Sehested later that same year sold the estate to a merchant from Copenhagen named Hans Pedersen Klein.

Petersen Klein's widow Magdalene Mogensdatter was after her husband's death second time married to Ernst Volcher.

His widow, Anne Margrethe Krag, kept the estate after her husband's death in 1717, In 1731, after struggling economically for years, like many other landowners of the time, she had to sell Strandegaard.

In his will of 1780, he converted his estates into a stamhus for his maternal uncle's grandson, Holger Reedtz, who in 1786 took the name Reedtz-Thott.

The estate has a total area of approximately 1,300 hectares of which just over half is farmland and the rest is forest and other natural habitats.

A project under Realdania's Manor Houses of the Future programme has worked with realizing new synergies between the organic farm and the hospitality-related activities.
