Long sightlines extending into the garden, expansive glazing and thoughtfully positioned walls create an intriguing interplay between openness and intimacy.The covered entrance is centrally positioned within the house and forms the connecting element between the various living spaces. From here, the study, kitchen, living room and utility room are all easily accessible. Bespoke cabinetry has been seamlessly integrated into the architecture, creating a calm and uncluttered interior.The spacious kitchen is one of the highlights of the house. A freestanding cooking and sink island forms the heart of the room, while extensive glazing on several sides floods the space with natural light and creates beautiful views through the house and into the garden. Here too, the importance of sightlines within the architectural concept becomes particularly apparent.Adjoining the kitchen is the study. Its clever positioning creates a fully functional workspace with ample privacy, while retaining a sense of connection with the surrounding living areas.The dining room and living room are situated towards the rear of the house. Although connected, the architectural layout gives each space its own distinct character. Like the kitchen, the dining room opens directly onto the covered terrace, which has been designed as a true outdoor room and an integral part of the house.The living room has a slightly more intimate character, providing a comfortable place in which to retreat and relax. The fireplace is beautifully integrated into the bespoke wall of cabinetry.The practical areas of the house are grouped centrally and include a luxurious cloakroom and a utility room fitted with built-in cupboards, a sink, worktop and its own external entrance.Alongside the house is a generous carport, with the detached garage beyond. Both have been carefully incorporated into the overall architectural composition, with the sightline between the villa and garage continuing seamlessly into the garden.First floorThe sleekly designed staircase leads to the first floor, where space and comfort have deliberately taken precedence. Rather than dividing the floor into numerous smaller rooms, the layout comprises two exceptionally generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate laundry room and extensive integrated storage.The principal bedroom is particularly spacious. The roof structure has been left open to the ridge, enhancing the sense of height and giving the room a distinctive architectural quality. A large walk-in wardrobe provides extensive storage.The adjoining bathroom features a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and double vanity. Directly accessible from the bathroom is the sauna, which can be used both as a traditional Finnish sauna and an infrared sauna.

The plant room also houses the installation for the central vacuum system.Special featuresThe villa was built on the site of a former apple orchard, whose history became one of the defining principles of the design. The original linear pattern of the orchard is reflected in the architecture, with long sightlines and vistas extending through the various rooms and continuing into the landscape beyond.The sliding timber shutters are another integral part of the architectural concept. They give the façades an ever-changing appearance while allowing both daylight and privacy to be adjusted as desired.Attention to detail is evident throughout the house. Bespoke joinery, the kitchen, sanitary fittings and lighting have all been carefully selected and coordinated. Every element appears considered, with no concessions made to convenience. High-quality materials and an exceptionally refined finish underline the overall standard of the property.The history of the site also inspired the garden design. In reference to the former apple orchard, fruit trees have once again been planted and grouped within an orchard framed by Corten steel. At the front of the property, alongside the ditch, pollarded willows reflect the character of the surrounding landscape.Hedges, borders and long sightlines provide structure, interspersed with perennials and ornamental grasses. A glass greenhouse has also been beautifully incorporated into the garden. Adjoining the orchard is an edible woodland garden planted with blackberries, currants and raspberries, making the grounds not only attractive but also productive.A particularly striking feature is the terrace immediately adjoining the house, which appears to float above the pond. Its slender canopy provides shelter and transforms the terrace into a fully fledged outdoor living space. Several additional terraces and seating areas are positioned around the house, offering a choice of sun or shade throughout the day.The swimming pool enjoys sunshine for virtually the entire day and, thanks to its position within the grounds, offers a high degree of privacy. The garden is, of course, equipped with an irrigation system.Technology has also been carefully considered to enhance everyday comfort. The house features a home automation system and integrated speakers. Heating is provided by a heat pump, complemented by underfloor cooling. An EV charging point is also installed.The combination of considered architecture, exceptional finishes and a meticulously landscaped garden makes this a truly distinctive property. House and garden have been conceived as one coherent design, with a consistent focus on sightlines, natural light, space and quality.

Functional where needed, full of character where desired. They provide ample possibilities for storage, hobbies, keeping animals, or creating additional living or working spaces — all without compromising the overall aesthetic.There is room here for horses, for outdoor living, for freedom. But above all, for a way of life that is becoming increasingly rare.The technical foundation of the property is solid and future-oriented. Insulation, installations and energy systems have all been updated in recent years, resulting in a comfortable indoor climate and an energy label B — something highly uncommon for a property of this type.The location completes the picture. Entirely private and surrounded by nature, yet within easy reach of Tilburg, ’s-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven. Here, you are not isolated — merely secluded.Haarensebaan 5 is not simply a collection of features.It is a place where past and present merge seamlessly.Where atmosphere has not been created, but evolved naturally.And where comfort is not merely visible, but deeply felt.A rare combination of soul and serenity.

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+++
