Nestled amidst the tranquil beauty of Giethoorn, often dubbed 'the Venice of the North', this enchanting villa presents a serene retreat for those drawn to the calm of nature and the adventure of water sports. Positioned on a generous plot of 963 m², the property stands at the edge of a peninsula, offering an unrivaled panorama of the surrounding deep navigable waters and the majestic 'De Weerribben and Wieden', a celebrated Nature Monument and part of the Natura2000 network.
Constructed in 2012, the villa maintains a solid structure and is in good condition, presenting a wonderful opportunity for personalization without the immediate need for heavy renovations. With a living space of 179 square meters spread across three floors, including 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the residence is well-suited for a family seeking spacious living or accommodation options for guests.
The main entrance leads you into a welcoming hall, flowing into a bright garden room with large sliding doors that merge the indoor space with the expansive terrace outside. A utility room equipped for white goods provides practical storage solutions and secondary access to the home from the exterior. The highlight of the ground floor is undoubtedly the luminous living room, featuring French doors and a see-through gas fireplace, accompanied by an open kitchen fitted with modern appliances.
The first floor houses three spacious bedrooms, each offering delightful views, further improved by a balcony on the west side that presents even more spectacular vantages of the water and nature reserve. Two well-appointed bathrooms with walk-in showers, along with a separate toilet, offer convenience for the residents.
Ascending to the top floor, the villa’s tower room is a versatile space that can serve as an additional bedroom, an attic, or a hobby room. With its own balcony, this space captures the beauty of the Dutch landscape under vast, open skies, making it an ideal retreat within the home.
The garden surrounding the villa is meticulously maintained, featuring a large sun terrace facing southwest that bathes the area in light and warmth, perfect for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. The waterfront side extends into a substantial swimming jetty, doubling as a berth for boats, next to which lies a spacious boathouse equipped with a boat lift and additional storeroom.
Located deep in a water sports paradise, the property is ideally situated for anyone with a passion for sailing and exploring. The nearby lakes 'De Beulaker' and 'De Belter' provide ample opportunities for water-related activities. Giethoorn itself offers essential amenities like a supermarket, several dining options, and ample water sports facilities, all within a charming, canal-lined setting.
Beyond the village, Steenwijk (8 kilometers) and Meppel (11 kilometers) offer broader regional facilities including shopping malls, theaters, cinemas, and diverse dining opportunities. For golf enthusiasts, a beautiful 18-hole course awaits in Havelte. The connectivity is complemented by an intercity bus and train stations in nearby towns, ensuring easy access for visiting guests or daily commutes.
