Thatched Villa in Huizen with Direct Access to Gooi Nature Reserve

This detached thatched villa is located at Nieuwe Bussummerweg 184 in Huizen, North Holland, Netherlands. The property is offered at an asking price of 1,375,000 euros (kosten koper). The villa occupies a generous plot of 978 square meters with a living area of 153 square meters. The building was constructed in 1926, giving it a characteristic and authentic appearance typical of the Gooi region.

The property is situated on the border of Naarden-Bussum and Huizen, placing it in the heart of the Gooi area, a region known for its natural landscapes and desirable residential locations. The villa has direct access to the Goois Natuurreservaat (Gooi Nature Reserve) from the rear garden. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Nieuw Bussummerheide, Limitische Heide, and Vliegheide are all within walking distance. Despite the natural surroundings, daily necessities including shops, schools, sports facilities, and public transportation are available in the immediate vicinity. The property also benefits from good connections to major roads leading to Amsterdam and Utrecht.

The thatched roof was completely replaced in 2001 and receives annual maintenance, which is essential for this type of roofing material. The property features double glazing, HR glass (high-efficiency glass), and floor insulation. The current energy label is F, indicating potential for energy efficiency improvements. The heating system consists of a NEFIT HR Trendline HRC30 II combi boiler from 2020. Hot water is provided through the CV boiler and an electric boiler.

The ground floor begins with an entrance that immediately conveys a warm atmosphere. The kitchen is arranged in a U-shape configuration and includes various built-in appliances. Large windows allow natural light to enter and provide views of the rear garden. From the kitchen, one accesses the living room, which features double doors opening onto a foundation-built terrace and the garden. The living room is divided into two seating areas, with a characteristic fireplace as a central feature. The kitchen also provides access to a full-height basement and the staircase to the first floor.

The first floor features an irregularly shaped landing that leads to the bedrooms, laundry room, and bathroom. The main bedroom is spacious with ample closet space, a loggia (covered balcony), and characteristic windows with mullion divisions. The second bedroom at the rear was originally two separate rooms that have been combined, offering additional space and flexibility. A separate laundry room contains connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the central heating boiler. The bathroom includes a whirlpool bathtub, separate shower, double sink, and toilet. Two storage attics are accessible from both the bedroom and the landing.

A detached office building is located at the rear of the garden. This structure has heating and double doors to the outside. The space can function as a home office, hobby room, studio, or exercise area, making the property suitable for those who work from home.

The garden surrounds the property and offers a high degree of privacy. Although oriented to the north, pleasant spots in both sun and shade can be found throughout the day. The garden includes lawn areas, mature plantings, and landscaping that integrates with the surrounding natural environment. Access is via a driveway with an electric gate, which also leads to the office building and provides on-site parking. A gate at the rear of the garden provides direct access to the forest and heathland. The garden has its own water source with an irrigation system.

The property includes an alarm system, natural ventilation, a chimney flue, and TV cable connection. A carport provides covered parking. Additional parking is available on the property and on public roads nearby. The total volume of the building is 672 cubic meters. The property is listed with an age clause (ouderdomsclausule), which is standard for older buildings in the Netherlands and informs buyers that certain elements may not meet current building standards due to the age of the structure.

The asking price per square meter of living space is 8,987 euros. The combination of a character villa, large plot, direct nature access, and home office capability makes this a distinctive property in the local market.
