NSW Estate Huize Boschoord – Frisian Lake DistrictIn the heart of the Frisian Lake District, between Lemmer and Joure, lies the exceptional NSW-designated estate Huize Boschoord. A historic country house of rare elegance, set on 5.5 hectares of private grounds and surrounded by woodland, water and tranquillity.Built in 1871 as a refined country retreat, Huize Boschoord combines architectural distinction with contemporary comfort. The eclectic design, inspired by chalet-style elements and expressive brickwork, was highly progressive for its time and remains striking today.The estate offers approximately 568 m² of living space, divided over a basement, bel-etage and upper floor. The residence comprises eight spacious suites, each with its own bathroom, making the property suitable for private use, representative living or a high-end hospitality concept. A circular driveway provides an elegant arrival and departure.Over the past decade, the house has been meticulously restored and upgraded, with an investment exceeding €1.2 million. Modern installations and sustainability measures, including roof insulation and double glazing, have been discreetly integrated, preserving the authentic 19th-century atmosphere. The interior is rich in period details, including ornate fireplaces, damask wall coverings, refined staircases and bespoke finishes.The bel-etage forms the heart of the house. A marble entrance hall leads to two impressive salons and a formal dining room, all featuring generous proportions and original fireplaces. The professional-grade kitchen, located in the former billiard room, is equipped to gastronomic standards and is ideally suited for entertaining on a grand scale.The basement level houses 4 characterful rooms, each approximately 30 m², suitable as guest suites, studies or leisure spaces. On the upper floor, 4 generous suites offer panoramic views over the estate and surrounding woodland. Several rooms feature freestanding bathtubs and balconies overlooking the grounds.The landscaped estate extends to 5 hectares and borders the private Vegelin woodland, including a large pond. The grounds feature a terrace, a historic tea pavilion dating from circa 1900, a waterside gazebo and a carriage house with plans for conversion into additional guest accommodation or residential space with a separate driveway.Huize Boschoord is a listed national monument and is designated under the Dutch Natuurschoonwet (Nature Conservation Act). This classification provides substantial fiscal advantages in relation to inheritance and gift tax, income tax, corporate tax, transfer tax and property-related levies, subject to long-term preservation requirements. These benefits significantly support the sustainable ownership and maintenance of the estate.Sint Nicolaasga is centrally located within the Frisian Lake District and offers excellent accessibility. Joure is reached within 8 minutes, Sneek and Heerenveen within 20 minutes. The A6 motorway provides direct connections to Groningen (45 minutes), Leeuwarden (35 minutes) and Amsterdam (approximately 75 minutes).Huize Boschoord represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored, NSW-designated estate of scale and distinction, combining privacy, heritage and commercial potential in one of the most desirable regions of the Netherlands.Viewings are available by appointment.

Onder de Bos 103 – Forest-Edge Country Villa with Far-Reaching Meadow Views On the edge of the Veluwe woods, where ancient trees meet open Dutch pastureland, this 1930s country villa combines classic architecture with a meticulous contemporary renovation. Set high above the surrounding meadows on a private plot of 6,864 m², the house enjoys panoramic views to the front and an intimate woodland atmosphere to the rear – a rare best of both worlds location in the heart of the Netherlands. Originally built in 1936 and fully updated in recent years, the villa now offers approximately 303 m² of living space across two levels, with an A+ energy label and extensive sustainability upgrades, including comprehensive insulation, a new high-efficiency heating system, and 21 solar panels (installed in 2024). Running costs are remarkably modest for a property of this scale, making it an attractive long-term retreat or primary residence. Light, Space and Views The main entrance opens into a generous hall with a striking void. To one side, a large L-shaped living room stretches along the front façade, framed by oversized windows that capture the ever-changing light over the meadows. A contemporary fireplace creates a cosy seating zone within the same space, ideal for both relaxed family living and more formal entertaining. French doors at the rear connect the living room to a covered veranda overlooking the surrounding woodland. This seamless in-out flow, with contrasting vistas of open fields to the front and forest to the back, defines the house's character and makes it exceptionally atmospheric in every season. Contemporary Family Kitchen and Dining Room At the heart of the home is a spacious, recently installed family kitchen (2023) with a large U-shaped layout and full-height cabinetry. Designed for serious cooks and convivial gatherings alike, it features modern built-in appliances and generous worktop space. The kitchen opens into a glass-rich dining room at the rear – a serene dining and living space that feels immersed in the surrounding trees. From here, broad views of the private woodland and landscaped garden create a true inside the forest experience, while remaining comfortably sheltered and usable year-round. A practical utility room with laundry connections and the new central heating system adjoins the kitchen, keeping household functions discreetly out of sight. Five Bedrooms and Modern Bath The first floor offers a family-friendly layout with five well-proportioned bedrooms off a central landing. Large windows ensure each room enjoys abundant natural light, with several bedrooms oriented to take in either the sweeping meadow views or the calming forest backdrop. Ceiling heights and largely straight walls (thanks to the high eaves line) make the spaces particularly practical and easy to furnish. A significantly enlarged and fully modernised bathroom, renewed approximately 1.5 years ago, serves the floor. It features a walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet, with contemporary finishes and underfloor heating for year-round comfort. Above, a large, floored attic offers excellent storage. Grounds, Barn, and Carport Approached via a private access road, the villa sits within mature, thoughtfully landscaped grounds that blend formal garden elements with more natural woodland and meadow. Lawns and several terraces around the house provide sun and shade throughout the day, while established trees and planting ensure both beauty and privacy. Opposite the villa, a substantial detached outbuilding combines a fully insulated barn/garage with a double carport and a large attic space above. This structure, built to modern standards using traditional materials, is ideal for car collectors, a workshop, or a studio, and, subject to local regulations, could be further adapted for guest accommodation or a home office. Additional parking on the driveway comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles. Modern Comfort, Quiet Luxury Behind the fresh façade, the property has been comprehensively upgraded. Key works include renewed flat roofs (2023), extensive insulation of facades, roofs, and floors, new high-efficiency central heating, mechanical ventilation (2023), a recent full exterior repaint (2024), air conditioning, smart-home elements, and 21 owned solar panels installed in 2024 with long manufacturer warranties. Together, these works elevate the villa to contemporary standards of comfort while preserving its original charm. Location Onder de Bos 103 lies in a small enclave of detached homes between the forests of the Veluwe and open farmland, in the hamlet of Hulshorst. Everyday amenities, schools, golf courses, and marinas on the Veluwemeer are within easy driving distance, while the larger towns of Harderwijk, Nunspeet, and Zwolle provide restaurants, culture, and international schooling options. Major Dutch cities and Schiphol Airport are readily accessible by car and train, positioning this peaceful country retreat within the national and European networks.
