Key Features
Description
The property is located at Doniapark 94 in Langweer, a charming village in the heart of Friesland. This semi-detached home offers a unique opportunity for both permanent and recreational living, thanks to its dual zoning designation.
Situated directly on open navigable water adjacent to the Langweerder Wielen and a beach, the residence boasts magnificent unobstructed views across the waterway. The property benefits from approximately 11 meters of private waterfront, complete with a well-maintained hardwood mooring dock. Access to the main sailing route with standing mast clearance is available through a self-operable bridge directly from the property's own water.
The home has been perfectly maintained by its first owner. During construction, the original owners opted for a ground-floor master bedroom. In 2010, a substantial extension was added to the living room, along with a second bathroom on the upper floor. This renovation resulted in a complete dwelling featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The ground floor layout begins with a hallway housing the meter cupboard and a modernized toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink. Adjacent to this is a tiled bathroom featuring a vanity unit and a bathtub with a glass shower screen. The master bedroom on this level includes built-in closet space.
The living area was extended in 2010 using a solid foundation on concrete piles and includes underfloor heating in the screed layer. The open kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances. Double patio doors lead directly to the hardwood terrace at the water's edge.
The upper floor features a landing with a lowered ceiling and indirect lighting, plus a lockable walk-in closet space. Two functional bedrooms are both fitted with dormer windows complete with screens and lowered ceilings rather than exposed ridge beams. An ingenious built-in closet system has been installed beneath the dormers in both rooms. A light, modern second bathroom on this level includes a skylight, shower, sink, and wall-hung toilet.
The outdoor space includes a well-cared-for garden that is practical to maintain yet offers a pleasant atmosphere. The garden receives sun from early morning until late evening and provides considerable privacy. There is always a spot to be found in either sun or shade. The private mooring dock extends approximately 11 meters.
A stone storage building attached to the house contains connections for laundry appliances, the mechanical ventilation unit, and the central heating installation. Separately, a solidly constructed wooden storage building provides ample space for bicycles, boating equipment, and garden cushions. Parking is available for two vehicles on the property, with a public parking area located directly on the street near the residence.
The property has a living area of 86 square meters and sits on a plot of 220 square meters. The building volume measures 332 cubic meters. Additional space includes 3 square meters of indoor utility space, 2 square meters of attached outdoor space, and 4 square meters of external storage.
The energy performance certificate rates the property at label C. The building features high-efficiency glazing and full insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant Eco Tec Plus gas-fired combination boiler. The property exterior has been treated with Boracol for durable protection against dirt accumulation, and an attractive fascia board has been installed over the concrete edge of the roof and storage building.
An annual homeowners association contribution of approximately 1,000 euros applies to the property.
The dual zoning status of the property warrants particular attention. Properties with both permanent and recreational designation are relatively uncommon and offer owners significant flexibility. This means the current owner has chosen to live here year-round, but future owners could equally well use the property as a holiday home, either for personal enjoyment or for rental purposes through recreational letting channels. The ability to register as a resident at this address provides additional practical benefits for those considering permanent occupation.
The 2010 renovation and extension significantly enhanced the living experience. The decision to use concrete pile foundations for the extension demonstrates attention to structural integrity and long-term durability. The inclusion of underfloor heating in the extension area adds modern comfort to the living space. The combined living room and kitchen area now spans approximately 40 square meters, creating a generous space for daily living and entertaining.
The bathroom configuration is particularly noteworthy. Having two full bathrooms in a property of this size is unusual and adds considerable convenience, especially for families or when hosting guests. The ground-floor bathroom with its bathtub allows the master bedroom to function as a complete suite, while the upper-floor bathroom serves the two additional bedrooms.
Storage provision has been well considered. The attached stone storage building houses essential utilities while also providing space for laundry appliances. The separate wooden storage building offers dedicated space for items that benefit from being kept separate from the living areas, such as bicycles, water sports equipment, and seasonal garden furniture.
The mooring facilities add significant value for water sports enthusiasts. The 11-meter private dock constructed from durable hardwood provides direct water access from the property. The connection to the main sailing route through a self-operable bridge means that boat owners can set off on extended journeys without needing to relocate their vessel to a marina.
Langweer is a picturesque and popular village surrounded by water, meadows, and tranquility. Located on the beautiful Langweerder Wielen lake, it serves as a paradise for water sports enthusiasts including sailing, boating, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming. During summer months, the village comes alive with terraces along the water, a marina, and events such as the traditional Langweerder Merke fair. Outside the tourist season, Langweer remains attractive due to its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful walking and cycling routes, nearby tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, and numerous forests.
The village center with its basic amenities including a supermarket, shops, restaurants, and a primary school is within walking distance. Langweer is centrally positioned relative to Sneek, Joure, and Heerenveen, while Amsterdam can be reached in just over an hour.
The property is accessible for elderly residents. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles. Ventilation is provided through both mechanical and natural systems, and a TV cable connection is available.
