Historic farmhouse with two luxury guest accommodations in Tuitjenhorn

The property is located at Kalverdijkerlaantje 6 in Tuitjenhorn, in the Centrum en Kerkbuurt area. This characteristic residential farmhouse dates back to 1888 and is situated on a generous plot of 2,960 m². The asking price is €1,375,000 costs to buyer.

The farmhouse is located on the small-scale Kalverdijkerlaantje, tucked away on the edge of Tuitjenhorn. Residents here enjoy a rural lifestyle with the open polder landscape literally around the corner, while daily amenities, schools, and access roads are surprisingly close. Peace and space go hand in hand with comfort and accessibility here. The property is situated on a quiet road with a sheltered position and unobstructed views. The rear garden faces west and offers views over the Roockershuyspark, allowing for evening sun enjoyment. The plot borders water, making it possible to take a canoe or sloop for a trip through and around Tuitjenhorn.

Tuitjenhorn is a lively and close-knit village with a complete range of amenities including shops for daily groceries, primary schools, sports clubs, and various hospitality establishments. Schagen and Alkmaar are quickly accessible and offer a wide range of shops, schools, and cultural facilities. The North Holland coast is also at a comfortable distance, making a day at the beach or an evening walk along the shore always within reach. Cities such as Hoorn and Amsterdam are also easily accessible via the main roads.

The farmhouse breathes history. The original vierkant (the square central section typical of traditional Dutch farmhouses), the visible wooden beams, and the warm, timeless appearance tell the story of the past. At the same time, the farmhouse was professionally and completely renovated and well-insulated between 2003 and 2014, while retaining its authentic character. In recent years, the current owners have renewed the roof and made the farmhouse more sustainable with 27 solar panels.

You enter the farmhouse via the side entrance and arrive in a spacious hall. From here you have access to the toilet, the dars (traditional side entrance passage), and the living room. The living room is spacious and open in design, characterized by a warm, authentic atmosphere. The wooden floor, originating from a 17th-century canal house, and the beautiful wooden staircase with open gallery give the space immediate character. Thanks to the many windows, you enjoy pleasant light and a beautiful connection to the outside.

The kitchen combines a rural appearance with modern comfort. The old brick floor tiles, the traditional tile work, and the rural furnishings create atmosphere, while you have contemporary amenities such as a dishwasher, Quooker instant boiling water tap, Falcon oven, and a 4-burner gas stove with wok burner. French doors connect the kitchen directly to the garden. During the renovation of 2003-2014, the house was fully insulated and provided with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, including the utility room and the dars.

In the heart of the house, the vierkant, you will find the striking staircase to the first floor. Here, the impressive gallery immediately draws attention: the height, the visible wooden rafters, and the view up to the ridge create a spatial and light feeling. From the landing, you have access to five rooms, each with its own character and pleasant light.

The total living area is 358 m², of which the dars accounts for 22 m². The volume of the farmhouse is 1,329 m³.

On the farmyard there are two luxury guest accommodations, executed as characteristic stolp buildings (traditional pyramid-roofed farm buildings). Both were created with great attention and craftsmanship. The first stolp, named Thuysje, was built in 2019. In 2022, the second stolp, Veldzicht, followed.

Both stolps feature a luxury bathroom, a functional kitchen, a cozy dining area, and a comfortable sitting area with free views over the surrounding greenery. A pellet stove provides extra atmosphere and pleasant warmth. On the first floor of both stolps there is a bedroom. The stolps each have their own entrance and their own separate terrace and garden, and offer various usage possibilities, such as guest accommodation, Bed and Breakfast, office, salon, or family care.

The living area of Stolpje Veldzicht is 37 m², and that of Stolpje Thuysje is 41 m².

The farmhouse stands on a spacious and green plot that is completely surrounded by lush planting in the summer months. Characteristic old fruit trees provide their own harvest, and chickens quietly roam between the greenery. Each season offers a different view here, from blossom and full orchards to quiet winter vistas.

At the front of the property there are three parking spaces. In addition, there is access to the attached dars via double doors. This space is equipped with electricity and water and offers practical possibilities as well as direct access to the house. The dars can accommodate one car and features an attic, electricity, heating, and running water. It is fully insulated and has double glazing.

There is also a detached wooden storage shed with electricity that is not insulated.

The comprehensive renovation that took place between 2003 and 2014 transformed this historic farmhouse into a comfortable modern home while carefully preserving its heritage character. During this period, the entire property was insulated to current standards, which is particularly noteworthy for a building of this age and construction type. The installation of underfloor heating throughout the ground floor added a modern comfort level that complements the traditional aesthetic. The recent roof replacement by the current owners demonstrates ongoing maintenance and care for the property.

The thatched roof is a distinctive feature that contributes significantly to the rural and authentic appearance of the farmhouse. The combination of the thatched roof with the traditional farmhouse structure creates a cohesive and historically appropriate exterior appearance.

The presence of 27 solar panels represents a significant investment in sustainability and helps offset energy costs. Together with the good insulation and the modern central heating boiler installed in 2024, these features indicate that the property has been brought up to reasonable contemporary standards regarding energy efficiency.

The two guest accommodations represent a significant addition to the property. Built in 2019 and 2022 respectively, they are relatively new constructions that benefit from modern building standards. Their design as traditional stolp buildings harmonizes with the main farmhouse, creating a cohesive farmyard appearance. The inclusion of pellet stoves in both units adds to the ambiance while providing efficient supplementary heating. The separate entrances, terraces, and garden areas for each unit ensure privacy for guests or other users, making them suitable for various commercial or personal applications.

The kitchen equipment is notably high-quality, with the Falcon oven being a premium brand associated with professional and serious home cooking. The Quooker instant boiling water tap is a modern convenience that has become increasingly popular in upscale Dutch kitchens.

The wooden floor from a 17th-century canal house is an interesting historical element that adds character and story to the living room. The open gallery in the central vierkant area creates a dramatic spatial effect that showcases the traditional farmhouse construction with its exposed wooden beams and high ceiling reaching to the ridge.

The property is offered costs to buyer, which means that the buyer is responsible for transfer tax, notary fees for the deed of transfer and mortgage, and any other transaction-related costs.
