We are proud to present "De Ark", a truly exceptional villa located at Meerwijklaan 1, in one of Bergen's most beautiful and sought-after residential settings. Nestled within the tranquil Park Meerwijk, this remarkable home offers an outstanding combination of privacy, character, generous living space and beautifully landscaped gardens, all just minutes from the vibrant village centre, the dunes and the North Sea beach.
From the moment you enter the park, the unique atmosphere of this special location becomes immediately apparent. A charming gatehouse welcomes you at the entrance, while a winding pathway through manicured hedges leads to the villa, hidden within its lush surroundings. Mature trees, colourful planting and multiple sunny terraces create a peaceful garden where you can enjoy complete privacy throughout the seasons.
The villa underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2002, carefully combining its original charm with the comfort and luxury expected of a contemporary family home. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a warm, inviting residence that is both elegant and practical.
The entrance hall provides access to the staircase, cloakroom and guest toilet before opening into the impressive living areas. The spacious living room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, featuring an inviting fireplace, several seating areas, a light-filled conservatory and the distinctive raised section known as the "wheelhouse." Large windows throughout the room create a seamless connection with the surrounding gardens, allowing natural light to flood the interior.
The generous kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and offers ample space for a large dining table, making it the perfect setting for everyday family life as well as entertaining guests. Its playful layout and wonderful garden views make this an especially enjoyable place to spend time.
On the first floor are three spacious bedrooms. The principal suite features a fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony overlooking the magnificent gardens and mature trees. This level also offers a spacious bathroom with bathtub, walk-in shower and double washbasin, a separate toilet, a dedicated laundry area and a second bathroom with shower and washbasin.
A loft provides additional storage space.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds surround the villa on all sides, creating a rare sense of peace and seclusion. Whether enjoying breakfast in the morning sun or relaxing on a warm summer evening, the garden offers a perfect setting for every moment of the day.
A fully insulated outbuilding provides practical storage for bicycles and garden equipment, while a separate insulated garage with electric door, toilet and private access via Broekbeeklaan offers additional convenience.
Completing the estate is the charming gatehouse at the entrance to the property. This delightful detached building is perfectly suited as a home office, studio, practice space or creative retreat.
"De Ark" is far more than a beautiful house; it is an extraordinary place to live. A home where tranquillity, space, nature and comfort come together in one of Bergen's most prestigious and picturesque locations.
We would be delighted to welcome you for a private viewing and let you experience the unique atmosphere of this exceptional property for yourself.
