The middle shed dates from approximately 1972 and measures roughly 22 meters in length by 10 meters in width. This structure features a higher side wall height compared to the other sheds, potentially making it suitable for taller vehicles or equipment. Fully insulated with a clinker floor, this building also includes a small office space. The roof is fitted with ABC corrugated sheets, and access is provided through an overhead door.
The third shed was built around 1970 and has dimensions of approximately 22 meters by 12 meters. The roof is insulated with ABC corrugated sheets, and access is through an overhead door. The floor features traditional clinkers, adding character to this functional space.
Currently, the sheds are being used for caravan storage, which is reportedly in high demand in the area, potentially offering an additional income stream for the new owners.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Prospective buyers should be aware that the property falls under the rural zoning plan of Dronten, which designates it for agricultural use. This means that to reside on the property, the new owners are required to conduct agricultural activities. This could range from traditional farming to more modern interpretations of agricultural enterprise, subject to local regulations and approvals.
The property offers no rights of way to third parties, ensuring complete privacy and exclusive use of all the land and buildings. The main residence and the domain shed were originally constructed in 1965, with various extensions and modernizations carried out over the years to create the comfortable and versatile property that exists today.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The property benefits from fiber optic cable connectivity, ensuring high speed internet access essential for modern living and working. Natural ventilation systems are in place, and the property features a smoke duct. The synthetic window frames with double glazing throughout, combined with roof, wall, and floor insulation, contribute to the energy label C rating and help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year round while managing energy costs.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country estate with multiple outbuildings in a picturesque rural setting. The combination of a comfortable, modernized residence, versatile workspaces, extensive grounds, and stunning views makes this an exceptional offering for those seeking a self sufficient rural lifestyle or a property with significant commercial potential.
The property is being offered at an asking price of €950,000 subject to buyer costs.
