luxury villas for sale Friesland, Netherlands

From the moment you step inside, the villa reveals its thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship. Exposed timber beams, traditional Ameland doors and carefully selected natural materials create an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming. Large bay windows frame the surrounding dunes while filling the interiors with natural light throughout the day. During the colder months, the Finnish sauna and wood-burning fireplace provide warmth and comfort, while the various living areas offer ample space to gather with family and friends or retreat in complete privacy. The moment you step outside, you find yourself surrounded by the vast dune landscape, leading all the way to the wide sandy beaches of the North Sea. Along the way, you may encounter Exmoor ponies, Soay sheep and Hereford cattle, all contributing to the management of this unique natural environment. As evening falls, the dunes are beautifully illuminated by the setting sun, while marsh harriers, falcons and buzzards soar above the landscape. The villa has been carefully designed with both comfort and practicality in mind. A spacious utility room provides plenty of space for coats, boots and beach equipment, complete with a large sink for cleaning outdoor gear. From the central entrance hall, you have access to the guest toilet, the basement level, the first floor and the impressive open-plan living area. At the heart of the home lies a generous 77 m² living space, featuring a comfortable lounge, a separate sitting area and an elegant TV and reading room. The open kitchen is fully equipped with premium appliances, including a convection oven, microwave, five-burner gas hob, Teppanyaki grill, two dishwashers and a large side-by-side refrigerator. Taking centre stage is the bespoke dining table, handcrafted by a local carpenter from reclaimed driftwood found on the beaches of Ameland. French doors open onto the terraces and landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Villa Kwikstaart offers five beautifully appointed bedrooms, four of which are located on the first floor. Each bedroom features bespoke box-spring beds with premium Mérens mattresses. Two bedrooms have luxurious en-suite bathrooms with a bathtub, walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. A third bedroom overlooks the woodland and is served by a separate bathroom with views towards the lighthouse of Hollum. The fourth bedroom features custom-built bunk beds, finished to the same high standard. The lower ground floor accommodates the fifth bedroom together with a contemporary bathroom featuring a Finnish sauna, rain shower and private toilet. This level also includes a spacious recreation room, ideal as a games room, home cinema, fitness area or additional lounge. An extra guest toilet and a generous multifunctional room, currently used as a laundry, complete this floor. Surrounding the villa are several terraces and secluded seating areas, allowing you to enjoy the sun, the tranquillity and the ever-changing Dutch skies at any time of day. The location is every bit as impressive as the villa itself. Miles of walking trails wind through the dunes, forests and along the coastline, all just moments from your doorstep. The charming village of Ballum, home to the renowned Restaurant Nobel, is within walking distance, while Ameland Golf Course and Ballum Airport, offering convenient connections to the mainland, are close by. Villa Kwikstaart is a home best experienced in person. We would be delighted to welcome you for a private viewing and introduce you to everything this remarkable property has to offer.
