Description
Welcome to the opportunity of a lifetime in the quaint town of Gedser, Denmark. Nestled on the beautiful island of Falster, Vildtgårdsvej 5 presents a unique chance to immerse yourself in the tranquil Danish countryside. While this house might be a diamond in the rough, it promises to be a rewarding project for those with a vision and a flair for renovation. Built in 1890, this detached single-family home reflects a piece of history that you can transform into your own cozy retreat. Gedser, being a town known for its scenic landscapes and calm sea breezes, offers an idyllic setting for anyone yearning for peace but with the zest of life that comes with a tight-knit community.
Gedser, you see, is a little gem hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Denmark's larger cities. Living here means waking up to serene mornings filled with the scent of fresh sea air, perfect for those who cherish nature at its finest. Being the southernmost town in Denmark, it is unique for both its historical significance and for being a gateway to Germany via ferry, adding a layer of cultural richness and connectivity to your life here. While it's small, Gedser is rich with local activities. You can spend your weekend wandering at Gedser Odde, the southernmost point of Denmark, where the sight of the vast expanse of the Baltic Sea always captivates. For history enthusiasts, the Gedser Remise Railway Museum offers a nostalgic journey back in time.
As you contemplate living here, picture a house that is patiently waiting for your personal touch. Let me paint the picture: The property stands on a generous 751 square meter plot, stretching its two-story presence with a total living area of about 103 square meters, crafted with time-honored bricks synonymous with Danish houses from that era. While it does call for some renovation work, the bones of the house offer a great starting point. With an entrance hall that opens up to a living room, a kitchen next to it ready to be transformed into a culinary haven, and a handy utility room, the ground floor sets the stage for daily family life. The utility room, fitted with an oil furnace, connects to an outbuilding that could be your future workshop—a treasure chest of possibilities for creative pursuits.
The first floor offers two bedrooms, ready to absorb the laughter and warmth of family or guests. They are intimate spaces where you can unwind and dream away after a long day. Sure, there's only one bathroom, but think of it as a cozy retreat just waiting for a modern update. Its original asbestos fiber cement roof reminds you of the home's storied past while offering an opportunity to maintain or replace with a more contemporary fixture. Outside lies a lush garden, your own slice of Danish greenery. Picture yourself gardening on a sunny afternoon or enjoying a quiet evening beneath the open sky. Without a terrace or balcony, you're directly in nature, embracing it fully.
Living in Gedser doesn't mean isolation. The town's municipality, Guldborgsund, is considerate of its residents' needs with essential amenities readily available. The supermarket, local shops, and schools create the backdrop for a balanced, rural life. If you are an overseas buyer or an expat seeking to establish roots in Denmark, you'll find the local community welcoming and full of character. Hosting social events and community gatherings contribute to a vibrant social calendar all year round.
Regarding the climate, Gedser experiences a temperate maritime climate with mild, pleasant summers perfect for outdoor activities, and cool windy winters that invite cozy nights indoor. Owning a house here provides not just a residence but an experience through the changing seasons, making each day unique.
In terms of cost, the property comes with an attractive price tag of 29,500 EUR. Yes, it's affordable, but it’s about seeing the potential, of creating your personal haven on a budget that let's you personalize every inch. The property's energy label is G, so while energy efficiency improvements are suggested, you have the power to turn it into an eco-friendly haven with the right upgrades.
For those who envision themselves rolling up their sleeves and embracing the challenge, this house offers more than walls and a roof; it offers a canvas for your dreams and ideas. This opportunity in Gedser is waiting for you to take that first step. Seize it!
