Luxury Forest-Edge Villa with Pool and Home Office in Almere
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional location directly at the forest edge with no rear neighbors and unobstructed front views, providing a high level of privacy and natural surroundings.
- Multifunctional practice room with its own separate entrance, offering flexibility for home office use, additional bedroom, or independent living space for family members or rental purposes.
- Strong sustainability credentials with 24 solar panels, A++ energy label, heat recovery ventilation, triple glazing, and full insulation, resulting in lower energy costs.
- Luxury outdoor amenities including a swimming pool, wooden canopy with sunshade, and a southeast-facing garden of 432 square meters.
- Ample on-site parking for four vehicles, which is particularly valuable for a property with a home office component.
Downsides
- Only three bedrooms for a property priced at 875,000 euros, which may be insufficient for larger families seeking a villa in this price range.
- The living area of 139 square meters is relatively modest for a villa, resulting in a high price per square meter of 6,295 euros.
- Electric heating and electric boiler systems may lead to higher running costs compared to properties with gas heating or heat pumps, despite the solar panel installation.
- Single-floor layout may not appeal to buyers who prefer traditional two-story homes with separate living and sleeping levels.
- Annual association contribution of 360 euros, though not excessive, is an additional recurring cost that buyers should factor into their budget.
Description
Located at Amaroqweg 87 in Almere, this detached villa offers a distinctive living experience where tranquility, space, and luxury converge. The property occupies a remarkable position directly adjacent to a forested area, with no rear neighbors and an unobstructed view at the front. This combination provides an exceptional level of privacy and a constant connection to the natural surroundings that few properties in the region can match.
Upon arrival, the property presents an inviting front garden and generous parking facilities designed to accommodate up to four vehicles. The open positioning at the front creates an immediate sense of spaciousness as you approach the residence. The villa was constructed in 2021, representing modern building standards and contemporary design principles throughout.
Entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that provides access to a guest toilet, one of the bedrooms, and the main living area. The living room immediately impresses with its large window sections that allow abundant natural light to flood the interior while framing views of the rear garden and the forest beyond. This design element effectively brings the outdoors inside, creating a seamless visual connection with the natural landscape.
The living area flows naturally into the luxurious open kitchen, which serves as a central focal point of the home. The kitchen features a sizeable cooking island that facilitates interaction between the cook and guests, making it ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a steam oven, a combination oven and microwave, and a cooker. This setup provides comprehensive culinary capabilities for both everyday cooking and more elaborate meal preparation.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to serve as a private retreat. It includes a well-appointed terrace area and a lower section of garden that transitions gracefully toward the forest view. A wooden canopy structure, complemented by a sunshade, extends the usability of the outdoor space well into the evening hours. The swimming pool adds a distinctive recreational element that enhances the holiday atmosphere of the property. The garden also accommodates a small chicken coop, reflecting a touch of rural character within this suburban forest setting.
From the main hallway, access is provided to the remaining bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly generous in size and includes an en-suite bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. This bedroom also connects to a practical walk-in closet and the adjacent practice room, creating a private suite-like arrangement.
The practice room represents one of the most versatile aspects of this property. With its own separate entrance at the front of the building, this space can serve multiple purposes. It is well-suited for those who work from home and require a professional environment separate from the living areas. Alternatively, it could function as an additional bedroom, independent living quarters for an older child, or even as a short-term rental space. The room includes an additional toilet, and from this area, you can access the laundry room and technical installations.
The property has been equipped with numerous sustainability and comfort features. Twenty-four solar panels contribute to reduced energy costs and a lower environmental footprint. A heat recovery ventilation system (WTW) ensures continuous fresh air circulation while minimizing heat loss. Air conditioning provides climate control during warmer periods. These installations, combined with the A++ energy label, triple glazing, and full insulation, indicate a property built with energy efficiency as a priority.
Heating is provided through an electric system supplemented by a wood-burning stove, which adds both warmth and ambiance during colder months. Hot water is supplied by an electric boiler. The property is connected to fiber optic cable for high-speed internet access.
In terms of specifications, the villa offers 139 square meters of living space with an additional 8 square meters of external storage. The total plot measures 926 square meters, with the rear garden specifically measuring 432 square meters at a depth of 16.6 meters and a width of 26 meters. The garden faces southeast, ensuring good sunlight exposure throughout the day. A free-standing plastic shed provides additional storage capacity.
The property contains four rooms in total, comprising three bedrooms and the multifunctional practice space. There is one full bathroom and two separate toilets in total. The entire living accommodation is arranged on a single floor, which may be particularly appealing to those who prefer to avoid stairs.
The location in Almere offers the advantages of a residential neighborhood while maintaining proximity to natural areas. The property is situated on a quiet road with views of the forest edge, combining the conveniences of suburban living with immediate access to recreational natural surroundings. The annual association contribution is 360 euros, which covers shared maintenance and facilities in the immediate vicinity.
This villa represents a relatively rare opportunity to acquire a modern, well-appointed property in a distinctive forest-adjacent setting. The combination of luxury features including the pool and high-specification kitchen, practical elements such as the home office space and ample parking, and sustainable installations creates a comprehensive package for discerning buyers seeking a premium residential experience in Almere.
