Key Features
Upsides

- Outstanding sustainability features including A++ energy label, 136 owned solar panels, full insulation, HR glazing, floor heating throughout and a heat recovery ventilation system, resulting in very low energy costs.

- Spacious dimensions with 516 square meters of living space on a 1,550 square meter plot, providing ample room for family living, working and entertaining.
Downsides
- The asking price is listed as price on request, which eliminates price transparency for potential buyers and may deter those who prefer to know pricing upfront before scheduling viewings.
- Despite being built in 2009, the property is classified as existing construction rather than new build, which may affect perception and financing options compared to newly built properties.
- The rural village location in Koningsbosch, while offering tranquility, may not appeal to buyers who prefer urban living with immediate access to extensive shopping, cultural venues and nightlife.
- The substantial size and multiple amenities including a swimming pool, home automation, CCTV and climate systems will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance costs and may require specialized knowledge or professional services.
- The multi-unit layout with separate office spaces and an independent apartment may not suit traditional single-family buyers who are simply looking for a straightforward family home without additional complexity.
Description
This impressive detached square farmhouse is located in the village of Koningsbosch and offers an exceptional combination of living space, working facilities and recreational amenities. The property was built in 2009 and features a total living area of 516 square meters situated on a generous plot of 1,550 square meters. The U-shaped design of the residence creates a central courtyard that provides a strong sense of privacy and seclusion from the moment one enters the premises.
The main living area forms the heart of the residence and is characterized by smoothly plastered walls, stylish recessed spotlights, a home automation system and folding patio doors that connect the interior with the outdoor spaces. The color scheme combines warm tones with natural materials to create an inviting atmosphere. The living room has an open connection to the kitchen and dining area, resulting in a cohesive living environment suited for both daily family life and entertaining guests.
The modern half-open kitchen is equipped with a practical wall arrangement and a spacious cooking island. The kitchen includes high-quality built-in appliances such as an induction cooktop, dishwasher, steam oven, combination microwave and refrigerator. Natural light enters through large windows that also provide views of the garden. Adjacent to the main kitchen is a fully equipped utility room with additional appliances, storage space for provisions and ample practical storage options.
The ground floor layout supports single-level living with three, potentially four, spacious bedrooms. The luxurious bathroom on this level features a bathtub, walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. Additionally, there is a generous walk-in closet with connections for laundry appliances. This configuration makes the property particularly suitable for individuals or couples who prefer to avoid stairs in their daily living situation.
A conservatory extends the living space and creates a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors. This room features fully opening folding doors and a cozy stove, allowing it to be enjoyed throughout all seasons while maintaining a connection to the garden.
The outdoor area is designed as a low-maintenance oasis featuring a heated swimming pool with an automatic slat cover, an outdoor shower, a pond area, a spacious lawn, multiple terraces and a covered seating area. These facilities provide various options for relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
One of the distinguishing features of this property is the fully integrated yet separately accessible office section. This area has its own entrance, hallway, toilet, meter cupboard, three spacious office rooms, a kitchenette and storage space. The office section can serve multiple purposes including a home office, medical or professional practice, creative studio or care facility. The design ensures that working from home does not compromise the privacy or comfort of the main living areas.
The first floor is accessible via both an internal staircase and a separate external staircase. On one side of this floor there is a large room with potential for additional sleeping quarters, along with the technical room and a storage attic. On the opposite side is a fully independent apartment with its own entrance, hallway, toilet, luxury kitchen, spacious living and dining area, bathroom and bedroom with sliding door wardrobe. This apartment is suitable for various uses including family care, guest accommodation, bed and breakfast operations or as a separate residential unit.
A detached garage with an electric gate, attic space and toilet facilities provides additional versatility. This space could accommodate classic car enthusiasts, collectors, hobbyists or creative professionals seeking an inspirational workspace.
The property achieves an A++ energy rating thanks to comprehensive insulation, double HR glazing, floor heating throughout, a heat recovery ventilation climate system and 136 solar panels that are included in the purchase. These sustainable features position the property comparably to high-quality new construction despite its 2009 build date.
Additional technical and security features include air conditioning, an alarm system, outdoor sun blinds, CCTV camera system and home automation. The heating system consists of a combination of a CV boiler and electric heating, with the Nefit CV boiler dating from 2009 and being owned by the current proprietor.
The location in Koningsbosch offers a balance between rural tranquility and accessibility. The property is situated near the A2 and A73 motorways, providing convenient connections to Sittard, Brunssum, Heerlen and Roermond. The German border is also within short driving distance. The village itself provides daily amenities including a primary school, general practitioner, pharmacy, shops, restaurants and various community organizations. The surrounding green landscape offers opportunities for walking and cycling.
The cadastral designation is ECHT W 391 with full ownership status. The rear garden measures 638 square meters with dimensions of 22 meters in depth and 29 meters in width, oriented to the northwest and accessible via a rear path. External storage amounts to 160 square meters while additional indoor space totals 56 square meters. The total volume of the buildings is 2,197 cubic meters.
