Rural semi-detached farmhouse with stunning polder views and generous outdoor space
Key Features
Description
This recently split semi-detached farmhouse is located at the Kruisdijk in the Hoeksche Waard region, offering approximately 165 m² of living space on a plot of roughly 567 m² of freehold land. The property was originally built in 1954 and has been carefully maintained over the years, with notable improvements including new gutters installed in 2024 and exterior painting carried out in 2025. Most window frames are made of durable plastic and the majority of glazing consists of HR or HR+ double glazing.
The house is entered via the front, where a comfortable front room with a built-in kitchen awaits. This kitchen was installed in 2022 and provides a modern cooking and preparation space. Adjacent to the front room is the main living room, creating a natural flow between the two areas. From the entrance hall, which includes a fixed storage cupboard, you reach the utility room. This utility space houses a washer tower that was installed in 2023 and also provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor.
The rear of the property holds what may well be the finest space in the house: a generously proportioned kitchen with an adjoining dining room. Both rooms feature patio doors that open onto a spacious terrace facing west. From this terrace and from the dining room, residents enjoy sweeping, unobstructed views across the open polder landscape. The orientation toward the west means this outdoor area receives afternoon and evening sun, making it an ideal spot for relaxing or entertaining throughout much of the day.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms. Two of these are notably spacious and both benefit from beautiful views over the surrounding farmland. One of the bedrooms has the added feature of a balcony. The floor also contains a complete bathroom equipped with a bathtub, a separate shower and a double vanity unit. There is a separate toilet on the landing.
Outdoor space is one of the defining features of this property. In addition to the private plot of 567 m², the property includes two large barns or sheds with a combined floor area of approximately 70 m², providing ample storage or workshop potential. Furthermore, an adjacent grassland of approximately 700 m² is available to rent from the water board for a modest annual fee of around €100. This combination of private land and rentable grassland makes the property especially well suited to those who appreciate open space, keep animals, or simply value the freedom of rural living.
Energy performance is supported by a 14-panel solar installation placed in 2024, with each panel rated at 435 Wp. The property is equipped with air conditioning units that serve both for cooling during warmer months and for supplemental heating. Infrared heating panels are also installed in some areas. Two Nefit HR boilers, dating from 2009 and 2019 respectively, handle the primary heating requirements. The property carries an energy label C. Several windows are fitted with shutters for additional privacy and insulation.
The location is described as offering a rural lifestyle without the drawback of complete isolation. The Hoeksche Waard is known for its expansive, flat polder landscapes and its relative proximity to larger towns and cities, meaning that urban amenities remain accessible while daily life is set against a backdrop of open countryside and far-reaching horizons. The combination of the residential building, the usable barns, the private garden and the rented grassland creates a property that is rare in the current market, appealing to buyers who prioritize space, outdoor living and a genuine sense of freedom over conventional urban housing.
The asking price is €550,000, translating to approximately €3,333 per m² of living space, and is offered excluding transfer taxes. The property is registered in the land registry under Strijen V 1289, with freehold ownership of the 567 m² plot.
