Whether you’re looking to live, work, or relax, this unique home offers it all. Once you pass through the remotely operated gate, a different world unfolds.
Feels Like a Detached Home
This two-storey villa is part of a distinctive cube house built in 1966. The developer himself moved into number 67 and sold number 65. The current owners carried out a major renovation in 2007, and in 2021 installed maintenance-free window frames with tilt-and-turn insulated safety glass. The exterior walls were also replastered. Around four years ago, the roof was renewed. Even better, there is an approved (transferable) permit in place for a 90m² extension, granted by the municipality of De Ronde Venen. A wonderful family home by the water, offering comfort and charm — where the exceptional location truly sets it apart.
UPPER FLOOR
Living Area & Roof Terrace
Let’s start on the upper level, the heart of the home. From here, you’ll enjoy the very best views of the surrounding water. The expansive living room opens onto the Vinkeveense Plassen through large glass doors at the rear, offering a continuous display of life on the water – boats, skiers, surfers, birds, and in the evening, stunning sunsets. A wide sliding door opens onto a large roof terrace with decking, an electric sunshade, and a safe glass balustrade. In a word, spectacular. The living room also features a modern fireplace (gas connection available).
Kitchen & Bedroom
The tasteful wood-look laminate floor continues seamlessly from the living room into the open kitchen. A long dining table fits beautifully between the two spaces. The sleek, modern kitchen features anthracite fronts, with a refined combination of handles, a matching backsplash, and a countertop – all finished in stainless steel. Off the kitchen is a generous bedroom. This floor also includes a guest toilet with a washbasin in the entry area.
GROUND FLOOR
Sleeping & Bathing
Downstairs, the spacious entry hall with open staircase leads to the main living level. The master bedroom at the rear features a walk-in closet and French doors opening onto the generous garden and the covered terrace with an open fireplace. At the front is a second large bedroom, complete with electric shutters. There’s also a third room currently used as an office. The bathroom is timelessly styled in white and grey and includes a bathtub, wide vanity with cabinet and mirrored storage, and a wall-mounted toilet. A technical room is also located on this floor.
Garage
The spacious internal garage, with double doors, serves as a laundry room, bike storage, and general utility space. It connects directly to the entrance hallway. The garage could easily be repurposed if desired. Outside, the paved driveway offers parking for several vehicles, and across the street, also on private land, there’s space for at least six more cars.
Boathouse & Conservatory
At the back of the generous plot lies a wooden boathouse with an electric roller door and a hoisting system, located directly on a canal. Attached to the side is a large conservatory with sliding glass walls on three sides, providing a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Electricity, water, drainage, and heaters make this a comfortable space for use in all seasons. The property borders a ring canal. A wooden footbridge leads to the expansive grass field and wooded area on the other side, owned by the water board. For a symbolic fee, this land can be rented, provided the tenant handles the maintenance. Management of the ring canal itself remains the responsibility of the water board.
ABOUT THE AREA
Vinkeveen
During the boating season, Vinkeveen comes alive. The village has a supermarket, bakery, butcher, pharmacy, fashion store, and several charming restaurants, including The Harbour Club, located just at the entrance of your street. Primary and secondary schools are available in both Vinkeveen and nearby Abcoude, each within cycling distance from the home. Vinkeveen also has a local football club and a very active tennis club, as well as a sailing school that organizes events regularly.
Boating
How wonderful to go directly from your boathouse or jetty out onto the water. Within a minute you can reach the open Vinkeveense Plassen via the canal. This lake system, also connected to the Loosdrechtse Plassen, the picturesque Vecht River, and further on to Utrecht, is ideal for day trips. A boat outing to Amsterdam is always a pleasure. Moor somewhere for a drink or dinner, or do your grocery shopping in Vinkeveen – all by boat. This villa is the perfect home base for it all. Or hop on a bike and explore the countryside. The Vinkeveense Plassen feature 12 sand islands and hundreds of small plots of land (legakkers), home to a wide variety of bird species. The area combines nature and recreation in perfect harmony, with sailing, diving, waterskiing, surfing, and swimming all part of daily life. Did you know the swimming water here is among the cleanest in the Netherlands?
Accessibility
Via the nearby A2 motorway (exits Vinkeveen or Abcoude), both Amsterdam (15 minutes) and Utrecht (25 minutes) are quickly and easily reached by car.
