Originally, this property was built as a traditional farmhouse for a cattle farmer. It includes a recently added stable and an older winter house. The winter house was built transversely with a cross/gable roof. The ground floor is elevated to accommodate the cheese cellar, which also gives the winter house a raised room with views over the Amstel River. The winter house contributes to the stateliness of the farm. Noteworthy is the attached summer house, which allows for a representative entrance. The winter house is characterized by beautiful large windows and authentic masonry. Five imposing lime trees add to the picturesque scene. During the renovation, the original stable was almost entirely rebuilt, including a new foundation and basement. Although the appearance remains intact, a large facade or skylight reveals that the stable no longer serves its original function. The rear facade is modern, made of steel and entirely glass, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. What is hidden on the outside provides a surprising interior for visitors. The balance between preserving the original architectural style and materials and giving a modern look to the interior has been carefully achieved. Sustainable and insulating measures have also been integrated. Notable are the visible brick walls, old floors, beams, and doors that harmoniously coexist with new oak columns and beams. These mark the transition to the more modern and sleek spaces in the stable and basement, maintaining a sense of spaciousness. One of the many charming spaces is the raised room, with a beautiful view over the Amstel River where the light reflects off the water inside. The kitchen-living room is also a delightful space, with large glass facades on two sides that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor areas, both morning and evening.
The basement is spacious, with a free height of approximately 3 meters and an area of approximately 204 m². It not only provides guest accommodation but also a laundry room, workshop, wine storage, and a space that can be furnished as a hobby room according to preference. The wooden house, built with a concrete foundation, masonry plinth, and a wooden structure in the traditional style of a farm barn, has been newly added. The wooden facade with divided windows and pitched roof gives it a historical appearance. Recently, the space has been upgraded, including a kitchen. The sheltered terrace on the south side offers beautiful views over the meadows.

The entrance
The farmhouse boasts a stately and representative main entrance, as well as an easy back entrance. The main entrance is located between the summer house and the winter house of the property. With a bright corridor and hallway, one immediately feels at home here. The corridor features tiled flooring and beautifully oak-paneled doors for the coat closets. The masonry of the side facade is visible and carefully restored. At the front of the summer house is a bright and spacious office or workspace. The entrance is positioned in a way that the office can also be independently accessed from the living area. The hallway is spacious and equipped with a coat closet and a guest toilet. From the hallway, a staircase leads to an attic storage space. The hallway itself is tiled with tiles and features an old fireplace. In the past, this area mostly served as a living kitchen, as evidenced by the existing fireplace. The hallway also provides access to the winter house.

The living area
This section features a raised room overlooking the Amstel River. A very comfortable and spacious living room with two levels and truly stunning views over the Amstel. Here, one can daydream in a chair overlooking the water and meadows. A beautiful oak floor and beamed ceiling create a warm atmosphere. The space is surrounded by windows on three sides. The living room is connected to the ‘deel’. What was once the stable is now the first part of the living and kitchen area. A robust and fully equipped kitchen centrally and welcomingly arranged. This kitchen features concrete countertops with oak fronts. The dining area is positioned so that there is a view of the garden and surrounding meadows on both sides, through two large windows. Sliding doors provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen also provides direct access to the former cheese cellar, a naturally cool storage space for vegetables, fruit, cheese, and wine. The living kitchen transitions into three bedrooms at the rear. This space is spectacularly high and light, with oak columns and trusses setting the tone. The rear part of the stable houses three good children’s rooms, a spacious bathroom “for shared use,” and a study area for the children. In the middle are the stairs to the upper floor and the lower basement level. The basement is impressive. It feels surprisingly high and light, making it not feel like a typical basement. Functionally, it features a spacious laundry room and a hobby or crafting area. At the rear are two bedrooms, both bathed in plenty of natural daylight. One of these rooms is already prepared for an additional bathroom. Additionally, the basement offers a space of up to 60 m², suitable as a media or home cinema, a home gym or yoga studio, or even as a music studio.

Sleeping and bathing
The first floor is remarkable for its open mezzanine and the walkway that creates an exciting interaction and connection with the ground floor. At the rear is the master suite, complete with a walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom. The room features large windows offering unobstructed views of the surrounding grounds and meadows. The second bedroom on this floor is connected to the walkway and is located in the winter house. A cozy room with its own bathroom.

The wooden house
Separate from the farmhouse itself stands a detached building, new and largely constructed of wood. Well-insulated and equipped with its own facilities. It offers additional space that is multifunctional. This building houses a warm and modern living and kitchen area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The former garage is internally connected and now serves as an extra room. This living space is fully equipped and suitable for independent living. The living and kitchen area is also multifunctional and suitable for courses or business meetings. French doors lead to a private terrace that is sheltered and offers beautiful views over the meadows.

A country retreat like this farmhouse is not complete without a beautiful surrounding garden. The garden features a greenhouse, fruit trees, expansive lawns, and various seating areas to enjoy. The old hay barn has been restored and offers a covered outdoor space where one can sit by the fire late into the evening. Additionally, the garden features a hockey or soccer field.

The Hay Barn
Where hay was once stored to feed the cows during the winter, the structure still stands. It has been restored and is fully functional. With new paving and a fire pit, it is a delightful covered outdoor space to sit in the summer or host a garden party.

The Greenhouse
In addition to the vegetable garden, there is also a greenhouse for growing your own produce. This greenhouse provides a sheltered space for vegetables and plants that thrive better in a protected environment.

The Dock
A hardwood dock has been built on the Amstel. This provides space for a boat and is ideal for taking a dip in the Amstel. Swimming and boating on the Amstel are an additional feature of living in this location.
