This apartment is part of the Kastanje Erf development within the larger Zuydpolder new construction project in Barendrecht. The project consists of three small apartment buildings, each containing only fourteen apartments plus one penthouse. The apartment offered here is type Fuchsia B6, which is a corner apartment located on the second floor of the building.

Additionally, there is a loggia of 5 square meters and an external storage unit measuring 27 square meters.

The Kastanje Erf is designed as a residential island surrounded by water. Cars are parked centrally and out of sight, which contributes to a peaceful atmosphere within the residential area. The grounds are arranged with communal gardens, a vegetable garden, and seating areas. Residents of Kastanje Erf also have access to a communal living room located at the nearby Wilgen erf. There are two covered bicycle storage facilities available for residents.

The location offers direct access to nature. A 45 hectare nature area called Het landschap van Zuydpolder is adjacent to the development. Across the street lies the Oude Maas recreation area, which provides opportunities for walking along the water, using the fitness trail, or visiting Thermen Barendrecht for relaxation. The immediate surroundings are green and water rich, which encourages outdoor activities and social interaction among residents.

Despite the natural setting, the apartment is close to urban amenities. The Middenbaan shopping center and Carnisse Veste are within cycling or driving distance. Public transportation options include the tram stop at Carnisselande and the Barendrecht NS train station. Cultural activities can be found at Theater Het Kruispunt. Sports facilities and the Inge de Bruijn swimming pool are also located in the vicinity. By car, the A29 highway provides quick access to Rotterdam and Antwerpen.

The apartment meets high sustainability standards with an A+++ energy label. The building features full insulation and triple glazing. Heating is provided through underfloor heating, and the system also offers floor cooling for warmer months. A heat pump and heat recovery installation contribute to energy efficiency. Hot water is supplied by an electric boiler. The ventilation system uses balanced ventilation, which ensures good air quality throughout the apartment.

The apartment is classified as life cycle suitable, meaning it meets the Woonkeur 4 quality requirements for living with care. This makes the property suitable for current use and adaptable for future needs if required. The building is equipped with a lift, which adds to accessibility.

The construction of the Zuydpolder project started in October 2025. Of the total 174 homes in the entire Zuydpolder project, more than 90 percent have been sold. The Kersen Erf and Eiken Erf sections are completely sold out. Only a few apartments remain available at Kastanje Erf, with two apartments of the Fuchsia B6 type currently on offer.

The asking price is 680,000 euros vrij op naam. This means the transfer tax is included in the price. The price per square meter of living space is 5,354 euros. The property content is 333 cubic meters. The transfer date is to be agreed upon.

The building has a flat roof. Parking at the location is public parking, as there is no private parking included with this apartment. The property is situated along a park and on a quiet road, which contributes to a pleasant living environment.

The homeowners association has not yet been formally established at the time of listing, which is typical for new construction projects that are still in the building phase. This explains why the checklist items regarding KvK registration, annual meetings, periodic contributions, reserve funds, maintenance plans, and building insurance all show as not applicable at this moment.

The apartment type Fuchsia B6 is a corner unit, which typically offers more natural light due to windows on two exterior walls. The living room and kitchen combination of 56 square meters provides ample space for both cooking and relaxing. The two bedrooms can accommodate various furnishing arrangements. The separate toilet adds convenience for residents and guests. The internal storage room offers space for household items, while the external storage unit of 27 square meters is suitable for bicycles, gardening equipment, or seasonal items.

The loggia of 5 square meters functions as an outdoor space that is partially covered, allowing residents to enjoy fresh air in different weather conditions. The combination of floor heating and floor cooling provides year round climate comfort without the need for radiators or visible air conditioning units.

The Zuydpolder development represents a modern approach to residential construction that integrates nature, sustainability, and community living. The design philosophy emphasizes both individual comfort and social connections among residents through shared spaces and facilities. The location between the Oude Maas waterway and the city of Rotterdam offers a balance between natural tranquility and urban accessibility.
