Amidst greenery, on a quiet road in the countryside of Schijf, lies this exclusive villa. Designed and built in 2012 with vision, love, and meticulous attention to detail. What began as an empty plot and a dream on paper has grown into a sustainable, well-conceived, and future-proof home. With 75 solar panels, an innovative heat pump, home automation, fully equipped stables for three horses, a garden resembling a park, and a large natural pond. Everything is just right down to the smallest detail.
Living here is a conscious choice. For quality, peace, and space. For birds singing in the morning, owls at night, and a view that stretches all the way to the Rucphense Heide. Set on 2.5 hectares of private land, there is room for everything: living, working, relaxing, gardening, keeping animals, or starting a vegetable garden. The villa is beautifully tucked into the landscape, offering complete privacy. Wherever you are inside or outside it feels like a private paradise.

The living room, dining room, and conservatory all offer views and access to the garden. The living room is understated and warm, with garden views and a fireplace that often burns. Air conditioning is discreetly built into the roof, as it is throughout the house. The living room flows into the dining area, which is bathed in daylight thanks to large windows. It’s a perfect space to gather at the table or outside thanks to French doors leading directly to the terrace, where the residents prefer to spend sunny days.
Adjacent to the living room is the conservatory: a bright space with French doors opening onto another terrace. Indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly here. This space is frequently used whether for morning coffee in the sun, a good conversation, or simply sitting and enjoying the view of the natural pond. Insect screens allow fresh air to flow in without disturbing the peace with mosquitoes or flies.
The fully equipped kitchen, crafted from solid oak, is the beating heart of the house. At the center is a large kitchen island, spacious enough for three people to cook simultaneously without getting in each other’s way. The countertop is made of robust Belgian bluestone; the lower cabinets feature continuous top drawers, all in custom-made solid oak. The kitchen is equipped with everything: induction, gas, teppanyaki, wok burner, oven, combination microwave, built-in coffee machine, freezer, refrigerator, and a Quooker for instant boiling water. All appliances are seamlessly integrated, with ample workspace and storage. A practical addition: a TV screen in the kitchen allows residents to stay connected to news or entertainment while cooking.
Two bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom are located on the ground floor. The spacious master bedroom includes French doors to the garden, air conditioning, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is elegantly finished with dual walk-in showers, home automation for music and lighting, and a separate toilet. The custom-designed walk-in closet connects both the bedroom and bathroom in a curved flow, with dedicated hanging and shelving areas, all finished in natural stone and oak. The second bedroom on the ground floor formerly a study is a pleasant, quiet space that still works perfectly as a home office.
The first floor offers three spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. Almost every room features insect screens, air conditioning, plenty of daylight, and garden views. There is a second bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and double washbasin ideal for children or guests. The consistent aesthetic continues here, with natural stone finishes and custom oak cabinetry throughout. There’s also a separate toilet with a custom unit, and smart storage solutions hidden behind made-to-measure cabinets in the same warm style.
A retractable staircase leads to a large, walkable attic, perfect for storage such as holiday items, archives, or sports equipment.
Below the house is a fully equipped basement level, where daylight enters generously via clever light wells. The driveway to the double garage features heated tracks that activate automatically in cold or wet weather. Two electric doors provide access to the garage, which includes a drainage system with a dual pump to keep everything dry, even during heavy rain.
Connected to the garage is a practical laundry room with custom cabinets and a separate shower perfect after exercise. The adjacent space serves as a mancave and includes daylight, a bar, fitness area, and TV. It’s an ideal spot to relax or entertain guests. This area also houses the central vacuum system, water softener, and pressure booster, ensuring that multiple people can shower simultaneously without issue.
The wellness area features a traditional sauna, an infrared cabin, and a second shower. The ambiance is warm and cohesive, with natural stone tiles and custom oak cabinets that match the rest of the home’s interior.
Behind the home stretches a landscape of fruit trees, butterfly bushes, shaded meadows, and an equestrian facility that’s truly impressive. There are three spacious stables, including a mare stable, a 60x20 outdoor arena (partially Meulendijks footing), a solarium with showers, a tack room with toilet and kitchenette, a manure pit, hay storage, and zoned irrigation systems. Everything is thoughtfully designed and in excellent condition. The fencing is safe, and the entire setup is low maintenance.
The garden, yard, and outdoor living space span over two hectares. Designed by a landscape architect, the garden wraps around the house like a green park. At the front, you’ll notice the baked bricks, pruned cloud trees, and lime trees. Atmospheric lighting is installed throughout and connected to the home automation system. If the alarm is triggered, outdoor lighting automatically activates.
To the left of the villa is a fenced half-hectare meadow, designated for the horses. The area is enclosed with wooden fencing and electric wire, and features its own irrigation system. Shady trees throughout the meadow provide comfort on warm days.
At the back of the house are several terraces, offering sun or shelter at all times of day. There is a natural pond teeming with life, a garden house with utility connections, a kitchenette, and insulation easily convertible into independent living quarters. The irrigation system is computer-controlled and automatically waters the grounds using a deep well that provides ample water for all zones. Fruit trees and bushes form a dedicated orchard area with apples, pears, raspberries, and berries ready to be picked. Further back lies a second one-hectare pasture with outdoor arena, wooden fencing, electric wire, and its own irrigation system. The entire property is fully enclosed ideal for pets and even the path along the property is privately owned.
Sales Conditions
Measurement Instruction NEN2580
The measurement instruction is based on the NEN2580 standard and is intended to provide a consistent way to indicate usable floor area. However, discrepancies in measurement outcomes may still occur due to differences in interpretation, rounding, or limitations during measurement. Ultimately, the principle remains: “what you see is what you buy,” and the object information is of secondary importance.
Legally Binding Purchase Only After Signing
A verbal agreement between the private seller and private buyer is not legally binding. A valid sale is only established once both parties have signed the purchase agreement. This follows Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. A confirmation by email or a draft agreement does not constitute a legally binding sale.

As Agnes Tomesen Real Estate is affiliated with the NVM, the model purchase agreement established by NVM, VBO, the Consumers’ Association, and the Homeowners’ Association is used. This agreement includes a clause requiring a deposit or bank guarantee equal to 10% of the purchase price.
