The property benefits from a prime position alongside a decorative water feature, providing residents with unobstructed views across the surrounding countryside and farmland that stretch to the horizon.
The ground floor of this well maintained home welcomes visitors with a light tiled floor that creates a fresh and timeless atmosphere throughout the living spaces. The hallway provides access to the main living areas and sets the tone for the quality finish found throughout the property. The living room is a particular highlight, featuring large windows that allow natural light to flood the space while framing the spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. From the seating area, occupants can enjoy a constantly changing panorama as the seasons transform the fields and waterways outside.

A significant feature of this property is the bedroom located on the ground floor. This room adds considerable flexibility to the home, making it suitable for those who prefer single level living or require accessibility. The room could alternatively serve as a home office, practice space, or guest room depending on the needs of the occupants.
The first floor accommodates three additional bedrooms, all of which are spacious and bright. These rooms offer versatility for family living, with options for children's bedrooms, guest accommodation, or dedicated workspace for those who work from home. The landing on this floor is enhanced by a void that connects visually with the ground floor below, creating an enhanced sense of space and airiness throughout the home.
Above the first floor, the attic provides valuable additional storage space. This area is ideal for organizing seasonal items, archival materials, and other possessions that need to be kept accessible but out of daily view.
The exterior of the property is equally impressive. The home sits on a generous plot of 780 square meters, featuring a beautifully maintained garden that wraps around the entire property. Mature planting and established greenery create a natural and peaceful outdoor environment that complements the rural setting. The garden orientation takes full advantage of the water frontage and open views.
Practical outdoor amenities include a spacious gravel driveway that provides parking for multiple vehicles on the property. Additionally, there is a detached stone garage with an adjacent carport, offering covered parking for two cars in total. The garage includes electrical connections and provides excellent space for storage, hobbies, or workshop activities.
The property achieves an A energy label, reflecting its efficient thermal performance. Insulation is comprehensive, covering the roof, walls, floor, and featuring double glazing throughout. Ten solar panels contribute to reduced energy costs. Heating is provided by a Bosch gas combination boiler from 2006, supplemented by partial underfloor heating for additional comfort.
Built in 1995, the property features a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 131 square meters, with an additional 11 square meters of internal storage space and 72 square meters of external storage including the garage. The total volume of the property is 520 cubic meters.
The location offers an excellent balance between rural living and urban accessibility. Despite the peaceful countryside setting, major employment and transport hubs are readily reachable. The Amsterdam Zuidas business district is approximately 25 minutes away by car, while Amsterdam city center and Utrecht center are both around 30 minutes. Schiphol Airport is reachable in about 30 minutes, and Amstelveen city center in 20 minutes. The nearest train station at Breukelen is just 15 minutes away, providing direct rail connections to major cities.

The standard NVM purchase contract will include clauses regarding NEN2580 measurement standards and an age clause, which is standard for properties of this construction period. A deposit or bank guarantee of at least ten percent of the purchase price will be required.
