Rooms
Living room
High ceilings, skylight, and the calm of the wood stove. The south windows draw the day inside — it stays bright here long after other houses have grown dark.
Welcome
Read the full story
As the story is told, the young painter Per Iversen came to Blokhus as a pupil of Axel P. Jensen — one of Denmark's great landscape painters. In the master's house he met the young woman of the house, Anna. They fell in love, and they married. And as a wedding gift, the couple were allowed to choose a piece of Pirupshvarre's dune land, which Jensen owned at the time, to build their home on.
They built a house that only painters would build: with long bands of windows facing south, so all year the light falls in behind the person standing to paint — with the face turned north, toward the landscape. Drawn by the Paludan architects. In the basement was the darkroom where photographs were developed. A house built to SEE from. It has never stopped being that.
In 2004, after 37 years and only one owner, a woman found the house. All her life she had had the ability to see what a place could become — and she knew her husband needed to see the same. So she led him in blindfolded and said: Don't look at the house. Look out the windows. Both sides. That is what we are buying.

Rooms
Kitchen/dining
Italian design kitchen, two top-series Miele ovens — one with both hot air and microwave — and a warming drawer for plates, as in a restaurant. Used with care and polished up, it stands like new.
Rooms
Entrance hallway
The entrance hallway is the true first room of the house: a bright distribution space with the living room ahead and the guest end plus guest bathroom to the side.
Rooms
The parents' end
The master bedroom sits at one end of the house with its own bathroom — the house is around 25 metres long, so you sleep here in a world of your own.
Rooms
Two guest rooms
The two guest rooms sit in the separate 1974 wing. The correct visual cue is the entrance hallway toward the guest bathroom and guest rooms, not the utility/back kitchen.
Rooms
Guest bathroom
The guest bathroom has light wooden furniture, a white sink surface and a calm position by the guest rooms in the 1974 wing.
Rooms
Main bathroom
The main bathroom gathers the white furniture, light basin and shower corner in a clean, quiet part of the parents' end.
Rooms
Utility/back kitchen
The utility/back kitchen is both workroom and back entrance: lyssted_17 leads toward the stable/garage and South terrace, while lyssted_18 shows the washer/dryer stack, sink and worktop.
Rooms
The basement
The basement is not the utility room. The correct images show white walls and grey floors: 80 m² with around 220 cm ceiling height, wine-cellar niche and a quiet reserve level.
Rooms
Outdoor area
The outdoor area gathers the East terrace with red cushions, the South terrace by the utility side, dunes, meadows and protected nature around the house.
Rooms
Stable/Garage
The former stable held the family's Icelandic horses Baldur, Torstein and Freya. The door was replaced 1-2 years ago with a wide sliding window frame of about 220-240 cm and a new Velux entry door. Two interior horse-exit doors are intentionally blocked off, leaving the buyer to choose: stable again, garage/workshop or annex.
Place
Blokhus & the dunes
8,270 m² of private land — and yet so much more. All the land around Lyssted is protected nature. No one can ever build on the meadows around the house. No one comes there. The deer come, the hares, the birds. To own Lyssted is to live as if on five to ten hectares — a wilderness garden on every side, forever. And the calm is tangible: the nearest neighbour is 150-200 metres away, in a town where a neighbour otherwise stands ten metres from your terrace. The house sits warmly sheltered from the west wind — there is always a corner without wind, where the sun falls and the thermometer edges toward 30-40 degrees. Stand in the middle of the house and feel it yourself: the meadows, the dune row toward the sea, the hills inland. The sunrises cannot be described. They have to be seen.
Beach
The North Sea sits as the broad blue horizon beyond the dunes.
Privacy
The nearest neighbour is approx. 150-200 m away, while 5-10 m is normal in town. The placement creates shelter, sunny corners and terrace days that can feel 30-40 °C warm.
Dunes
The plot is large, green and quiet, with dune grass and pine around the house.
Blokhus
The town, restaurants and summer life are close without breaking the calm.
History
1967 · Per Iversen · Paludan
As the story is told, the young painter Per Iversen came to Blokhus as a pupil of Axel P. Jensen — one of Denmark's great landscape painters. In the master's house he met the young woman of the house, Anna. They fell in love, and they married. And as a wedding gift, the couple were allowed to choose a piece of Pirupshvarre's dune land, which Jensen owned at the time, to build their home on.
They built a house that only painters would build: with long bands of windows facing south, so all year the light falls in behind the person standing to paint — with the face turned north, toward the landscape. Drawn by the Paludan architects. In the basement was the darkroom where photographs were developed. A house built to SEE from. It has never stopped being that.
In 2004, after 37 years and only one owner, a woman found the house. All her life she had had the ability to see what a place could become — and she knew her husband needed to see the same. So she led him in blindfolded and said: Don't look at the house. Look out the windows. Both sides. That is what we are buying.
Then followed a thorough renovation — counted in millions and in love. Walls were opened so the light could wander farther into the house. New roof, new insulation, new ceilings, new doors, new Velux windows throughout, new electrical installations throughout the house. Only the original stone plinth was left untouched. And one day her husband came home with a horse as a gift — Baldur. Later came Torstein and Freya and more. Icelandic horses in the meadows, life in the stable. A girl's dream, held for fifty years, came true right here.

Possibilities
For those willing to think further
All of it is possibility, not promise — but the house and the land can carry them all.
The rooftop terrace
Requires permission: full, open sea view over the dune rows.
The collector's dream
Excavate in front of the house, reopen the old internal basement stair — and place a glass floor in the living room with the cars visible below. Possible? With will and permissions: yes.
The guest house in the stable
Bath + room = annex for family or rental.

Viewing
Experience Lyssted
Lyssted isn't to be read. It is to be experienced — in the middle of the house, with the light at your back and meadows on every side, exactly as the painters built it. Book a viewing. Then you will understand the rest.
