Villa with garden and terrace Sprang-Capelle (Netherlands)
Living without compromise: space, tranquility, sustainability and endless possibilitiesIn a beautiful location near the harbor of Sprang-Capelle, you will find this truly unique, fully renovated former farmhouse set on a generous plot of over 2,460 m². A home where space, luxury and future-proof living come together. With approximately 375 m² of living space, more than 300 m² of additional indoor space, an A++ energy label, 48 solar panels, heat pumps and an almost gas-free installation, this property is completely prepared for the future. And all this with the A59 motorway just one minute away and cities such as Den Bosch, Tilburg and Breda reachable within half an hour. Grand living, ultimate freedom, yet perfectly accessible.A completed renovation project with vision and dedicationBetween 2020 and 2025, the current owners left nothing to chance. The property has been renewed, made sustainable and refined from top to bottom. All pipes and installations have been replaced, floors and façades insulated, roofs fully renewed (including purlins and roof decking), and the home equipped with modern heat pumps.The result? A comfortable, energy-efficient house with a surprisingly low electricity bill of approximately €170 per month. Cooking is currently still done on gas, by choice of the owners who enjoy cooking. Prefer induction? No problem — the necessary provisions are already in place. The home can easily be made completely gas-free.Historic character with contemporary comfortBehind its modern performance lies a home with a remarkable story. The original construction dates back to approximately 1850. During the Second World War, the front section was damaged, after which the front façade was rebuilt. Whereas the house once stood directly on the street, it is now positioned approximately six meters back. This makes it one of the few homes in this characteristic street with a generous front garden and ample distance from the road.During the recent renovation, the façades were cleaned, impregnated, re-pointed where necessary and insulated. Authentic wooden beams have been preserved, left visible and professionally treated, creating a warm, characterful atmosphere with a nod to the past.Life-cycle proof living with exceptional spaceDespite its impressive dimensions, the home feels logical and comfortable. It is fully life-cycle proof. On the ground floor you will find, in addition to the spacious living room, a very generous bedroom, a large walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom. There is also a complete laundry room with ample storage and a sink.Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and a second bathroom.Do not be misled by the floor plans: due to the sheer size of the property, the rooms may appear smaller than they actually are. Please refer carefully to the listed dimensions — they truly reveal how spacious this home is.A kitchen and bar designed for gatheringThe inviting kitchen flows seamlessly into the cozy living room and features a kitchen island with an adjoining wooden dining table, plenty of storage space and all modern built-in appliances.And then… accessible via the utility room, the garage or the veranda at the rear… the bar. Fully equipped with refrigeration units, its own restroom with toilet and urinal, and an impressive mezzanine reaching up to the roof ridge. Even from the attic level you can look down into the bar. This is a space that must be experienced.A “garage” the size of a commercial hallThe adjoining garage hardly does justice to its name. With approximately 160 m² of space, a large sectional door at the rear measuring 3.5 meters in both width and height, a loft and additional indoor areas, it is a dream for car enthusiasts, camper storage, collectors or hobbyists. A large van can easily drive inside.And that does not even include the additional indoor areas: including the attic above the bar, the property offers more than 300 m² of extra space in addition to the living area.Suitable for B&B, home office or multi-generational livingThe possibilities here are truly endless. A Bed & Breakfast is among the options (permit required), partly thanks to a separate entrance at the rear and ample on-site parking. Multi-generational living is also perfectly feasible: parents, children and grandchildren together, while maintaining privacy.For those working from home, there is a spacious home office, accessible via its own entrance and overlooking the driveway.Low-maintenance, quiet and comfortableThanks to uPVC window frames with wood-grain finish, concrete cladding in wood-look style and fully insulated façades, maintenance is minimal. Part of the glazing consists of sound-insulating (triple) glass, ensuring that traffic noise is barely audible in the living room and bedroom.Underfloor heating on the ground floor, high-quality materials and carefully considered choices complete the comfort.Technically perfectedBehind the scenes, everything has also been carefully arranged. The electrical installation is extensive and future-oriented, with multiple three-phase groups, separate distribution boards for the house and rear building, surge protection and full provisions for the solar panels.An asbestos report from 2019 is available, confirming that no suspicious materials were found. All wooden trusses have been treated against woodworm, including warranty certification.A place you need to experienceWords, floor plans and photos do their best, but this property cannot truly be captured on paper. The space, atmosphere, tranquility and possibilities must be experienced in person. The same applies to the outdoor area. As all time and energy were devoted to the house itself, the next owner has the opportunity to further design the garden to their own taste. A solid foundation is already in place: paving has been completed and a very spacious veranda — accessible from the bar — has been installed.With the vast space behind and beside the house, the outdoor possibilities are virtually limitless.* General information* Plot size: 2,460 m²* Living area: 373 m²* Additional indoor space: approx. 307 m²* Building-related outdoor space: 43 m²* Year of construction: 1850* Energy label: A++ (solar panels and air-source heat pumps)* Volume: 2,522 m³* Transfer: in consultationFinallyA property can only truly be seen, felt and experienced during a personal viewing.

Villa with pool Bergharen (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+++
