Key Features
Description
Situated at Noordpolderweg 2 in Muiden, this exclusive country villa offers a unique combination of luxury living and rural tranquillity. Built in 2008, the property consists of a spacious main residence and a large multi-purpose building, providing a total of almost 650 square metres of living space. The location is particularly notable for its historic views of Muiderslot Castle, placing the home within a landscape rich in history and culture. The main villa itself covers 314 square metres and was constructed under architectural supervision, featuring a high-quality finish with sustainable materials and custom-made details. The ground floor layout is spacious and open, designed without doors to create a sense of light and freedom throughout the living areas. Modern amenities are integrated throughout the home to ensure maximum comfort, including underfloor heating and cooling systems.
The accommodation within the villa is designed to cater to a luxurious lifestyle. The master bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, which is discreetly concealed within bespoke solid Wengé wood wardrobes. This room features a luxurious en-suite bathroom fitted with twin rain showers, a bathtub, and a toilet. Two additional bedrooms, currently utilized as children's rooms, share a private bathroom. In total, the property offers eight bedrooms across its various floors. A significant feature of the home is the large basement level. This lower level has been transformed into a luxurious wellness area, providing residents with facilities for relaxation and health. It includes an infrared sauna, a Turkish steam bath, a gym, and a wine cellar. This space allows for entertainment and leisure without the need to leave the property.
Surrounding the villa is a 100 square metre sun terrace facing south and south-west. This outdoor space is partially covered and fitted with heaters, making it a comfortable area to enjoy during various seasons. The property extends beyond the main house to include a substantial outbuilding measuring over 330 square metres. This building is currently in use as a stable but holds residential planning permission, offering significant flexibility for future owners. The stable facilities are of a high standard, accommodating twelve luxury horse boxes. It includes a large veranda which is also equipped with heaters. The grounds are perfectly laid out for equestrian activities, featuring a large paddock, a lunging ring, and an Olympic-standard riding arena measuring 60 by 20 metres. The arena boasts an Agterberg surface, which is a premium equestrian footing. The stables are currently rented out, providing an existing income stream that a buyer could choose to take over or terminate prior to completion.
The plot associated with Noordpolderweg 2 is expansive, covering almost 3 hectares or 29,486 square metres. The land is diverse, comprising both agricultural grassland and a beautifully maintained private garden. A large orchard with various fruit trees adds to the charm of the grounds. Maintenance of the land and garden is currently outsourced by the owners, a convenience that could be continued by the new residents. Irrigation of the land is straightforward thanks to a private well located on the property. Security is a comprehensive consideration here, with the entire grounds and house protected by an extensive camera and alarm installation as well as outdoor lighting. Within the garden, beneath the illuminated plane trees, a private Petanque court has been laid out, offering a specific recreational activity.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are key aspects of the property's design. The villa holds an A+++ energy rating. Energy usage is managed intelligently through the installation of a heat pump, underfloor heating, underfloor cooling, and solar panels with a total peak capacity of 10 kilowatts. Gas usage is minimal and restricted to a separate propane tank, which is used solely for cooking, hot water, and one of the cosy fireplaces found in the home. The combination of these features ensures that the property maintains a high level of comfort while adhering to modern standards of sustainability.
The location of the property in the historic Noordpolder adds a layer of depth to its appeal. The polder itself was reclaimed in the 13th century and has since developed into the varied landscape seen today. It is a serene and green area that offers peace and space, yet it remains strategically close to major urban centres. The town of Muiden is nearby, situated on the IJmeer and the River Vecht. It is a picturesque town with a rich history and many modern amenities. The iconic Muiderslot offers a historical connection to the Middle Ages of Floris V and the Golden Age of PC Hooft. Muiden features charming streets, cosy terraces by the harbour, cafes, and restaurants. For daily needs, there are local supermarkets and shops in the town centre, along with pharmacies, medical practices, and schools.
For those interested in an active lifestyle, the area provides various marinas, sailing schools, and sports facilities. Residents can enjoy tennis, padel, football, and hockey nearby. Despite the rural and peaceful feeling of the Noordpolder, connectivity is excellent. The centre of Amsterdam is just a twenty minute drive away, and Schiphol Airport can be reached in twenty five minutes. This makes the property an ideal base for those who work in the city but wish to live in a countryside environment. The property includes over ten parking spaces on the private terrain, adding to the convenience for residents and their guests.
Noordpolderweg 2 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial private estate. With its flexible outbuilding, high-quality equestrian facilities, and luxurious main residence, it caters to a wide range of potential uses, from a private family home to a small-scale hospitality business. The thoughtful integration of modern technology with traditional building materials and the extensive grounds make this a distinctive offering in the Muiden real estate market.
