Nestled in the serene landscapes of Gudhjem, a charming town on the northeastern coast of the Danish island of Bornholm, lies a delightful villa that offers tranquility and a sense of timeless rural retreat. Known as "Skovlunde," this hidden gem boasts an enchanting position, ensconced by forest, meadows, and streams, and offers an expansive view of the Baltic Sea where one can start the day with breathtaking sunrises.
This unique property rests on a 5,772 m² plot and is characterized by its architectural blend of tradition and rustic charm. The villa, comprising an L-shaped half-timbered building, includes two individual residences with a combined living space of 199 m². An additional high barn, which incorporates a workshop and ample storage capabilities, forms a harmonious courtyard alongside the main building, paved with cobblestones. A south-facing garden adorned with berry bushes and mature trees offers ample space for relaxation and outdoor activities. To the east, you can enjoy uninterrupted views over the sea.
The main living area, converted from a former stable, maintains a rustic elegance with extensive use of natural materials including wood and tiles. The thoughtful renovation preserves the historical integrity of the building while providing modern comforts. The primary section features a welcoming entrance, a spacious bathroom with a unique sunken shower design, and two cozy bedrooms. The open-plan kitchen and living area, equipped with a wood stove, spill out onto the garden, connecting you with nature and sea views. The living room, with its inviting French fireplace and tiled flooring, opens onto a quaint balcony overlooking the sea.
The guest quarters are equally well-appointed, featuring their own entrance, a modern bathroom, and kitchen that seamlessly merges into the living area. Two additional bedrooms, one of which includes a wood stove, complete this section of the home.
The potential for further customization exists with the currently unused upper floors, where new spaces can be created, perhaps offering even more expansive views of the Baltic sea from the eastern gable.
While the villa is indeed a retreat, the local area of Gudhjem and its surroundings offer a plethora of activities and amenities. Just a short distance from the property, residents can explore Bornholm's Medieval Center, BornPark, and the iconic Østerlars Round Church. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Nature Park Bornholm provides excellent opportunities for hiking and wildlife watching. The bustling small town of Gudhjem, about 2 kilometers away, is well-known for its artistic community, and its shops and restaurants provide a taste of local culture and cuisine along with the stunning rocky coast.
Life in Gudhjem provides an exceptional blend of rural charm and cultural richness. The climate here is mild with influences from the surrounding Baltic Sea, making it ideal for those who appreciate a temperate environment with distinct, but not extreme, seasonal changes.
This villa, positioned as a potential multi-family summer retreat or a generous family home, offers all the advantages of country living while still being close enough to modern conveniences and community infrastructures.
