Detached Villa with Panoramic River Views and Independent Living Unit

This detached villa is situated on a prominent location in Millingen aan de Rijn where water, nature and history converge. The property is positioned high on the Rijndijk and offers views over the confluence of the Rhine and Waal rivers. Originally built as a steward's residence, this characteristic villa presents a rare combination of privacy, space and panoramic views. The entire property is set on a fully enclosed plot surrounded by a carefully landscaped garden that complements the quality of the home.

The villa distinguishes itself through its versatile layout spanning four full living levels. This configuration creates a natural separation between living, working and receiving guests. The ground floor level houses a completely independent living or working unit with its own entrance, multiple rooms, a kitchen, sanitary facilities and a private terrace in the garden. This space is highly suitable for accommodating family members, running a home-based practice or receiving guests. It also offers interesting possibilities for short-term high-quality stays.

The main living floor is located at dike level and forms the heart of the residence. From the vestibule, one accesses a spacious office with a fireplace and river views. The adjoining living and dining room together with the open kitchen form one cohesive spatial whole, connected by an atmospheric see-through fireplace. Large windows and French doors create a direct connection to the balcony where the view over water and countryside consistently impresses.

One floor up reveals a particularly notable feature of the home: the fully restored conservatory. This space, surrounded by glass, offers spectacular views of the changing river landscape and serves as an ideal spot for relaxation or contemplation. Adjacent to this is a sheltered roof terrace. This floor also contains three comfortable bedrooms, a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom equipped with a bathtub, shower, double sink and toilet.

The uppermost floor provides additional space in the form of a fourth bedroom with its own shower facility and sink, as well as a multifunctional room that lends itself well to working, hobbies or accommodating guests. This brings the total to six bedrooms across the property.

Over the years, the home has been carefully modernized while preserving authentic details. These include ornamental ceilings, paneled doors and original shutters, combined with contemporary comforts such as renewed window frames with insulating glazing and a high-quality custom kitchen. The roof has recently been completely renewed and insulated. Solar panels, modern installations and home automation systems ensure that living comfort meets current standards. The property features air conditioning, an alarm system, exterior sun blinds, skylights, fiber optic cable, mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation options.

The outdoor area forms a full extension of the living space. The garden was redesigned in 2022 with attention to tranquility and functionality. Clean lines alternate with natural plantings and multiple terraces always offer a spot in sun or shade. The veranda with a wooden beam ceiling is prepared for an outdoor kitchen and wellness facilities, making outdoor living particularly pleasant. On the side of the plot lies a second garden with lawn and a characteristic weeping willow, contributing to the green experience.

Practical aspects have also been well addressed. An electric entrance gate provides access to the grounds with ample parking and a generous garage with workshop and storage space. The garage is equipped with an electric door, electricity, heating and running water. Parking is available on the enclosed and secured terrain.

The location in Millingen aan de Rijn completes the offering. Residents live in the middle of the Gelderse Poort nature reserve with extensive river floodplains, walking and cycling routes and various recreational opportunities in the immediate vicinity. At the same time, amenities and cities such as Nijmegen, Kleve and Beek are within short distance.
