Spacious Country House with Wellness Pavilion and Free Views in Rural Maarheeze
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers a very large living area of 407 square meters with 19 rooms total, providing exceptional space for a large family or those requiring home office facilities.
- The 2,280 square meter plot includes a separate wellness pavilion and offers unobstructed views of the surrounding heathland and forest, creating a private and scenic outdoor environment.
- The 30 solar panels contribute to reduced energy costs and improved sustainability, complementing the full insulation, double glazing, and HR-glass throughout the property.
- The location provides an excellent balance between rural tranquility and urban accessibility, with the A2 motorway just 2 kilometers away and Eindhoven city center only 14 kilometers distant.
- The recently renovated luxury kitchen features high-end appliances including a Quooker tap and Bora extraction system, representing a modern and functional cooking space.
Downsides
- The central heating boiler (Nefit Ecomline) dates from 1999, which is relatively old and may require replacement in the near future.
- The energy label is rated B rather than A or higher, suggesting there may be room for improvement in energy efficiency despite the presence of solar panels and insulation.
- The garden orientation is northwest, which means the main outdoor spaces receive less direct sunlight compared to south-facing gardens.
- Despite having 19 rooms, only 5 are designated as bedrooms, which may not meet the expectations of buyers seeking a home with many sleeping quarters.
- The asking price of 1,200,000 euros represents a significant investment, and the property being built in 1991 means some systems and finishes may eventually require updating.
Description
The property is located in Maarheeze, a village in the southern part of the Netherlands, situated in the province of North Brabant. The location offers good connectivity with the A2 motorway between Weert and Eindhoven being just 2 kilometers away. The city of Eindhoven is approximately 14 kilometers from the property, and the train station in Maarheeze is 4.5 kilometers distant. This combination of rural setting with convenient access to urban amenities makes the location particularly attractive for those seeking a peaceful residential environment without sacrificing connectivity.
This detached country house, known as a landhuis in Dutch, was constructed in 1991 and has been well maintained over the years. The property features a shield roof, which is a traditional Dutch roof style characterized by sloping sides on all four sides. The total volume of the building is 1,766 cubic meters, indicating the substantial size of the residence.
The living area measures 407 square meters, which is complemented by 86 square meters of other indoor space and 9 square meters of outdoor attached space. The property sits on a generous plot of 2,280 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for various activities and landscaping possibilities.
Upon approaching the property, visitors are greeted by a double driveway that allows vehicles to circulate completely around the central entrance. This design is particularly practical for those who may operate a business from home, as it provides easy access and maneuverability for multiple vehicles.
The central entrance features double doors that open into a spacious hallway. This entrance area has been designed with attention to creating a calm and spacious atmosphere. The hallway includes an extensive electrical panel, a wardrobe area, and continues with a tile floor equipped with underfloor heating. Wide passages lead from the hallway to the main living areas.
The living room spans 64 square meters and includes a comfortable seating area centered around a modern design fireplace. The room features tall, modern windows that are arranged in a rhythmic pattern, allowing natural light to enter while providing views of the surroundings.
Adjacent to the living room is the recently renovated luxury kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances, including a Quooker instant hot water tap and a Bora extraction system integrated into the cooking island. The kitchen island is a prominent feature of this space. From the kitchen, a garden room is accessible through sliding doors, featuring extensive glazing with full-width sliding panels.
The kitchen area also provides access to a utility room that contains an additional kitchen unit, a built-in shower, and various built-in storage cabinets. This secondary kitchen and shower facility adds versatility to the ground floor layout.
The hallway area includes a guest toilet and a separate toilet room, providing convenience for both residents and visitors. Behind the main entrance doors, there is an additional hallway that leads to a double workroom or office space that could also serve as a fitness area. This space includes a small kitchenette and provides access to the indoor garage through an automatic extra-wide rolling door. Behind the garage is a spacious storage area with a rear door and an ascending staircase.
The staircase to the upper floor is carpeted and described as being quiet to use. The upper level continues the theme of spaciousness found throughout the property. A long hallway provides access to multiple bedrooms and various technical rooms. There is a separate luxury toilet on this floor.
The main bathroom on the upper floor is complete with a separate shower, a large double bathtub, and a double sink combination. The bathroom provides access to the master bedroom and has a door leading to a balcony at the rear of the property that offers views over the surrounding countryside.
The master bedroom itself has access to the same balcony, features an additional dormer window, and connects to a complete walk-in closet room. The remaining bedrooms on this floor are substantial in size, measuring 5 by 9 meters, 5 by 6 meters, 3.80 by 4.70 meters, and 4.70 by 4.30 meters respectively.
At the end of the upper hallway, a door provides access to an attic storage space measuring 9 by 5.50 meters, offering considerable storage capacity.
The upper floor also has various sliding doors and regular doors that provide access to a wide, raised terrace at the rear of the property. This terrace connects to various paths, plantings, and attractive borders that lead to a separate garden pavilion located at the back of the property. This pavilion includes wellness facilities, providing a private space for relaxation while enjoying the unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.
The outdoor space is described as being situated in a wooded environment with a rural character and free views. The garden surrounds the property and includes a sunny terrace. A specific section of the garden measuring 307 square meters is noted, with dimensions of 16 meters in depth and 19.24 meters in width. The garden is oriented toward the northwest and is accessible via a rear path.
The property includes an indoor garage with capacity for two vehicles, and parking is available on the property's own grounds. A carport provides additional covered parking space.
The property is equipped with 30 solar panels, contributing to energy efficiency and potentially reducing electricity costs. The energy label is rated as B, which indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. The property features double glazing, HR-glass (high-efficiency glass), and is described as being fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided by a CV-ketel (central heating boiler), specifically a Nefit Ecomline model from 1999.
Additional features of the property include an alarm system, outdoor sun blinds, mechanical ventilation, and roller shutters. These features contribute to both security and comfort.
The property is being offered at an asking price of 1,200,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer in addition to any applicable transfer taxes and notary fees (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 2,948 euros per square meter of living space.
The cadastal designation for the property is MAARHEEZE F 344, with the plot area recorded as 2,280 square meters in the land registry.
The total number of rooms is listed as 19, of which 5 are designated as bedrooms. The property has two residential floors. The configuration of rooms suggests that many of the 19 spaces serve as workrooms, offices, or multipurpose areas in addition to the primary living spaces and bedrooms.
This represents a substantial family residence or could serve as a home with integrated office space, given the layout and access arrangements. The combination of size, location, and features positions this property in the upper segment of the local residential market.
