Key Features
Description
This exclusive building plot is situated on one of the most sought after and picturesque locations in Kennemerland, positioned between the affluent areas of Aerdenhout and Bennebroek. The property offers a rare opportunity to create a substantial detached country house in a setting that combines natural beauty with convenient accessibility to the Randstad region.
The plot measures 5,535 square meters at the current designated location A, which is registered under cadastral parcel H 488 in the municipality of Bloemendaal. Access to this location would be provided via the Bekslaan. The seller is currently pursuing a process to relocate the building envelope to an alternative position referred to as location B, which would be situated on cadastral parcel H 486. This alternative location offers an even more expansive setting of approximately 8,000 square meters and would be accessed via the Vogelenzangseweg. It is important to note that utility lines from PWN and Liander are situated adjacent to location B.
The zoning plan applicable to this property is designated as Landelijk gebied 2013 in its consolidated version. Building regulations permit a gutter height of 6 meters with a 10 percent margin and a ridge height of 10 meters with a 10 percent margin. The building footprint is approximately 20 meters by 15 meters, resulting in a footprint of around 300 square meters. Within these parameters, it is possible to construct a residence with a living area of approximately 650 to 800 square meters and a volume of approximately 2,500 cubic meters. The design may comprise two floors with a mansard roof structure.
In addition to the main residence, the zoning plan permits the construction of outbuildings up to 55 square meters within a designated area, with a maximum gutter height of 3 meters and a maximum building height of 6 meters. This allows for the creation of auxiliary spaces such as a garage, storage, or garden studio that complement the main dwelling.
The surroundings of this building plot are truly exceptional. The property borders directly onto extensive bulb fields that characterize this part of the Kennemerland region and provide an open, panoramic view across the landscape. On the opposite side, the nature reserve Landgoed Leyduin is visible, adding to the pastoral setting. The Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, a vast nature reserve popular for walking and cycling, is within walking distance. This combination of open views, proximity to wooded areas, and the presence of protected natural landscapes creates an environment of remarkable tranquility and privacy.
For those seeking an even more expansive estate like setting, there exists the unique possibility to acquire the adjacent meadow land measuring 4,669 square meters. By combining the building plot with this additional parcel, a total property of more than one hectare could be assembled, creating a landgoed of exceptional scale and character within the Randstad.
Despite the rural and secluded character of the location, the practical amenities are surprisingly close at hand. The area is known for its quiet and family friendly atmosphere. Renowned schools, sports clubs, and high quality shopping facilities are all within easy reach. The NS station Heemstede Aerdenhout provides direct rail connections, while major highways offer efficient access to Haarlem, Amsterdam, The Hague, and other destinations throughout the Randstad. The historic center of Haarlem and the beaches and dunes of Zandvoort are both conveniently nearby.
The plot has been verified with a clean soil declaration confirming the absence of soil contamination. A quickscan regarding Flora and Fauna has also been completed and is available for review. These documents provide reassurance regarding the environmental condition of the site and can facilitate the planning and permitting process for future construction.
The property is offered at an asking price of 1,600,000 euros, which is a buyer obligation price meaning that transfer taxes and notary fees for the purchase deed are additional costs borne by the buyer. The land is owned in full title, which is an important consideration as leasehold properties carry ongoing ground lease obligations.
Viewing of the building plot is possible by appointment only. Given the unique nature of this opportunity and the complexity of the building regulations and options regarding location A versus location B, prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM accredited purchase agent early in the process. A professional advisor can assist in evaluating the possibilities, verifying the planning status, and negotiating favorable terms.
This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial building plot in one of the most prestigious residential areas of the Netherlands. The combination of plot size, building possibilities, natural surroundings, and central location within the Randstad makes this property particularly distinctive. The ability to design and build a custom residence to personal specifications, with approximately 800 square meters of living space on a plot of over 5,000 square meters, is an opportunity that seldom becomes available in this region.
