Welcome to a true gem of a farmhouse nestled in the heart of Texel, near the quaint village of De Cocksdorp. Life in this divine slice of the Netherlands is like a calming embrace of nature, with its picturesque landscapes and wide-open skies. If you've ever dreamed of sprawling fields, endless horizons, and the gentle rhythm of rural life, then this property on Hoofdweg 65 might just be calling your name. As a bustling real estate agent, I'm thrilled—but also a bit swamped—with the number of overseas buyers who are snapping up properties like this one in this enchanting area.
Located on a lush plot of approximately 3,180 square meters, this detached farmhouse offers not only ample living space but the rare opportunity to experience the best of country living. Texel's tranquil vistas and vibrant greenery create a backdrop that’s more like living in a postcard than a reality. The main house has the unique feature of being divisible into two separate living areas, perfect for multi-generational families or those looking for rental income opportunities.
The farmhouse, despite having that classic old-world charm, is in good condition and stands ready for your personal touches. With a total of 7 charming bedrooms and 3 well-appointed bathrooms, you'll find plenty of room for everyone and everything. Let's take a step-by-step walkthrough of what life could be like here, shall we?
Stepping into the left side of the house, you're greeted by a spacious living room—a cozy space where a comforting fireplace crackles away during crisp autumn evenings. The adjoining open kitchen, while simple, is perfectly functional and equipped with built-in appliances that would satisfy any home chef. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a handy storage room, an inviting garden with a sunny terrace, and connections for laundry facilities, keeping things convenient.
For those who value accessibility, the ground floor also features a large bedroom with a neat bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, toilet, urinal, and washbasin. It’s a practical setup for accommodating family and guests alike. As you ascend the staircase to the first floor, you'll find a spacious landing with four bedrooms, each caressed by natural light through the skylights, making waking up here a truly delightful experience. There's also another bathroom on this floor to meet all your needs.
Adventure continues to the second floor, where a large attic awaits. Perhaps it's ready to be transformed into another cozy bedroom or a creative studio space, depending on your desire and imagination.
The right side of the house offers yet another living area, with its own unique charm. There’s a lovely living room with a tiled floor and an abundance of natural light—the kind of place where mornings start with a smile. And see how a spiral staircase whimsically leads to the second floor—it's like living in a storybook! This side also benefits from having its own entrance hall, kitchen, and bathroom.
One can't overlook the international allure of the village of De Cocksdorp. Flourishing with local markets, friendly neighbors, and engaging activities, there’s always something to do. Here you can immerse yourself in the local culture, from cycling through scenic routes to exploring the vivid bird life that populates the nearby nature reserves. In addition, the climate is generally mild—winters here are relatively soft, while summers invite you to confidently extend evenings with long walks or farm-fresh dining under the open sky.
But let's take a pause and appreciate one of the property's highlights—the expansive garden. With several terraces, lush greenery, and ample parking space, it provides an excellent canvas for anyone with green fingers or dreams of keeping small animals. The well-maintained outbuilding, ready with electricity and a sectional door, presents a myriad of possibilities—from a workshop to storage space for gardening tools.
Life in a Texel farmhouse is serene, connected to nature, and refreshingly simple. Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of nature, sipping coffee on your terrace, and having plenty of space to host friends, family, and have your own privacy whenever needed. It's about living life at your own pace yet being close enough to modern conveniences should you crave them.
I must say, farmhouses like this don't remain on the market for long. There's an undeniable magic in a home where you can grow your own produce, host a farm-to-table dinner party under twinkling stars, or simply unwind from the faster paces elsewhere. So, even in the midst of my hectic schedule, reaching out to see this farmhouse can be the start of realizing that dream of living authentically and beautifully. Don't hesitate to explore the endless potential of this charming property in one of the Netherlands' most beloved locales.
