The house on Markvej was purchased in 1884. In 1913, a large annex was added to the property with studios, kitchen, living and bed rooms.[2][3][4]

They lived in the house for five decades and in 1913 expanded it with a studio annex designed by architect Ulrik Plesner (1861–1933) another member of the colony. The house now serves as a historic house museum and displays a large numbers of their own works and their personal art collection.

After the death of Michael and Anna Ancher in 1927 and 1935, respectively, the property was taken over by Helga Ancher (1883–1964) their only child, who owned it until her death in 1964.
