A sustainable villa in the green heart of the Randstad – truly in a class of its own. An abundance of space, comfort, warmth and sustainability makes this villa (2000) a remarkable family home. Here, you enjoy the tranquility and safety of village life, while lively surroundings are always within easy reach. And then there are the two fully self-contained apartments, each with its own entrance – a valuable addition. Perfect for multi-generational living, grown-up children, or accommodating a nanny or au pair. It also serves beautifully as a guest residence for visiting family and friends. This characterful villa is the result of a seamless collaboration between the current owners and Piet Boon, a Dutch architect with international acclaim. A bold designer known for his forward-thinking, sustainable and innovative ideas, with a strong focus on the client’s wishes. The home is defined by its beautiful natural light and exceptional privacy. The consistent symmetry creates a sense of calm, enhanced by the use of high-quality materials such as solid oak flooring and panel doors, as well as carefully chosen color schemes. Together with Boon, a select group of passionate craftsmen contributed to this traditionally built home. The quality is tangible in every detail. In June 2024, the villa underwent a full update. The guest residence in the former garage dates back to 2017, and two years later a luxurious apartment was added on the top floor, complete with lift and stair access. With the exception of the wine cellar, the entire villa is equipped with underfloor heating. The home also features climate control (heat recovery system), home automation (smart lighting, wireless Bluesound audio), and a security system. The entrance gate is remotely operated, and façade lighting adds a unique atmosphere to the property. THE VILLA Ground floor Upon arrival, standing on the stone doorstep before the impressive front door, you immediately sense that something special lies beyond. Step inside… Double glass doors separate the entrance from the main hall with mezzanine and adjoining corridor, which provides access to all living areas: TV room, living room, kitchen and office. A striking feature is the pair of elegant black natural stone staircases flanking the corridor. Further along – past the guest toilet and cloakroom – the corridor leads into a second hall with mezzanine, where carefully curated art pieces are beautifully displayed. The TV room is warm and inviting, featuring a robust natural stone fireplace with an open wood-burning fire. A bespoke cabinet wall with oak folding doors connects it to the living room. The flooring, renewed in 2024, consists of solid oak laid in a herringbone pattern. The spacious living room offers a lighter palette, creating a slightly different yet equally inviting ambiance. The kitchen has a modern country style, combining solid oak cabinetry with a bold Belgian bluestone worktop. It features a central sink island and a separate cooking area with a fully equipped Viking range. The adjoining utility room, complete with extra refrigeration and a coffee station, mirrors the same style. From here, a black natural stone staircase leads to the basement with wine cellar and wellness area. Near the entrance is a practical office space – ideal for receiving business visitors without having to walk through the entire house. At the rear, a glass-rich conservatory connects the home seamlessly with the garden. Enjoy this space year-round thanks to underfloor heating and ceiling heaters. Accessible from the kitchen, living room and hallway, it features a sleek fireplace with open gas fire and double doors opening onto the garden. The low-maintenance backyard resembles a charming French courtyard, with mature plane trees and a gravel surface. Two identical cedar garden structures with zinc roofs sit on either side – one serving as a lounge, the other housing a jacuzzi. The garden extends to a large waterside deck. The architect’s sense of symmetry is reflected throughout, in hedges, pergolas, planting beds and water features. There is also ample space for children to play. The overall design ensures optimal privacy, both indoors and out. First floor The landing and two spacious bedrooms feature wide solid oak flooring. Each bedroom has its own luxurious bathroom. Custom-built cabinetry provides generous storage throughout. The large laundry room can easily be converted into an additional bedroom. A separate area on this floor serves as a private entrance (with lift and stairs) to the top-floor apartment. The first bedroom is light and inviting, with an ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub, vanity, shower and toilet. The second bedroom includes a freestanding wardrobe unit with integrated bed. Through an adjoining dressing room, you reach the private bathroom with a freestanding Boffi bathtub, double vanity, shower and separate toilet. Second floor The top floor houses a stylish, cleverly designed apartment with its own lift and staircase. Finished with a grey cast floor and illuminated by skylights, it offers exceptional privacy. The living area includes a spacious lounge and a sleek white open kitchen with island. The sleeping area connects to a generous open bathroom with bathtub, vanity, shower and separate toilet. Large sliding wardrobes provide extensive storage. Basement The basement is far more than just a wine cellar. It is designed for relaxed gatherings with family and friends – whether in the atmospheric wine cellar and bar, or in the luxurious wellness area featuring a sauna, spa, steam shower, vanity and separate toilet. Garage & guest residence The original garage was extensively renovated in 2017, creating a fully self-contained apartment at the rear. The front section remains a garage with remote-controlled doors. The property offers parking for at least four cars on site. The cozy two-level guesthouse has its own entrance but is also accessible from within the villa. The ground floor includes a living area and open kitchen, while the upper floor is dedicated to sleeping and bathing. Rijsenhout & surroundings Rijsenhout, with just over 4,000 residents, is centrally located in the green heart of the Randstad and surrounded by classic Dutch polder landscapes. Daily amenities such as a supermarket, bakery and garden center are nearby. It is a wonderful place for children to grow up, with a primary school and active community life. Nearby towns like Hoofddorp, Aalsmeer and Amstelveen offer extensive additional facilities, and Amsterdam is just a short drive away – approximately 20 minutes to Museumplein via the A4 motorway. Schiphol Airport is also easily accessible. The Westeinder Lakes, a beautiful nature and recreational area, are just around the corner, offering water sports, marinas, and excellent cycling and walking routes. A landscape defined by horticulture, flower fields, windmills, forts and dikes.

Is ‘living by the water’ your dream? Then this semi-detached villa along the beautiful Vinkeveense Plassen might be exactly what you're looking for. Nestled between the villages of Vinkeveen and Abcoude, this green and water-rich area is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking peace and privacy. Whether you’re looking to live, work, or relax, this unique home offers it all. Once you pass through the remotely operated gate, a different world unfolds. Feels Like a Detached Home This two-storey villa is part of a distinctive cube house built in 1966. The developer himself moved into number 67 and sold number 65. The current owners carried out a major renovation in 2007, and in 2021 installed maintenance-free window frames with tilt-and-turn insulated safety glass. The exterior walls were also replastered. Around four years ago, the roof was renewed. Even better, there is an approved (transferable) permit in place for a 90m² extension, granted by the municipality of De Ronde Venen. A wonderful family home by the water, offering comfort and charm — where the exceptional location truly sets it apart. UPPER FLOOR Living Area & Roof Terrace Let’s start on the upper level, the heart of the home. From here, you’ll enjoy the very best views of the surrounding water. The expansive living room opens onto the Vinkeveense Plassen through large glass doors at the rear, offering a continuous display of life on the water – boats, skiers, surfers, birds, and in the evening, stunning sunsets. A wide sliding door opens onto a large roof terrace with decking, an electric sunshade, and a safe glass balustrade. In a word, spectacular. The living room also features a modern fireplace (gas connection available). Kitchen & Bedroom The tasteful wood-look laminate floor continues seamlessly from the living room into the open kitchen. A long dining table fits beautifully between the two spaces. The sleek, modern kitchen features anthracite fronts, with a refined combination of handles, a matching backsplash, and a countertop -  all finished in stainless steel. Off the kitchen is a generous bedroom. This floor also includes a guest toilet with a washbasin in the entry area. GROUND FLOOR Sleeping & Bathing Downstairs, the spacious entry hall with open staircase leads to the main living level. The master bedroom at the rear features a walk-in closet and French doors opening onto the generous garden and the covered terrace with an open fireplace. At the front is a second large bedroom, complete with electric shutters. There’s also a third room currently used as an office. The bathroom is timelessly styled in white and grey and includes a bathtub, wide vanity with cabinet and mirrored storage, and a wall-mounted toilet. A technical room is also located on this floor. Garage The spacious internal garage, with double doors, serves as a laundry room, bike storage, and general utility space. It connects directly to the entrance hallway. The garage could easily be repurposed if desired. Outside, the paved driveway offers parking for several vehicles, and across the street, also on private land, there’s space for at least six more cars. Boathouse & Conservatory At the back of the generous plot lies a wooden boathouse with an electric roller door and a hoisting system, located directly on a canal. Attached to the side is a large conservatory with sliding glass walls on three sides, providing a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Electricity, water, drainage, and heaters make this a comfortable space for use in all seasons. The property borders a ring canal. A wooden footbridge leads to the expansive grass field and wooded area on the other side, owned by the water board. For a symbolic fee, this land can be rented, provided the tenant handles the maintenance. Management of the ring canal itself remains the responsibility of the water board. ABOUT THE AREA Vinkeveen During the boating season, Vinkeveen comes alive. The village has a supermarket, bakery, butcher, pharmacy, fashion store, and several charming restaurants, including The Harbour Club, located just at the entrance of your street. Primary and secondary schools are available in both Vinkeveen and nearby Abcoude, each within cycling distance from the home. Vinkeveen also has a local football club and a very active tennis club, as well as a sailing school that organizes events regularly. Boating How wonderful to go directly from your boathouse or jetty out onto the water. Within a minute you can reach the open Vinkeveense Plassen via the canal. This lake system, also connected to the Loosdrechtse Plassen, the picturesque Vecht River, and further on to Utrecht, is ideal for day trips. A boat outing to Amsterdam is always a pleasure. Moor somewhere for a drink or dinner, or do your grocery shopping in Vinkeveen – all by boat. This villa is the perfect home base for it all. Or hop on a bike and explore the countryside. The Vinkeveense Plassen feature 12 sand islands and hundreds of small plots of land (legakkers), home to a wide variety of bird species. The area combines nature and recreation in perfect harmony, with sailing, diving, waterskiing, surfing, and swimming all part of daily life. Did you know the swimming water here is among the cleanest in the Netherlands? Accessibility Via the nearby A2 motorway (exits Vinkeveen or Abcoude), both Amsterdam (15 minutes) and Utrecht (25 minutes) are quickly and easily reached by car.
