On the Amstel: Exclusive Modern Country House with Coach House, Large Jetty, and Sustainable Amenities
On the banks of the Amstel, on a generous plot of almost 1,500 m², lies this modern, luxurious country house with accompanying coach house. Here you can enjoy ultimate peace, freedom, and privacy, with unobstructed views of the Amstel, rolling meadows, and the glistening water—and all this just a 15-minute drive from the center of Amsterdam.
The main building, originally built in 2007, will be completely renovated and made sustainable between 2023 and 2025. This includes the installation of a heat pump, 20 solar panels, high-quality insulation, and modern amenities such as a charging point for an electric car. An opportunity to live in the countryside in an energy-efficient home with all the comfort and charm of a high-quality country house.
Layout
Ground floor
A spacious driveway leads to the entrance of the country house. The stone steps lead to an imposing front door, behind which is a spacious hall with a guest toilet and washbasin.
The elegant U-shaped living room has a classic fireplace and offers panoramic views of the surrounding nature and the Amstel River on three sides. Four double French doors give access to the covered veranda of no less than 40 m² – perfectly positioned for a phenomenal view.
The modern, luxurious handmade kitchen is semi-open and fitted with dark wood grain cabinets with black handles. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances from Miele (coffee machine, combi-oven, warming drawer), a Bosch dishwasher, and a large refrigerator with separate freezer.
The sturdy kitchen island, finished in leather and copper, forms the heart of the space and is equipped with a Boretti 7-burner gas stove with wok burner and large oven. A real eye-catcher is the copper Quooker tap with Cube system (2025) for boiling, chilled, and sparkling water, combined with a luxurious copper soap dispenser.
First floor
The upper floor has a spacious master bedroom with air conditioning and a custom-made dressing room with a smart storage system. The modern bathroom has a freestanding bath with designer taps, a luxurious washbasin with taps, and a spacious walk-in shower.
There is a separate toilet. In addition, this floor has a second spacious bedroom with built-in cupboards.
Basement / Garden level
The basement with natural light offers a surprising amount of space and light. There are currently two large rooms furnished as a bedroom and a fitness room. A third bedroom can easily be created in this space.
There is also a very spacious bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, and sink, a separate room for the sauna, and a wine room with climate control. This floor is ideal as a guest house, wellness room, or home office.
The Coach House
The detached coach house is partly furnished as an office, but could also serve perfectly as guest accommodation, a workspace, or an au pair apartment. It has its own entrance with toilet, a modern bathroom, and a large bedroom on the upper floor.
Garden and outdoor space
The architecturally landscaped garden offers several terraces, including a sun terrace directly on the water. In the summer of 2023, a large jetty will be built – perfect for mooring a boat. There is also a charging point for an electric car.
