Unique living in a piece of history – with comfort, character, and chickens (if you like)
Welcome to this charming monumental farmhouse from the 18th century, where character and comfort blend effortlessly. Set on a generous plot of approx. 3,500 m², surrounded by greenery, peace, space, and sweeping views, this is a place where you can truly take a deep breath.
The origins of this farmhouse go back to around 1786, when its first resident started a tailor’s workshop here. Since then, it has been lovingly extended and adapted, resulting in a comfortable, well-maintained home with an abundance of light and space. With an energy label C (and 41 solar panels!), this grande dame is surprisingly sustainable for her age.
Living with atmosphere and possibilities
The house offers 4 to 5 bedrooms, two cellars, a modern kitchen (2022, featuring an electric AGA cooker), and a cozy living room with fireplace. From both the kitchen and the living room, you step straight onto the sun-drenched southwest-facing terrace. Here, you can enjoy long hours of sunshine and the beauty of the garden.
The raised room overlooking the polder makes a fantastic study, complete with a large fireplace and its own entrance. Beneath this room lies one of the two cellars, currently in use as a spacious laundry room. Upstairs, you’ll find even more space: 4 bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a separate toilet, and even a traditional box bed for those who like to keep things extra cozy.
Guesthouse, hay barn, and a garden to get lost in
As if that weren’t enough, the property also includes a detached, multifunctional “bakehouse” – complete with kitchenette, shower, toilet, and a charming mezzanine sleeping area. Perfect for guests, a home office, an au pair, or a live-in caregiver.
The hay barn currently serves as covered bike storage, but the space can be adapted to your wishes. And the garden? Not only beautifully landscaped with clear sight lines, but also ideally positioned for the sun. At the back, you’ll find the solar panels and a wooden shed with a canopy – ideal for your garden tools and/or hobby projects.
Location, location, location
Eemnes offers primary schools, an international school, excellent public transport connections, sports clubs, and quick access to major roads. Perfect for those who want to live rurally without losing touch with the city.
Sometimes a house speaks louder than a thousand words. This farmhouse is such a house. Spacious, atmospheric, historic – and above all, extraordinary.
You are warmly invited to experience it for yourself. But beware: most who walk in, never want to leave.
