Exclusive Design Villa with Natural Swimming Pool in Laren

Molendijk 9 is situated in the village of Laren, located in the province of Gelderland, within the area known as Verspreide huizen Groot Dochteren. This exclusive design villa was constructed in 2014 according to plans by Maas Architecten and stands on a substantial plot measuring approximately 22,385 square meters, which equates to roughly 2 hectares of land. The property is being offered at a price of 2,450,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer.

The architectural design of this villa is characterized by a prominent use of glass throughout the structure. The exterior features an anthracite-colored zinc finish applied to the sidewalls and roof, creating a minimalist aesthetic that blends naturally with the surrounding rural landscape. The extensive glazing reflects the natural scenery and from the interior, the visual boundaries between inside and outside become almost imperceptible, creating a sense of full integration with the outdoors.

The property has been designed with sustainability and future-readiness in mind. The roof partially houses solar panels and solar collectors. The underfloor heating and cooling system is primarily powered by an advanced heat pump. These technological features are complemented by a state of the art domotics system that controls lighting, sun blinds, home audio, and the alarm system.

Access to the property is via a private road leading to the centrally elevated villa. The driveway continues past the main entrance to a spacious garage at the rear of the house, which can accommodate multiple vehicles. Additional parking is available alongside and in front of the entrance, sheltered beneath the continuous roof overhang.

Upon entering the residence, visitors are welcomed by an impressive hall with sightlines through to various parts of the house. Acoustic ceilings and variations in floor levels enhance the spatial experience, while the consistent use of glass reinforces the connection between interior and exterior spaces.

The contemporary open kitchen is positioned to offer views from both the kitchen island and the generous seating area, which features an atmospheric fireplace. The outlook from these spaces extends across the green lawn to the expansive meadows of the rural Eastern Gelderland landscape. Terraces are situated on both sides of the kitchen, allowing for optimal outdoor comfort regardless of weather conditions or wind direction.

A staircase from the open hall leads to the first floor, where one finds a spacious void, extensive storage space that can also serve as a room, an office, and a hobby area.

On the ground floor, the hall connects to an extra-wide and high passage, again surrounded by glass. Oriented towards the south, a sliding door provides access to a spacious veranda with a wood-burning fireplace and an impressive view across an open terrace, picturesque grass and woodland areas, and a large water feature that includes a natural swimming pool designed in biotope style. A poolhouse with a partially covered terrace is also present, and a fireplace is centrally placed in an area with white sand.

This glass-lined passage leads to a stylish living room situated at a slightly higher level, adjacent to a private office and subsequently the master bedroom with walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom. The living room benefits from abundant glazing offering views to both the south and west sides of the grounds, complemented by wide wooden floorboards and a gas fireplace.

From the passage, a staircase descends to a remarkable basement level, which has direct sightlines and access to a terrace on the western side. Along the full width of the glass-covered exterior, three luxurious bedrooms are positioned, each with French doors opening outward. Within this level are also a laundry room, a luxurious bathroom, a toilet facility, a walk-in closet, and a technical room.

The property totals approximately 353 square meters of living space, with an additional 148 square meters of other indoor space and 465 square meters of attached outdoor space. The building has a volume of approximately 1,856 cubic meters.

Energy efficiency is rated with an A label. Insulation includes high-performance glazing and full insulation throughout. Heating is provided through a combination of gas fireplace, open fireplace, full underfloor heating, and heat pump. Hot water comes from geothermal sources, a flow-through boiler, solar boiler, and solar collectors.

The property features a garage that combines carport and indoor parking with capacity for four vehicles. The garage is equipped with an electric door, electricity, heating, and running water, and is fully insulated.

The grounds extend to 22,385 square meters and consist of three separate parcels registered in the land registry under Lochem sections AB 30, AB 31, and AB 32, all in full ownership. The garden surrounds the property and benefits from a rural location outside the built-up area, in a wooded environment with open views. An irrigation installation is present on the property.

The village of Laren is located close to the municipality of Lochem. The neighboring village of Gorssel is also easily accessible. The cities of Zutphen and Deventer are approximately a 20-minute drive away. The A1 motorway connection is situated at a distance of 7.5 kilometers, with Amsterdam reachable in about an hour by car.

The property is available for transfer by mutual agreement and is currently listed as available on the market.
