Description
This impressive detached villa is located on the edge of the beloved villa district of Sint-Michielsgestel. The property offers a unique living experience characterized by tranquility, space, and greenery, while remaining close to all necessary amenities. With a living area of no less than 334 square meters, the villa provides ample room for comfortable family living. The house is situated on an exceptional plot of nearly 4000 square meters, specifically 3394 square meters according to the cadastral data, which consists of two adjacent lots. The location ensures a high degree of privacy, yet it remains accessible. The city center of Den Bosch can be reached by bicycle within twenty minutes, striking a perfect balance between rural living and urban convenience.
Originally built in 1971 by a renowned local contractor who designed and occupied the property for decades, the villa boasts solid construction quality and a thoughtful layout. The building underwent a stylish modernization in 2013, where comfort and luxury were harmoniously integrated. The result is a timeless residence that immediately conveys a sense of home.
Upon entering, visitors are welcomed by a royal entrance featuring high ceilings that define the spacious atmosphere found throughout the home. The interior finishing reflects a refined taste, contributing to a warm and inviting environment. The living room is adjacent to the kitchen and features large windows, allowing the greenery of the garden to become a part of the interior. A fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere during the winter months, while in the summer, the view extends over the terrace and garden. The high ceilings and wide wooden floor enhance the sense of space.
The heart of the home is the spacious living kitchen. Thanks to large window sections, this room is constantly connected to the garden and offers a view of the rear estate, Theede. The kitchen is equipped with a generous worktop, a cooking island, a Quooker, and a cozy bar where friends and family can gather while meals are being prepared. It serves as a central place for daily living and enjoyment.
The villa offers significant flexibility in its layout. On the ground floor, there is a spacious bedroom and a luxury bathroom, making it ideal for guests, an au pair, or for those preferring single-level living. Additionally, there is a separate room currently used as an office, which could easily function as a hobby room, practice space, or playroom.
The first floor accommodates three more spacious bedrooms, a large work or study room, a modern bathroom, and a very large walk-in closet. This variety of rooms makes the property suitable for diverse living wishes and family compositions.
The outdoor space is a defining feature of this property. Words often fall short when describing the garden, which offers a rare combination of complete privacy, mature greenery, and expansive views. It functions as a private nature reserve where one primarily hears birds singing and occasionally sees squirrels. The stress of daily life naturally fades into the background here. A notarized agreement regarding the adjacent plot at the rear ensures that no building will take place there, guaranteeing the preservation of the view and privacy for the future.
The beautifully landscaped garden is positioned favorably towards the sun and features multiple terraces, ensuring a pleasant spot can be found at any time of the day. The heated swimming pool forms a natural part of the landscape. It is equipped with its own poolhouse, which includes a changing room, outdoor shower, and toilet. The pool system includes a heating system, a chlorine installation, and a comfortable UV sun cover. From the garden, there is a free view over the surrounding greenery, with Golfclub De Dommel visible in the distance.
A notable plus point for this property is the presence of an extra building plot on the premises measuring 40 by 20 meters. This offers interesting possibilities for expanding the home, adding a caretaker residence, or other future developments, subject to municipal approval. These possibilities add extra value to this exceptional location.
Practical facilities are well catered for with a detached double garage. The garage is equipped with heating, electricity, running water, and a practical attic. This makes it suitable not only for cars but also as a workshop, studio, or hobby space. The property is accessed via a representative driveway closed off by two electric gates, providing ample parking space for multiple cars on the private grounds.
Technically, the villa is excellently maintained. It features 32 solar panels, partial underfloor heating, an alarm system, a video intercom, and various recent technical updates. The energy label is C, which indicates a certain level of insulation including roof, floor, and double glazing, though there is always room for improvement in such a large older home.
Sint-Michielsgestel has grown into one of the most popular residential locations around Den Bosch in recent years. The village offers a complete range of facilities including shops, a primary school, daycare, restaurants, and sports facilities, all within a short distance. The roads to Den Bosch, Eindhoven, and Utrecht are easily accessible. For lovers of nature and recreation, beautiful forests and hiking areas are literally around the corner, making it an excellent environment for running or walking.
In summary, this is an exceptional villa with allure, situated on a unique plot in the middle of the green. It is a place where peace, space, luxury, and future possibilities converge.
