Inside Helena Christensen's breathtaking Danish Summer House

- Christensen is talking about her summer house in Denmark that she has owned now for over 22 years. At the time of purchase, she explains, she had been living in Paris and then New York but wanted a place to escape to when she returned home. She desired a place to give her son Mingus a little slice of nature. “I wanted to keep the feeling of everything as integrated with the ocean, with the beach, with the sand and with the rosehip bushes outside,” she says.

Forget all the flashy homes, this is my ideal home! So connected to nature, the sea and the Earth in a very organic way. I would be in heaven 😍
just what i was thinking!!!!
@@guineapigshavetakenovermyl6602 same
Me too.
I did a massive aaaaaaaah when I saw it. What a beautiful, tranquil place.
A flashy home is cheaper than something this old and unique.
I also love that this home wasn’t perfectly staged, with everything put away. Most homes that are showcased looks like no one lives there. She had all her shampoos and brushes out, like a normal person. 😅❤️
This was beyond satisfying. So relaxing. Her voice. The decor. The ocean. The background audio. Cured my busy brain temporarily. Thank you
A busy brain is not always a productive one. Practice yoga.
@@judithrandall4690 thanks for the suggestion, bc I definitely didnt mean that in a good way 😕 sigh
Same. I don’t know why but I also shed a tear lol
@@Beyoncessister I didn't think you did mean it positively but sometimes, we just accept our bugaboos as a permanent thing and stop trying to fix them. It's easier. I have a problem with taking the necessary time to do something right and not rush through it and mess it up. And when I do slow down and take the time, I feel like a new and better person. I learned this in a book titled, "Everything You Need To Know You Learned In Kindergarten"'. And it's mainly true.
If you liked that background audio,
you need to be listening to Pink Floyd.
A home, not just another celebrity house. So authentic, so lovely. Makes me wanna live there too...
True. But she also needs to clean it.
Get a grip...
This is as authentic, real, as Danish as it gets.
I once stayed in a place like this on vacation. There was a sea lion colony off the coast, going to sleep with the waves crashing on the beach, the mist and the sounds of sea lions was magical.
My in-laws have homes in Maine that are like this. It's fantastic. I want to recommend the film "Through A Glass Darkly" by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. It's set on an island, and has this sort of atmosphere. Although, it's done in black and white.
Where was it?
@@HomeAtLast501 And is a very dark tale indeed.
@@judithrandall4690 I find the ending hopeful.
A lady that knows what life is truely about, All the best Helena
My Dad lives 5-10 minutes walk from where she has her summer house. It's a very beautiful and calming place to live. It's lovely
What area in Denmark is it in?
Is your dad taking in strays by any chance? Specifically, me? Lol
@@sharrablackfire7337 Shoot your shot 🤣✋
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 right? lol, nothing to lose and a Danish beachfront to gain haha
It's at Nordsjælland (North Zealand) coast. Close to a city called Rågeleje. Very lovely, but quite expensive area.
Beautiful natural lady. So genuine. Lovely to see and hear her beliefs. So appreciate of what she has. How repectable to nature.
Someone who appreciates the wind and the ever changing weather conditions. Beautiful.
It’s like your grandmas house. Adorable
This is a stunning home. Furnished beautifully. Quiet, calm. Natural. She has wonderful taste.
Thank you for showing a less than perfect, non-antiseptic home that somebody actually lives in, not a showpiece house intended to impress or intimidate.
Thank you for using that word antiseptic that is a good way of describing what a lot of homes look like nowadays aside from cold and soulless
She just sounds like a cool, genuine person. And on top of that she is gorgeous. Nice
JEALOUS!….. I grew up in a house right smack on the beach with very few neighbors. It was heaven to me - even more so in winter when the water was cold and frothy from heavy winds and pounding waves, which I always thought was so exciting!
My memory is rich with many beach combing stories of fabulous finds and long hot summer days with crystal water that looked like glass and the constant caress of the wind which made you forget you were burnt to a crisp!!
But, what I miss most of all is the symphony of the ever present seagulls, sandpipers, kittiwakes, fish eagles and more mixed with the sound of the waves. It’s the music of my soul!! It’s what makes me feel whole again and brings me back to who I was meant to be.
I don’t blame you for spending 50% of your time in the water. If I had a beach house now (in my retirement years), I’d never be in it - I’d spend ALL of my time on the sand……that’s we’re God talks to me….and I can hear him. 😊
What a wonderful comment. Your words painted a vivid picture. Thank you!
Aaaahhhh. Beautiful. The world would be like heaven if that were everyone's aspiration!! 🤗
Where was your beautiful beach home? I have a friend who lives in the North East of England and we visit often and I absolutely love spending time on the quiet beaches there.

Our house was in the US, in the State of Virginia, in what’s called the Northern Neck. It was within a private (gated) community that was large enough to eventually hold thousands of homes when it was 100% finished. My parents bought a lot right on the beach in 1970, just after the developer finished putting in all the infrastructure, like the roads a private club house & huge pool with tennis courts, a small golf course and a 100 acre man made lake that was 3 miles from our house (which was within a decent walking distance for me).
We waited about a year after my parents bought the lot, then began construction of the house. When it was completed, it was the 17th house in the subdivision of over 14,000 acres……so, when I say we had few neighbors, it was no exaggeration! Matter of fact, several of the other houses (much like our own), were 2nd homes for their respective owners. This meant less than a handful of them held permanent residents, which served to make my life there even more isolated and idyllic.
I had miles and miles of private beaches to myself and could spend an entire day walking without seeing another person. We had a couple of boats and a catamaran tied up to our small dock and my absolute favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning was to cut 3 acres of grass via our orange riding lawnmower wearing my bikini, then run down to the dock as soon as I was finished, jump in my little John boat which had a small gas powered outboard motor and head to the sandbar across the inlet, where I’d spend the rest of my day beach combing, sunbathing and listening to the pop music top 40 countdown on my transistor radio.
Just before dusk, I’d motor half way back, stop to check the crab pots tied to poles in the inlet and then haul whatever was in the pots back to the house for dinner.
I spent all summer on the beach or at the club house pool. In fall I roamed around the woods and fished in the lake. In winter, I’d ice skate on the inlet and walk the beach in the cold wind all bundled up in a giant parka (with face mask, gloves and about 900 other layers), especially after a big storm when I could find the best “treasures”!!!
My favorite memories are filled with the sights, sounds and smells of the water, the salt air and the incredible beauty of nature there. The kind of nature you can only enjoy when you’re alone because that’s when you see & experience the best stuff!!!
@@joycestempa5647 Thank you Joyce for answering my request. You sound like you were very lucky to experience all of that as a youngster. Your descriptive language really transported me to that place and time. My mother was fortunate to have enjoyed an idyllic childhood also and she tells us stories all the time about her life in those days. I love hearing stuff like this. I wish you good health and good luck. Peace.
This is the meaning of a dream home!
Makes me feel so good about our home which is very old but also charming and right by the water like this, she makes such rustic and unpresumptuous a place seem magical
You don't need anyone famous to know it's magic! 😍
truly
You're describing my dream home! Very old, charming and right in the water! Truly that is my dream home 💕
More interviews with Helena Christensen, please. I love seeing her posts on Instagram. She is very inspiring.
Now that's a DREAM home! Beautiful!
She didn’t overly fancify it! Shocking. So unusual.
I could adopt everything about this. Such a beautiful, breezy, cozy home above the sea. Love it!
I am part Danish , my great grandfather was a Danish sea captain. The sea is in my blood and I would love to live somewhere like this. The sea calms me.
Fun facts: No matter where you are in Denmark, you will always be less than 50 kilometres from a coastline. More than 98% percent of our coastline are freely access able for all. At 98% of our beaches you are allowed to be and swim in the nude. Many Danes take a dip daily in the ocean, year round! The Kingdom of Denmark consists of Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland. The Danish monarchy are the oldest in Europe with its first attested historical king on the throne in year 710. Denmark are today a constitutional monarchy with a open market economy, have a multi party democracy and a one chambered parliament. Faroe Islands and Greenland have own parliaments but also permanent seats in the Danish. Denmark are amongst the original co founders of NATO.
Love her home and her attitude! To see someone who was part of the fast world of fashion ,living a very grounded life is beautiful. When all is said and done the beauty of the natural world is priceless! Brava,you area beautiful person inside&out
Any pictures I've seen from her homes are similar ❤️
This iconic woman and supermodel was always such an individualist an so cool and still is.
Being able to connect with Nature that's real luxury. I can relate a lot.
Nicely done video. The focus is on the place, and not the celebrity.
We all need a home like this, it's truly a luxury to grow up with nature like you and nature is one.
Beautiful home… her bedroom was so nice, the outside is gorgeous
0:30-0:43 dreamy amazing cinematography whoever filmed and edited it is amazingly talented
oh my god she's living in a dream, i can feel the wind through the video
Beautiful! My kind of living! Peaceful, quiet country life. Love 💕 it!
Beautiful woman...beautiful place...
In two words: classy and elegant. The way a nice home should be.
What a beautiful place...I imagine myself in a home near the sea just like this...wonderful 😊
This is definitely my kind of home. Can't live without nature.
Beautiful summer house, so rustic, so pure. I suddenly am missing my good friend, she is from the stark and beautiful Jutland. Was just listening to an instrumental of Wicked Game a while ago when then this popped on my feed. Thank you, YT.
Wow! Short n Sweet! I wish the video was a bit longer and a wish we could see the beautiful Helena talking?
such a romantic, feminine, light filled home
The most Cancer home I've ever seen! 🦀♋❤️
⬅This picture of me was taken on the beach in Helena´s neighbourhood. Its a beautiful, relaxing, happy place for me. I go back there every year.
Edit: Helena´s house is magical, it goes without saying.
You are fortunate to have these sensibilities. You have kept your mind.
So incredibly chic and comfortable…I regained 10 years just watching the video of how laidback and peaceful this beautiful house is …love ❤
This was fun to see, as a dane. It's actually a pretty standard Danish summer house. Of course the interior can vary quite a bit, but still pretty standard. I love our summer house. Highlight of the year being there in the summer!
I live the same way all year long in Brentwood Bay, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. Love it! It makes me happy too!
I have always been a fan of her style. I am 49 so yes same era i grew up in the 1980's. So cool to see a wonderful, light & smooth home. And that Ocean is topping it All off. Nice to see what people have accomplished in there life & how they put down their roots
Lovely sentiments! And I agree
I've never heard the ocean referred to as a topping, but I guess we all have different priorities.
That's really lovely, blends in with the nature around it very nicely
This is Luxury 💞💖🙌🏾😎 I can feel the peace transmitting from this place through the screen💖💖💖 Love, Love, Love
Beautiful simple and the beach is adding to the beauty.
Home is not just a place with walls and roof with a name on its proprietary papers. It's more than them.
oohhh this is like a dream place for me. the windy isolating vibe is amazing.
So beautiful
scandinavian home
Beautiful location and a very healing lifestyle 💕
Rocks are my favorite in my home decoration too. Rocks keep you grounded.
it feels nostalgic
Omg the house the place everything is so beautiful and peaceful 🕊️
this reminds me of a small cottage i stayed at in canada once. it was small and on a field. i would sit on the porch and it was so relaxing. my goal is to have something like this one day
This is a real home, cozy
Wow so beautiful..Thank you for Helena for sharing her home 🇦🇺❤️
we have the same definition of what luxury is, ‘being with nature,swimming,diving into the ocean,’
Now this is living ❤️
Stunning, she has fantastic sense of style and character.
So unique, soulful, magical✨
Truly beautiful house it's a real beach pad
I collect rock and seashells from the sea too. Beautiful Artistic House. I adore antique too. I like the blend between vintage and new.
She was always my favourite supermodel. This is great 😊
Can't stop watching
I really wanna to live in place like that and it feels nostalgic idk why
So soothing and relaxing
This sounds perfect. Real style for a real life. Thank you for sharing a bit of your dream.

My absolute favourite supermodel. She is so inspiring
She is so beautiful
That was seriously one of the most calming videos I’ve ever seen.
This was peaceful.
Just how I like it 💗 peaceful…ocean ☀️
Such a beautiful woman inside & out.
Feels very homy and not Noveau rich or unpersonal like most Models have
Why do you think norman redous left her and go
It’s ok to say nice things without being passive aggressive to others!
Bliss... Pure bliss...
Oh my god! This is the home that I wanted too
Well this was a nice experience, thank you.
Amazing!! So lovely
Beautiful and real. Thank you.
Love it she favors my mother so much it’s scary my mother is 🇵🇪 as well and 🇵🇷 I wonder 💭
That was beautiful!
Fabulous! Nature at its best! Congratulations!
Absolutely lovely.
Oooh love this❤more interior videos please ❤
Most beautiful Vogue story home ever ever made...
Omg this is beautiful, so inspiring!
The air seems so clear. I miss that... Being able to breathe without coughing. It reminds me how polluted the air is where I live, in Belgium. Some Belgians have moved to Scandinavia for the clear air alone.
Hauntingly beautiful
Beautiful and so peaceful
Wow! So beautiful!!!!
Gorgeous!
It's so beautiful.
Beautiful place
Just lovely… ❤
This is absolutely beautiful. Wow..
Helena es una mujer mágica…
