Key Features
Description
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 dates back to 1785 and holds cultural-historical value, having been built on square poles. With approximately 368 square meters of living space spread across three levels, this residence offers seven rooms in total, including five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The grounds feature fruit trees in the front, back, and side gardens, creating a lush environment throughout the seasons. Significant recent improvements include a completely renewed thatched roof across all four sides completed in 2024, a new central heating system installed in 2022, and exterior repainting. 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 premium bathroom includes a bathtub, a Sunshower with infrared sauna, and a tanning bed. 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 property includes three bathrooms and a fourth separate toilet in total. Bathroom facilities include three showers, three toilets, two sinks, one double sink, and a bathtub. 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.
Located between De Weere and Gouwe, this small hamlet consists of only six residences along a dead-end road. The silence area designation means no Schiphol flight paths pass overhead, ensuring exceptional peace and quiet. Despite its rural setting, the property is within easy reach of the well known garden center De Boet and supermarkets in Hoogwoud, combining rural seclusion with practical accessibility.
Cadastral details identify the plot as Municipality Opmeer, Section W, Number 2022, with a total area of approximately 2,635 square meters. The property features a combination of tiled and thatched roof sections. With its authentic character elements preserved alongside modern updates, this stolp farmhouse represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Dutch cultural heritage while enjoying contemporary comforts and versatile living arrangements.
