Luxury Family Villa Surrounded by Nature – Less Than an Hour from Amsterdam

This exceptional detached luxury villa of approximately 398 m², less than an hour from Amsterdam provides a flexible layout featuring five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two living areas and two additional multifunctional spaces, across three floors. Multiple terraces and a large garden connect to a national park. Located right on the edge of one of the Netherlands’ most beautiful national parks, it is an ideal home for families seeking space, comfort, and connection. Imagine waking up to birdsong, with deer occasionally passing by your garden, yet being within a walking or biking distance to schools, supermarkets, healthcare facilities or a sports club.

Situated at the end of one of Kerckebosch’ most desirable streets, an award-winning residential area, this unique villa is architect-designed using a high-end shipping container concept. Finished with natural materials such as lime plaster and sheep wool insulation, the home combines striking design with a warm, healthy living environment. Sustainability and comfort go hand in hand here, with geothermal heating and cooling, underfloor climate control, solar panels, and an electric vehicle charging point outside the garage, ensuring both energy efficiency and future-ready living. The elevated living room offers uninterrupted views over heathland and woodland, with direct access to walking and cycling trails, perfect for families who enjoy the outdoors.

Layout: The property is entered through a welcoming hall on the ground floor, complete with cloakroom and a separate guest toilet. This main living level is centered around a generous open-plan kitchen living area. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors create a natural connection with the outdoors, opening onto a spacious terrace and flooding the interior with natural light, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor living experience.

From the hallway, three well-proportioned bedrooms are accessible. One-bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining two share a stylish family bathroom with a bathtub, ideal for comfortable family living.

An internal staircase leads down to the souterrain level, which is situated half above the ground. Thanks to its favorable positioning and large sliding patio doors, an abundance of natural daylight enters the space. This level offers a bright and versatile second living space, perfectly suited as a family room, home cinema, playroom or additional lounge. A bar area with connections for a full kitchen enhances flexibility and makes this floor particularly suitable for entertaining. Sliding doors provide direct access to a second generous terrace, ideal for family gatherings or outdoor dining.

This level further comprises a self-contained guest studio with a private bathroom and its own outdoor access, making it highly suitable for an au pair, visiting family or live-in help. In addition, there is a large multi-purpose space, currently set up as a home office but equally suitable as an artist’s studio or teenager’s retreat. The internal garage is accessible from this floor.

From the ground-floor living area, an modern open staircase leads to the first floor, which is entirely dedicated to a luxurious master suite of over 100 m². The landing features a bookshelf t with integrated desk, leading into a spacious walk-in closet and a high-end bathroom. The bathroom offers a true spa-like experience, featuring a walk-in rain shower (with steam function), a Villeroy & Boch whirlpool bathtub positioned beside a large window overlooking the surrounding forest, and double washbasins.

The master bedroom connects to a lounge or study area with a fireplace, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. An additional room, currently used as a yoga and meditation space, can also serve as a private office or practice room and provides access to a private balcony.

As the garden naturally flows into the surrounding park, it visually extends the property and creates a seamless connection with nature. The thoughtfully designed multiple levels of outdoor space offer a variety of settings for relaxation and entertaining, allowing the property to fully embrace every aspect of outdoor living.
