On the island of Fyn, you’ll love the bustling marina of the 12th-century town of Bogense. While this vibrant settlement offers gorgeous sights like Saint Nicholas Church and a slice of peaceful life, you might desire even more rural surroundings. An eleven-minute drive away, this home doesn’t give any sort of urban pretenses.

Towering trees and leafy bushes surround the house, which looks traditional despite being built in 2017. It’s a spot for a truly rustic life, including a fish cleaning table for keen hunter-gatherers, as well as a log-burning stove and fire pit outside. But that said, it doesn’t come without some unexpected modern luxuries.

Out on the decking, after a meal of wholesome fresh fish and rye bread, pamper yourself in the hot tub under the stars. Pour yourself some bubbles with nothing but the sounds of the forest around you. Inside, find yet more 21st-century facilities such as solar panels and geothermal heating (you’ve got to be eco-friendly when you’re living in these surroundings). We also love the hygge vibe in the home, with wood creating a warm glow thanks to soft lighting features that bring nature to life, and spectacular use of glass to remind you of what’s outdoors.
