Detached Design Villa by Architect Paul Ruiter on Nearly 1.2 Hectares of Private Land

This detached villa is located in De Bult, a quiet hamlet in the Kop van Overijssel region, directly bordering the Landgoed De Eese estate. The property was designed by architect Paul Ruiter and built in 2021, positioned carefully within the surrounding landscape with a strong emphasis on light and views. The home sits on an elevated, peaceful location and offers free views of the surrounding greenery and farmlands from nearly every room.

The total plot measures 11,595 square meters, which equals almost 1.2 hectares of private land. This expansive outdoor space provides significant privacy around the property and includes multiple seating areas, a lawn that transitions into the adjacent landscape, and plantings featuring apple trees, a stewing pear tree, and a magnolia. Wildlife such as deer and hares are regularly spotted in the immediate surroundings. The garden is designed to flow naturally into the broader landscape, creating a seamless connection between the manicined areas and the rural environment beyond.

The living area of the villa covers 250 square meters, all situated on a single floor, making the property fully accessible and suitable for long term living without the need to navigate stairs. The building volume is 952 cubic meters, and there is an additional 18 square meters of covered outdoor space.

Upon entering the home, the open floor plan immediately reveals the landscape through large glass facades. The living kitchen forms the heart of the residence. This space accommodates a large dining table and features an island kitchen equipped with an induction cooktop, hot air oven, combination microwave, plate warmer, dishwasher, and a Quooker faucet in brushed stainless steel. A large refrigerator and spacious freezer are also present. The built in appliances are from AEG and Bosch, and the kitchen offers ample cabinet space with a clean, functional design.

The covered terrace serves as an extension of the living space during warmer months, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly. Views from this area encompass the lawn and adjacent fields.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with separate connections for a washing machine and dryer, an additional refrigerator, a sink, and the electrical meter cabinet. A side door provides access to the exterior. A storage room is accessible via a sliding door and offers practical storage space.

The living room, featuring a wood burning fireplace, connects openly with the living kitchen, creating a spacious and bright unified area.

The sleeping wing is designed as a quiet, private section of the home. The main bathroom includes a vanity unit with a zebrano wood top and a separate hanging cabinet, a freestanding bathtub, a rain shower, a toilet, and a bidet. The sanitary fixtures are from Villeroy and Boch, and all faucets are finished in brushed stainless steel. This bathroom connects to a walk in closet and the master bedroom, which has access to a private terrace with expansive views over the farmlands.

The second section of the sleeping wing is reached via the central hall, where a spacious toilet with a designer fountain and mirror is located. This part of the home functions as an independent unit within the house, featuring its own hallway, bathroom, and two rooms connected by two sliding doors that allow the bathroom to be accessed from either room. One of these rooms is currently set up as a lounge and guest room with a piano, while the other serves as a bedroom with direct garden access.

The bathrooms and walk in closet are fitted with switchable privacy film on the glass, allowing the windows to be adjusted from transparent to opaque as desired.

On the opposite side of the hall is an office with two workstations, including a floor outlet. This space can also serve as an additional bedroom or multifunctional room.

The property features a comprehensive set of technical and comfort installations. These include twenty solar panels with a capacity of 410 Wp each, aluminum window frames, a home automation system controlling lighting and thermostats, wired internet in all rooms, balanced ventilation with heat recovery, central heating, a central vacuum system, orientation lighting, switchable privacy film, heated and illuminated bathroom mirrors, and an infrared camera system. The energy label is rated A++.

All floors have underfloor heating and are finished with either oak herringbone parquet or tile flooring, contributing to a consistent and comfortable interior atmosphere. The property is fully insulated, including roof, wall, and floor insulation, with double glazing throughout.

The heating system consists of a Nefit Proline HRC 30 cw5 gas fired combination boiler from 2021, which is owned by the current owner, supplemented by the wood burning fireplace and underfloor heating. Hot water is provided by the central heating boiler.

Outside, a separate bicycle storage building is present. The driveway provides parking space for multiple vehicles. While there is currently no garage, the listing notes that constructing one would be possible.

The location offers a varied landscape of forests, heathlands, ponds, and estates with numerous walking and cycling routes. The nearby Woldberg is a glacial moraine reaching 26 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest points in the region. An observation tower at the top provides panoramic views across Overijssel, Drenthe, Friesland, and Flevoland.

For water sports enthusiasts, the Weerribben Wieden National Park is within short distance. This extensive national park is known for its lakes, waterways, and characteristic water landscape, offering opportunities for boating, canoeing, and water recreation.

Steenwijk, a fortified town, is located at a short cycling distance and provides a complete range of amenities including shops, restaurants, and an intercity railway station. The Randstad region is accessible within a reasonable travel time.

The asking price is 1,845,000 euros, payable costs for the buyer. This translates to approximately 7,380 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is to be arranged by mutual agreement.
