Description
Welcome inside
Step into a charming holiday home filled with vacation memories, where childhood summers come to life, and time seems to stand still. This two-story house exudes the classic Danish holiday home atmosphere of days gone by. Here, it’s easy to imagine long, slow days spent playing board games at the dining table while the distant sound of waves sets the scene.
The cozy living room is furnished with inviting furniture that calls for relaxation—whether with a good book or a steaming cup of coffee in hand. The bright kitchen is both delightful and inviting, perfect for treating your family to homemade baked goods while the aroma of freshly baked rolls blends with the familiar hum of the coffee machine. The bathroom is neat and functional, and the two bedrooms—one with a double bed, the other with two single beds—promise restful nights after days spent in the fresh sea air.
A wooden staircase leads from the living room up to the first floor. Here, an open and spacious lounge area welcomes you with a unique tranquility that only a holiday home like this can provide. This floor also offers two additional sleeping spaces and a small door leading out to a lovely balcony. As the evening sun sets over the Kattegat, wrap yourself in a blanket, sip a warm cup of tea, and take in the view—just like in the good old days.
Enjoy life outside
Outside, a large garden unfolds, where the grass has felt the footprints of countless children running across it. The spacious terrace offers a private retreat where you can soak up the sun from morning till evening while birds sing from the surrounding trees. It’s easy to picture a leisurely lunch here—checkered tablecloth, freshly picked strawberries, and a gentle breeze from the sea. And just 250 meters away, the beach awaits—a place where the sand still hides tiny seashells and where generations of children with rosy cheeks have built sandcastles and splashed in the waves.
Get up close to the local attractions
Skovgårde is a truly special holiday area—a place where life is simple and unhurried. Here, you can collect stones and seashells along the shore, cycle along picturesque trails following the stunning northern coast of Djursland, and breathe in the fresh scents of pine trees and saltwater. The nearby beach is perfect for families with children and is beloved by windsurfers chasing the waves.
The surrounding landscape is a treasure trove of natural beauty. Forests, fields, and heathlands create an idyllic backdrop for walking and cycling adventures, where you can easily lose track of both time and thought. A little further away, historical gems await, such as Mejlgård Castle, Sostrup Castle, and Gl. Estrup Manor—not to mention the ancient burial mounds of Tuestrup, the dramatic cliffs of Sangstrup, and the unique cable ferry crossing at Randers Fjord.
A visit to Fjellerup is also a must—where you can shop at the local grocer, enjoy a meal at one of the town’s cozy restaurants, or treat yourself to a giant ice cream cone from the legendary ice cream parlor.
And for those days when adventure calls, head to Scandinavia’s largest amusement park, Djurs Sommerland, or explore the Kyst- og Fjordcentret, the Scandinavian Wildlife Park, or the Kattegat Centre in Grenå.
Here, in Skovgårde, the perfect blend of nostalgia, nature, and adventure awaits.
