Spacious Detached Property with Large Barn and 4,700 m² Plot Near the Coast
Key Features
Upsides
- Large plot of 4,700 m² offering extensive possibilities for various uses including keeping animals, gardening, and outdoor activities.
- Impressive barn of 197 m² with new roof, currently configured for horses but highly versatile for commercial, recreational, or residential conversion purposes.
- Separate guest or care accommodation on the property adds flexibility for multigenerational living or hospitality ventures.
- Recent maintenance updates including new CV boiler (2024), exterior painting (2025), and various renewed window frames, along with 24 owned solar panels reducing energy costs.
- Favorable location combining rural tranquillity with proximity to the coast, Schagen town centre, and good road connections to Alkmaar, Den Helder, and Hoorn.
Downsides
- Only one bathroom for a four-bedroom property, which may be insufficient for larger households or frequent guests.
- Solar panels installed in 2012 are over a decade old and may require replacement or significant maintenance in the coming years.
- The asking price per square metre of 6,463 euros is relatively high for a 1965 property, with the value largely attributable to the land and outbuildings rather than the main residence.
- Single-level living is possible but limited to one bedroom on the ground floor, which may not fully meet accessibility needs despite the property being described as accessible.
- The property includes dual occupancy arrangement which may complicate the transition for a buyer seeking exclusive use of the entire premises.
Description
This property is located along a attractive lane with mature trees, situated at a short distance from the coast and the town of Schagen. The former stud farm, originally built in 1965, has been carefully maintained and adapted over the years to meet contemporary living standards. The combination of the main residence, a generous barn measuring 197 square metres, and the surrounding land creates a cohesive property where living, working, hobbies, and animal keeping can seamlessly coexist. With a total plot size of approximately 4,700 square metres and a living area of approximately 147 square metres, this property offers extensive possibilities for those who appreciate outdoor living.
The main residence presents a warm and characterful appearance while maintaining a practical layout. The ground floor features a pleasant living room that benefits from orientation towards both the street side and the garden side. The large windows provide agreeable natural light and pleasant views of the surroundings, while a pellet stove contributes to a comfortable and homely atmosphere. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the residence and serves as a practical space for daily use. Also located on this floor are a bedroom and a bathroom, making the property suitable for single-level living. The ground floor has a concrete floor, while the first floor features a wooden floor, a combination that provides both solidity and warmth.
The first floor accommodates two additional bedrooms and a spacious landing area. This landing offers potential for creating an additional bathroom, workspace, or hobby room according to personal preferences. In total, the property contains four bedrooms spread across two levels.
The maintenance level of the property is commendable. Various window frames have been renewed, the exterior was completely painted in 2025, and the central heating boiler was replaced in 2024. The property benefits from roof insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing, resulting in an energy label C rating. Additionally, 24 solar panels installed in 2012 and fully owned by the current owners make a significant contribution to reduced energy costs.
The yard area offers considerable privacy, usage possibilities, and freedom. Directly adjacent to the main residence stands an impressive barn measuring approximately 21 metres by 9.5 metres, featuring a newly installed roof. The barn is currently arranged with five horse boxes, a saddle room, and a full-length attic spanning the entire building. Given its dimensions and layout, this space lends itself excellently to alternative purposes such as training facilities, yoga or practice rooms, bed and breakfast accommodation, or small-scale commercial activities. The attic provides additional options for storage, workspace, or studio use.
The adjoining land connects directly to the barn, allowing horses to move freely from their boxes to the outdoor area. This arrangement makes the property particularly appealing to horse enthusiasts.
Situated on the property is a separate accommodation that can serve as a care residence for family members requiring support, a guest house, or accommodation for an au pair. This feature adds considerable flexibility for those who wish to combine living, caring, and hosting on the same premises.
The garden has been developed into an attractive outdoor space. Features include atmospheric water elements, a veranda, a dedicated vegetable greenhouse, and pleasant views across the land. The combination of greenery, space, and tranquillity creates a distinct sense of freedom and homecoming in every season.
The location offers additional advantages. Residents live at the edge of nature while all amenities remain within easy reach. The coast is accessible by bicycle, as is secondary education in Schagen. For daily groceries, home delivery services from both Albert Heijn and Jumbo are available. The proximity to main roads ensures excellent accessibility to places such as Alkmaar, Den Helder, and Hoorn.
The property includes an attached stone garage with capacity for four vehicles, equipped with electricity and running water. Parking on the property grounds is also available.
The cadastral registration comprises two parcels: ZIJPE C 1412 measuring 4,270 square metres and ZIJPE C 961 measuring 430 square metres, both in full ownership. The total built volume of the main structure is 1,808 cubic metres.
The current owners have resided at this property for over 34 years, during which they have lived there with considerable enjoyment. The property is offered at a guide price of 950,000 euros, costs to be borne by the purchaser. The asking price per square metre of living space is 6,463 euros.
Connectivity features include fiberglass cable, natural ventilation, and TV cable connections. The property is described as accessible for people with disabilities and accessible for elderly residents. The roof type is a gable roof. The property status is currently available, with acceptance terms to be discussed.
This property represents a distinctive opportunity for those seeking a home with character, space, possibilities, and a rare sense of freedom. The combination of living quarters, substantial outbuildings, separate accommodation, and extensive land creates a property that accommodates a wide range of lifestyles and pursuits.
