Located in the Noordplas section of the Vinkeveense Plassen, this recreational island offers a unique opportunity to own a private piece of waterfront real estate in one of the most popular water sports areas in the Netherlands. The island, known as a legakker, is situated between two wide navigable waterways and provides expansive views across the water.
The island itself measures approximately 260 square meters with dimensions of roughly 26 by 10 meters. The total plot area including both land and water comes to 1,100 square meters. This generous space allows for various recreational activities and provides a true holiday feeling right at your doorstep.
The island comes equipped with a wooden storage building that can be used to store recreational equipment such as paddle boards, small boats, or other water sports gear. A wooden deck terrace is attached to the storage building, providing a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The sheet piling around the island, known as beschoeiing in Dutch, is reported to be in good condition, which is important for the long term maintenance of the island's edges.
Electricity is available on the island, making it possible to use electrical equipment and lighting. The island features a large lawn area that adds to the pleasant atmosphere and provides open space for relaxation or activities.
Access to the island is exclusively by boat. The nearest marina is Jachthaven Oldenburger, located at the Baambrugse Zuwe. From there, boat owners can easily reach their private island. The Vinkeveense Plassen consist of three large interconnected lakes and are renowned as a premier water sports destination in the Netherlands. The water here is known to be among the cleanest in the country, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities.
The area offers numerous recreational facilities both on and along the water. Visitors and residents can enjoy swimming, sailing, diving, water skiing on the designated water ski course, windsurfing, and subaqua diving. Several marinas are located around the lakes, offering mooring places, boat and water sports rental, water and electricity supply, shower facilities, and restaurants.
The surrounding area contributes to the appeal of this location. The historic center of Vinkeveen with its characteristic old buildings is nearby. The village of Vinkeveen provides essential amenities including a shopping center for daily groceries, various primary schools, and sports clubs. The location is strategically positioned between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht, with good access to the A2 highway and the N201 provincial road.
The Vinkeveense Plassen contain both privately owned legakkers like this one and approximately twelve sand islands that are publicly accessible. This combination of private and public spaces creates a varied and vibrant recreational environment.
From the island, residents can observe the water life and passing boats while sitting in a relaxed setting. The view across the water is described as truly fantastic, offering a constantly changing panorama depending on the time of day and season.
This property represents a particular type of Dutch waterfront real estate that is unique to the peat lake regions of the Netherlands. Legakkers are artificial islands originally created from the peat that was dredged from the lakes in historical times. Today, many of these islands have been repurposed for recreational use, offering a distinctive lifestyle opportunity for water enthusiasts.
The property is offered at a asking price of 90,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer. Transfer is to be arranged by mutual agreement. The property is fully available and the ownership situation is full ownership (volle eigendom) as registered in the land registry under the designation VINKEVEEN A 4656.
