This characteristic, fully habitable stolp farmhouse is situated on a generous 2,635 square meter plot in a peaceful location at the end of a dead-end road.

The property has achieved an energy label C rating. The outer wall on the stable side was insulated in 2023, and nearly all windows feature double glazing, ensuring comfortable living conditions even during winter months.
The ground floor features two living rooms, offering flexible arrangement options. Upon entering, you step into a cozy kitchen equipped with a spacious cellar, built-in cabinets, and a simple farmhouse kitchen. From there, you access a work room or guest room, which leads to the second living room. This space, formerly the old stable, retains original features such as drinking troughs, tiles surrounding the wood stove, and a traditional bedstee (built-in bed). A separate toilet and a complete modern bathroom are situated at opposite ends of this room. The second living room provides access to both the front and back gardens.
The main living room occupies what was once the hay barn, offering views of the meticulously maintained back garden with seasonal flowers. Large dars doors with wooden shutters frame views over the surrounding meadows. This impressive space reaches over 4 meters in height, creating an airy atmosphere. Adjacent to this room are a utility room with washing machine connections and a closed former opkamer housing the electrical and heating systems, both providing additional storage space.
The first floor accommodates two west-facing rooms, one featuring a simple bathroom. The master bedroom faces south and connects to a luxurious bathroom installed in 2024.

This bathroom can also be accessed from the landing with its balustrade, offering flexibility for different living arrangements.
The second floor contains a large, fully paneled and insulated bedroom with a high skylight, easily accommodating a large bed and a complete sitting area. This space is ideal as a private domain for a young adult or guests. Additionally, there is a storage room on this level.
The property offers remarkable versatility. With the addition of an extra kitchen unit, the layout is suitable for double occupancy, making it ideal for multigenerational living. It could also serve as a work from home space with a separate entrance, provide independent living quarters for an older child, or simply offer spacious, peaceful living for a single household.
The outdoor space enhances the property's appeal significantly. The garden surrounds the entire farmhouse and is abundantly planted with fruit trees and fruit bushes, with sunny spots available throughout the day. At the rear of the garden stands a Finnish sauna with a new stove from 2022, offering unobstructed views over the meadows. A large old cooking pear tree stands between the pond and the ditch, while plum trees beyond produce abundant fruit by late summer. The location is so tranquil that bird sounds provide the primary ambient noise.

The home also features a utility room, multiple storage spaces, and parking on the property itself. Additional outdoor buildings provide 20 square meters of external storage space.
