Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating achieved through comprehensive sustainability upgrades including solar panels, hybrid heat pump, and excellent insulation throughout the property.
- The basement level functions as a fully independent living space with its own entrance, daylight, and sanitary facilities, enabling multigenerational living or rental income potential.

Downsides
- The price per square meter of 4,015 euros is relatively high for a 1975 constructed property in the Hellendoorn area, which may present challenges for resale.
- The rural location adjacent to a nature reserve, while offering privacy and natural beauty, may require longer commute times to major employment centers and urban amenities.
- With six bedrooms but only four bathrooms and two separate toilets, the bathroom to bedroom ratio may be considered insufficient for some buyers at this price point.
- The 1975 construction date, even with modernization, means the property does not benefit from current building standards regarding foundation technology and structural materials.
- The unique and highly specific architectural features such as the music room and skybridge may appeal to a narrower market of buyers, potentially affecting resale timeline.
Description
This detached villa is situated on a distinctive plot located at the edge of the built environment, directly bordering the Sallandse Heuvelrug nature reserve. The property was constructed in late 1975 under architectural supervision, utilizing exclusively high quality materials throughout. The entire structure is maintained in excellent condition and has been modernized progressively over the years. Additionally, the property has been substantially upgraded for sustainability, achieving an energy label A rating.
The main living areas are oriented toward the garden side of the property. The living room benefits from this garden orientation, as does the adjacent eat in kitchen. The layout includes a designated play area and a separate television corner, providing flexible use of the ground floor spaces. The exact configuration of these rooms allows for various furniture arrangements and lifestyle preferences.
A particularly notable feature of this property is the music room, which has been designed with exceptional acoustic properties. This room has hosted numerous home concerts over the years. Due to its volume and natural light intake, the music room offers alternative uses such as a home office or practice space for professional purposes. The versatility of this room adds significant functional value to the property.
The property contains a total of six bedrooms and four bathrooms distributed across the living floors. The bathroom facilities include two showers, a bathtub, and toilet facilities. Additionally, there are two separate toilets located elsewhere in the home. The wellness amenities include a sauna, a steam cabin, and a whirlpool, creating a comprehensive home spa environment.
An architectural highlight is the skybridge or gallery level that provides an overview of the interior spaces below. This elevated walkway features two sets of French doors that open onto a spacious roof terrace. The terrace offers maximum privacy and unobstructed views of the adjacent forest area, making it an exceptional outdoor living space elevated above the surrounding landscape.
The basement level of the property has been developed to function as an independent living space. This lower level includes its own entrance, natural daylight through windows, and sanitary facilities. The presence of these amenities makes the basement suitable for various arrangements including multigenerational living, accommodation for staff, or rental as a separate apartment unit. This flexibility significantly expands the potential uses of the property.
Parking facilities are extensive. The property includes an internal double garage that provides secure covered parking for two vehicles. In addition, a carport structure offers covered parking for at least four additional vehicles. This total capacity of six covered parking spaces makes the property particularly suitable for automotive enthusiasts or households with multiple vehicles.
The outdoor space consists of a park like garden that surrounds the entire property. The total plot measures 2,248 square meters, providing ample space for landscaping, recreation, and privacy. The garden design takes advantage of the bordering forest area to create a seamless transition between the cultivated garden and the natural landscape of the Sallandse Heuvelrug.
The sustainability features of the property contribute to its energy label A classification. These features include comprehensive insulation throughout the roof and walls, double glazing on all windows, solar panels for electricity generation, an air conditioning unit for climate control, and a hybrid heat pump system for heating. The combination of these systems results in reduced energy consumption and lower ongoing utility costs.
The property is located in the municipality of Hellendoorn, in the province of Overijssel. The cadastral designation is HELLENDOORN G 4852, with full freehold ownership. The location at the edge of the Sallandse Heuvelrug provides immediate access to extensive hiking and cycling routes through one of the notable nature reserves in the eastern Netherlands. The forest edge location also ensures a high degree of privacy and a natural buffer from neighboring properties.
The total living area measures 472 square meters, with an additional 65 square meters of other indoor space. The total volume of the main residence is 1,830 cubic meters, with the carport adding another 161 cubic meters. The property spans two main living levels above ground plus the basement level. In total there are fourteen rooms including the six bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The asking price is set at 1,895,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,015 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for occupation by mutual agreement regarding the transfer date. The listing indicates the property is currently available and the seller is inviting serious interested parties to schedule a viewing to fully experience the unique qualities of this home.
The construction date of 1975 places this property in the era of modernist Dutch architecture, and the listing confirms it was designed under architectural supervision. This architectural heritage is evident in the spatial planning, the attention to light and volume in the music room, and the integration of the skybridge and roof terrace as connecting elements between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
