Description
Welcome to Jasmijnstraat 32 in Opheusden, a well-maintained detached villa that combines luxury, comfort, sustainability, and freedom in a manner rarely encountered in the housing market. This property is situated on a generous plot of 1,092 square meters, providing daily enjoyment of peace, privacy, and an exceptional sense of space.
The exterior of the property immediately presents an inviting appearance. Built in 1992, the villa features a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles, which has been well-maintained over the years. The property is fully insulated, with insulation in the roof, walls, and floor, complemented by double glazing throughout. This comprehensive insulation contributes to the excellent energy rating of label A.
One of the most notable features of this property is the heated outdoor swimming pool. The pool has its own dedicated heat pump system, ensuring comfortable water temperatures throughout the swimming season without excessive energy costs. Surrounding the pool are several sunny terraces and a covered veranda that create an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. The garden has been beautifully landscaped and includes an automatic irrigation system and a robotic lawn mower, making maintenance minimal for the new owner. The backyard measures 750 square meters with a depth of 25 meters and a width of 30 meters, oriented to the south for maximum sunlight exposure. A freestanding wooden shed provides additional storage space for garden equipment and pool accessories.
Sustainability is a central theme of this property. The villa is equipped with 47 solar panels, which significantly reduce electricity costs and contribute to the energy-neutral operation of the home. A modern heat pump installation was added in 2024, providing efficient heating and hot water through an electric boiler. The property is essentially gas-free, with the exception of the open fireplace which adds atmosphere and coziness during the winter months. An electric vehicle charging point is installed on the premises, ready for current or future electric car owners.
Entering the property through the main entrance, you are welcomed into a spacious reception hall with a vide, or double-height ceiling, that immediately creates an impression of grandeur and space. Large windows throughout the ground floor ensure excellent natural light penetration and reinforce the spacious feeling present throughout the home. The floor on the ground level features underfloor heating, providing comfortable and even warmth without the need for radiators.
The living area forms the heart of the house and seamlessly connects to the complete kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with various built-in appliances and offers ample workspace and storage capacity. The open layout between the living room and kitchen creates a natural flow and makes this space ideal for family life and entertaining guests.
The ground floor also includes a former garage that has been thoughtfully converted into a full bedroom. This conversion provides flexibility for guests, older family members, or those who prefer single-level living. The conversion means there is no longer an enclosed garage, though parking is available on the private driveway.
The first floor accommodates three additional bedrooms, including a generous master bedroom with a walk-in closet. This provides excellent storage for clothing and personal items without cluttering the sleeping area. A complete bathroom serves the first floor bedrooms, though the specific fixtures are not detailed in the listing. With four bedrooms total and one bathroom, the property may benefit from an additional bathroom for larger families.
Climate control throughout the property is handled by an air conditioning system with six indoor units, ensuring comfortable temperatures in every room during warmer months. Mechanical ventilation maintains good air quality throughout the year.
The total living area measures 205 square meters, with an additional 6 square meters of indoor utility space and 1 square meter of attached outdoor space. External storage totals 42 square meters in the freestanding shed. The building volume is 735 cubic meters, providing a substantial and well-proportioned living environment.
The property consists of two separate cadastral parcels, both fully owned. Parcel OPHEUSDEN C 3837 measures 680 square meters and parcel OPHEUSDEN C 4381 measures 412 square meters, together forming the complete 1,092 square meter plot.
The location of this villa completes its appeal. Situated on the edge of Opheusden, the property enjoys a quiet and child-friendly environment while maintaining convenient access to essential amenities. Schools, shops, and sports facilities are all within easy reach. The major roads provide good connections to surrounding towns and cities.
For nature lovers and families, the surrounding area offers excellent recreational opportunities. The Neder-Rijn river is nearby, as is the nature reserve De Blauwe Kamer, which provides walking and cycling paths through beautiful landscapes. Ouwehands Dierenpark, a well-known zoo, is also located at a short distance, making it an easy family outing.
The property is available for purchase at an asking price of 835,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,073 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is to be negotiated, and the property is currently available.
This villa at Jasmijnstraat 32 represents a rare combination of sustainable living, luxurious amenities, and generous space. The heated pool, extensive solar panel installation, modern heat pump, and well-insulated construction make this property future-ready while the spacious layout and beautiful garden provide an excellent quality of life for its future owners.
