Gaastmeer was one of the most important export locations to London. Farmhouse Marsicht was built in 1875 at the request of Wieger Jans Visser. The building was used as an office and storage for provisions for the crew of eel barges. The Visser family was a co-founder of the eel trade in London. The current owners have renovated Marsicht into a comfortable home that is also future-proof, using excellent materials while preserving the original gentleman’s room with a box bed, a cozy living room with high ceilings, and sturdy beams. Additionally, the building has been made sustainable and energy-neutral with high insulation values, a geothermal heat pump (underfloor heating and cooling), 36 solar panels, HR++ glazing, and a heat recovery unit.
