Do you dream of a flexible-use home (holiday home) or a year-round home in a class of its own, with many unique details and sea views, on an island? Then Askø’s old dairy is definitely for you. The house dates from 1929 and is beautiful and classic, with fine architectural details, rendered walls and red tiles. It has been sensitively renovated – outside and in – with great respect for the original. The look is at once industrial and in “seaside hotel” style.

The property operated as the island’s dairy until 1969, and the current owners carried out its renovation and modernisation. Over the past 17 years they have used the property as a holiday home, and later as a year-round home and business premises. The living space is spread over 2 floors. The ground floor has an entrance hall with the original staircase to the first floor, a large kitchen with wall-mounted units, an open fireplace and a dining hall. From here there is access to the terrace and the garden with sea views.

A cosy living room has been created in the old dairy room, with a connecting passage to the toilets and bathroom. The first floor has a corridor running the full length of the house, giving access to 6 good rooms with double beds. The property is functionally laid out, with a total of 260 m² of light, welcoming rooms. The house has energy label A2010, so it can provide the setting for wonderful holidays and festive gatherings all year round. There is room for the whole family. Furniture, beds, duvets and bed linen on the first floor are included. Everything in the dining room and kitchen is included as well, so you can quickly start using the house after the handover. The handover can take place as soon as a purchase agreement has been registered.

Askø-Lilleø is a hit, with lots of wonderful experiences, peace and quiet, nature and rich bird and animal life, as well as plenty of “room to breathe”. A footpath/cycle route has been laid across the island. The beaches are child-friendly. The island has a beautiful old church, a museum, a village hall, shelters, a campsite and a grocery shop run by volunteers, as well as a large holiday-home area with 251 holiday homes. Askø is linked by a causeway to Lilleø, where Claus Meyer’s country retreat and fruit orchard are located. The contrast with the “big city” is appealing and unique, and there is no better place to unwind and “recharge your batteries”. There are good ferry connections if you want to explore Lolland, Falster and the islands of Femø, Fejø, Enehøje and Vejrø.

These places offer a wealth of experiences, including gourmet food in Bandholm, Nysted, Onsevig, Hesnæs Havn, Pomlenakke, Fuglsang Museum, Pederstrup, Knuthenborg safari park and Krenkerup brewery. Commuting is also an option. The crossing takes 25 minutes, and on special days you may spot porpoises in Smålandshavet. Askø has its own harbour, and moorings are inexpensive if you want to keep a boat there. Smålandshavet is ideal for kayaking, canoeing and kitesurfing. The house must be seen, and it is the current owners who show the property and provide you with all the practical information as well as the special island anecdotes and stories.
