luxury houses with pool for sale Heveadorp, Netherlands

This country house and landscape bring out the best in each other: this villa has it all and is truly a modern classic.  Tranquility, space, and the rich life. Nestled in the area of The Netherlands, where the Romans built their first settlements, lies this magnificent country house on centuries-old ground. A modern gem full of ingenuity and surprises on the edge of the village of Bergharen. Here, the river dune landscape, formed during the last ice age, comes fully into its own.   Everything breathes history, yet nothing could be further from the truth. When the current owner discovered this beautiful spot five years ago, he envisioned a modern classic. But one where all the functions of luxurious living merge. A library was to be built, indoor and outdoor large wood-burning fireplaces, offices, a cool space for the most beautiful wines, a cinema, swimming pool, space for sports, and a wellness area, which he modestly refers to as a sauna.  Two residential units   Two extremely spacious residential units subtly connected to each other. Thus, he can freely choose from the different atmospheres that life here has to offer, and there is room for everyone. For all the children, there had to be their own bathroom. And at the same time, plenty of space to be together. This can be done in the high open spaces where the living rooms have formed an alliance with the kitchens. A dream home where you can be young and grow old, with, of course, a master bedroom, spacious dressing room, and ensuite bathroom on the ground floor, and on the first floor, six bedrooms with private sanitary facilities. A house for every phase of life and changing family compositions. Of course, everything had to breathe sustainability. But without flaunting it. The 150 solar panels are therefore expertly concealed from view.  Thatch roofed  Of the farmhouse that was already there, perhaps three walls remained standing. A country house was erected that leaves nothing to be desired. Hypermodern, with five heat pumps, both underfloor heating and ceiling cooling, and a camera system that provides reassuring security. Two kitchens with high-quality equipment and the latest of the new. The original character of the former thatched farmhouse was not entirely erased, but generously supplemented to become a white country house that has the potential to become a new classic.  A perfect match  For the overall plan, the current owner entered into a collaboration with a specialized architectural firm. It was a perfect match, as they were able to seamlessly blend a deep love for historical heritage with extremely modern design – the monuments of the future. They were responsible for the very well-thought-out design featuring a rural thatched roof and large transparent facades that not only reveal a high and open volume but also offer optimal sightlines to the surrounding countryside. Through the glass facades, the landscape warmly welcomes you inside. It’s delightful to sit by the fireplace with a glass of good wine in the evening, gazing outside and contemplating the good life. This fireplace, by the way, serves a dual purpose. It’s also enjoyable outside, under the covered terrace, basking in the warm glow of the wood fire.  It was essential that the architectural firm had a good rapport with the construction company with which the current owner had previously collaborated successfully: a company specializing in restoration and exclusive villa construction. The impressive oak beams that support the entire house structure are their handiwork. They catch the eye and exude history, yet they are entirely crafted by the skilled hands of expert carpenters. A unique combination of modernity with the rural charm that befits the surroundings.  And then there’s that church…   The landscape architect who designed the garden layout had crossed paths with the current owner before. He has a knack for making the greenery of the spacious plot appear even more generous. There’s plenty of space for a rose garden, lots of greenery, and a wooded path that leads to the charming church just a short distance away. It’s nice to know that in the church chamber concerts are regularly held in the summer. “It has a rustic charm,” says the current owner.  The garden connected with the landscape   On the 7.000 m² plot, there’s even a chicken coop. But other animals also feel right at home here. It’s not uncommon for the current owner to find himself face to face with a few deer early in the morning, passing behind the garden. “I also see hawks and buzzards here, and lots of butterflies. Truly beautiful.” At the same time, he pragmatically notes that the garden is virtually maintenance-free.  How is it possible that everything here feels like the plot has been embraced by the landscape? The passionate landscape architect says that in large gardens, spatial proportions, landscape features, and the relationship with the surroundings are important. Near the buildings, it can be small-scale; further away, it can be more spacious. This blurs the plot boundaries, integrating the garden into the environment. Well-positioned sightlines enhance that experience. The setting sun bathes the rough grass in a golden glow in the evenings.  All of this has been applied here. The sleek ponds give the garden an extra dimension. The movement of the water and its reflection bring dynamism and tranquility simultaneously. The heated swimming pool has also been optimally incorporated into the design. It’s a delight to swim a few laps outdoors in the morning, or to take a refreshing dip after exercising in the adjacent gym.  A match made in heaven   Not only was the ‘construction team’ a match made in heaven, but also the connection between the hypermodern country house and the historical narrative that the surroundings tell is perfect. The villa pays homage to Roman history by nodding to a maison carrée, with the fourth pillar formed by the landscape. This luxurious detached residence was intended for wealthy city dwellers in Roman times and was located no more than two days’ journey from the city. Nowadays, you can reach the heart of Nijmegen within twenty minutes. The junction of highways A50 and A73 is just a five-minute drive away. The nearby villages such as Wijchen, Druten, and Beuningen offer amenities close by.  Hammam, gym, or pool house?   Zooming back into the country house, we think once again of the ancient Romans. Even the detached wellness area is reminiscent of a thermae – the origin of the bathhouse. The historical story goes that the spa was a place where people came together to chat and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. Before the relaxation could begin, the Romans often did exercises, to fully enjoy everything the bathhouse had to offer afterwards. Here, you don’t have to leave the house for a ‘day at the spa’. The spa with hammam and sauna, wellness area, and gym together form the pool house. Once outside, you can take a refreshing dip in the pool or sweat it out on the sun terrace.  The cinema is a dream spot  However, the current owner might miss his library the most. An intimate space where a modern spiral staircase leads to the loft. “An ideal place to work, grab a book, or play a game of chess.” He would also love to take the cinema to his next place. “It’s still a special addition for me,” he says. He can be found there several times a week for a cinema-sized movie experience. The sound, the image, it’s all of high quality. The room is well insulated, so it’s also great for playing some good music, he says. Or making music yourself, of course. A drum set here won’t bother anyone…  Here, anything is possible.   Who does he see living here? The possibilities are endless. “Parents who like to have their adult children nearby. Or a busy family who enjoys having their parents living on the same property and sharing in the care of the little ones.” For a family with college-aged children, it’s a perfect home base. “As a student, you still get to live somewhat independently, and within twenty minutes, you’re at the university.” Or a couple who prefer to live together but also want to lead their own lives. “Living apart together and raising children together is very relevant.” A Bed & Breakfast is also easily feasible. Here, anything is possible.  Warm, aesthetic, and balanced  One thing is certain. Whoever wants to shut out the world will find the best of the best in this villa. But those who want to let the world in will find the same. Huge, but not overwhelming. Spacious yet intimate. Warm, aesthetic, balanced, and forward-thinking. These are words that spontaneously come to mind when describing this country house. Everything is of unparalleled beauty. Harmonious and timeless. A dream home that continues to surprise and inspire. Here the landscape and the country house bring out the very best in each other. Energy rating A+++
