This charming dike house is situated on a spacious plot of over 4,390m2 in the historic estate "Huis te Jaarsveld", overlooking the Lek River, the idyllic moat, and pastures with sheep and alpacas. Nature is abundant in Jaarsveld. The clattering of storks on the church (visible from the living room) in spring. White swans, black swans, herons, colourful woodpeckers, kingfishers, blackbirds, robins, greenfinches, swallows, flocks of starlings, owls, hawks, and much more! Long walks through the dreamy riverbanks. Apples from the orchard, delicious plums, and fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden. Peace, freedom, vast space, and a very special history of the estate.
The ground floor features a cosy kitchen at the back and two living areas at the front, all with beautiful rural views. The floor has a spacious landing, a bathroom with all amenities, and three spacious bedrooms. Arrive at a rural cottage, furnished with exceptional luxury, ambiance, history, and nature, and part of the unique Buitenplaats Huis te Jaarsveld estate. This beautiful estate offers tranquility, space, privacy, and a complete escape from everyday life.
The charming cottage is perfect for a long weekend away with your loved one or family, or for extended stays, for instance, by (returning) expats, diplomats, etc. The entire house is at your disposal, fully equipped.
Due to its attractive location in the Green Heart of the Netherlands, Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague, Schiphol, and Amsterdam are all within an hour's drive. Additionally, there are many nearby activities such as cycling, hiking, or visiting picturesque villages and towns. Or perhaps even better: stroll through the estate's gardens and orchards or retreat with a good book for the weekend.
