Summer evenings are made for intimate drinks and long dinners in the characterful garden, while movie nights in the private cinema or celebrations at the bar create lasting memories. In the colder months, the heart of the home comes to life with cosy winter evenings spent in the open-plan kitchen or by the fireplace. This is more than just a house it’s a home that effortlessly embraces all who enter, whatever the time of day or season.This modern family home was completely renovated in 2024, with sustainability, design, comfort, and security as its key guiding principles.The house is equipped with state-of-the-art, government level security systems, designed with an emphasis on safety, peace of mind, and future-proof living. All technology has been seamlessly integrated into the home during the renovation.The villa was architecturally redesigned by the internationally renowned interior design studio Nicemakers, known for projects such as Hotel De L’Europe, Mendo Bookstore, Flore Restaurant, and The Hoxton. Following the initial renovation in 2019, the current residents used their living experience to further optimize and refine every square meter. The result is a warm family home, rich in design, quality, and sustainable choices.The generous layout and open living spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light and a sense of spaciousness to flow freely throughout the home.Every room is designed to promote comfort, warmth, and connection.The expansive kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, features a wine bar, and has a dining table integrated with the kitchen island.It is a space where a love for cooking and dining come together. The kitchen flows organically into the open dining area, dominated by a spectacular indoor-outdoor living effect. It’s a perfect setting for both everyday family life and elegant dinner parties. A fireplace surrounded by a cozy seating area connects the living and dining rooms subtly through a stylish see through feature.The living room includes custom-built mahogany design cabinets, offering space for art and books. The large windows, framed in matching designer elements, create a natural connection to the terrace and landscaped garden, allowing the interior and exterior to feel like one continuous space.The garden was also designed by an architect. Varied elevations, multiple heated terraces, a large lawn, and a sun deck create a natural and inviting flow. Every detail reflects luxury and comfort: a charming veranda with an adjustable canopy integrated into the pergola, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a jacuzzi, a water fountain, a waterfront terrace with a private dock, and even a slide and diving board. Several outdoor fireplaces and heaters ensure year-round outdoor comfort.Smart technology powers and manages the entire home, offering fine tuned control and custom atmospheres tailored to personal preferences.Sustainability was fully integrated during the comprehensive renovation, resulting in an A+++ energy label. Every system is thoughtfully designed and future-proof: the heating and electrical systems were completely renewed, a heat exchange system was installed, and 40 solar panels were placed on the roof. The system is battery-ready, meaning the house can easily become fully self-sufficient.With the smart home system, you can monitor all the home’s energy and performance metrics at a glance.This is one of Amsterdam’s most sustainable city villas.Originally built in 2003 under architectural guidance, the home was designed with total privacy in mind.At the time, the architect created a unique, non-typical Amsterdam city villa on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by nature and with direct access to the Amstel River.The original home had a living area of 529 m², already conceived on a grand scale. This layout served as a strong foundation for the first renovation in 2019. Now, seven years later, the property has been completely optimized and expanded to 717 m², both technically and aesthetically, and includes every conceivable amenity.The architect-designed garden invites year round outdoor living.Perfectly south facing, it enjoys sunlight from morning to evening, with just the right amount of shade on warm days. Designed with outdoor living, play, and relaxation in mind, the garden features multiple levels, five seating areas spread across various terraces, a large lawn, and a dock with a sun deck and mooring space.The garden is fully reinforced and the waterfront embankment has been entirely rebuilt.High quality materials such as warm hardwood and robust corten steel combined with lush greenery, give it a timeless appearance.Beneath the hardwood pergola, complete with integrated sunshade and outdoor heating, you'll find a comfortable lounge area, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a jacuzzi. The dock becomes your launchpad for water activities: paddleboarding, swimming, and e-foiling in private waters, or boating on the Amstel summer fun is guaranteed. Various outdoor fireplaces and heating systems offer a cozy outdoor experience throughout the seasons.As evening falls, the garden transforms into a magical retreat for long, intimate evenings.Soft lighting, the crackling of the fire pit, and a gentle breeze through the trees give the outdoor experience an almost Mediterranean feel. Every detail has been considered: a fountain keeps mosquitoes at bay near the water, and the outdoor heating and fireplaces provide warmth and atmosphere for year-round enjoyment. This garden is a true extension of the home a place to unwind, connect, and enjoy life together.

Villa with garden and terrace Nigtevecht (Netherlands)
Vreelandseweg 99 in Nigtevecht - A beautiful, modern (completely renovated in 2023), luxurious, thatched villa on the majestic River Vecht, just outside Amsterdam. Living here means endless enjoyment with family and friends of the beautiful nature, the conviviality of water sports on the river, but also the ultimate peace and privacy that this magnificent place has to offer. And all this just a stone's throw (20 minutes) from Amsterdam and the charming villages of Nigtevecht and Vreeland (5 minutes).When you leave the hustle and bustle of the big city behind and approach the house via a traditional Dutch country road winding along the beautiful river “de Vecht,” peace and quiet envelop you like a warm blanket. The stately automatic gate opens, you park your car in the spacious parking lot, and you turn off the engine. You are home. Here you can hear the babbling water, the birds, and above all, nature. It feels like a vacation resort and a family home in one. A place where you make priceless memories that will last a lifetime. Where family and friends come together and where you can enjoy the water, peace, space, and privacy every day.We could take you through each room in this text, overwhelm you with top-of-the-line kitchen appliances and details about how spacious, exclusive, and refined this home is. But we'd rather let you experience the unique atmosphere and countless possibilities that this beautiful villa has to offer.Here you'll find the essence of what living should be: feeling completely at home and being yourself.T H E V I L L AWith a living area of approximately 290 m², the villa offers plenty of space without feeling uncomfortably large. The recent “refit” was outsourced by the current owner to a skilled team of interior designers and a high-end contractor. The ground floor features a spacious living room with an adjoining conservatory, two open fireplaces, a luxurious and comfortable kitchen/dining room, a very spacious study (which can easily be converted into a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, see artist's impression/floor plan), a gym (fitness room), and a large basement. On the first floor, there are now two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The thatched roof, the rod-divided windows, and doors exude character, while modern technology invisibly ensures ultimate comfort. Classic charm meets high-tech convenience, exactly as it should be. The layout is practical and well thought out, with several living areas on the ground floor. These include a spacious living room, a cozy conservatory, and an attractive kitchen. This is not a place to cook, but a place to live. Enjoy hours of dining, relaxing drinks with friends, and cozy winter evenings by the fireplace. Pour yourself a glass of wine from the wine cabinet, open the garden doors, and relax on the cozy terrace overlooking the river “de Vecht.”The delightful, spacious study where work and relaxation go hand in hand. Here you can concentrate on your work, and then just as easily do a few squats in the adjacent gym. The study is equipped with custom-made cupboards and, above all, lots of light. Thanks to the large double French doors, you can even park your car inside as a work of art! If you wish to live here for the rest of your life, the study can easily be converted into an extra bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a few adjustments.The upper floor features the master bedroom, fully equipped with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Here, the tranquility is almost tangible; beautiful sweeping views of the countryside and the Vecht river through the French doors and the indoor balcony. All you can hear is the rippling water and the soft singing of the (water) birds. There is also a luxurious second bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. Time to end your working day?

Villa with garden and terrace Rijsenhout (Netherlands)
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.

Villa with garden and terrace Vinkeveen (Netherlands)
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.
