Haaften (municipality of West Betuwe) is located in the Tielerwaard on the river Waal. The quiet village is 15 car minutes from 's-Hertogenbosch and 30 car minutes from Utrecht. The village offers a complete shopping center for daily groceries, a tennis and a soccer club, an ice rink and a multifunctional center with public library, playgroup and two elementary schools. Haaften is a beloved village with a non-oppressive social cohesion, where now many Randstedelingen have also settled. The village lies in the bowl of the Waalband dike on the north bank of the river Waal. A footpath runs from the farmhouse to this Waalbandijk. From there it is a few minutes' walk to De Crobsche Waard, a 77-hectare nature reserve open to the public that consists of an alternation of ponds, swampy forests and wet farmland.
The area is popular with hikers and cyclists because of its scenic rural trails and proximity to the river. For more extensive facilities and amenities, residents can use nearby towns such as Geldermalsen, Tiel or Zaltbommel.

First floor layout:
Through the electric remote controlled gate is the farmhouse to reach. On site is ample space for parking several cars.
The original front door is located centrally in the front house but it is no longer used. The daily entrance is on the driveway side. The entrance is spacious and furnished with closets and a toilet. From the adjacent hallway is access to the living room. This sunny room with many skirted windows, flanked by interior shutters, breathes -with the almost three-meter high beamed ceiling- a pleasant atmosphere. In addition to the luxurious ceramic floor with underfloor heating, there is a natural stone fireplace with an open gas fire. In the living room are two passages that offer a view of the adjacent dining kitchen. This space offers access to the south-facing terrace through double French doors. Three mature Plane trees act as natural umbrellas there in the summer.
The kitchen is furnished with a luxurious island with breakfast bar, granite countertops and high-quality, recently updated appliances.
On a central corridor dividing the back house in two, at the end are two French doors that open out under the Gelderland overhang. The sheltered patio is the favorite place to start the day in the morning sun.
On the north side of the hallway is the master bedroom with double patio doors, closets and an attached bathroom. This bathroom is furnished with a large corner bathtub, walk-in shower, two sinks, toilet and bidet. On the south side of the hallway are two bedroom/workrooms and a utility room. In the back house is further a 2nd bathroom with shower, sink and the white goods connections.
Layout second floor:
This floor has two entrances. In the front house, the staircase leads to a beautiful, bright room which is furnished as a library.
The skylights provide a sea of light. Adjacent to the library is a second living room, studio, TV room; just a few functions you could assign to that 60m2. On the other side of the library is another bedroom with adjacent 3rd bathroom. This is equipped with a large shower, sink and the
4th toilet.
From the central corridor in the back house a staircase leads to the first floor. Under the insulated roof are two more beautiful bedrooms. Through three skylights there is a view of the garden and surroundings. Both rooms are wonderfully bright and have plenty of storage space.
Details:
This attractive and ready to move in T-farm is in a lovely quiet location, on a car-free and dead-end street. Through a walking path is the Waalbandijk accessible. The location is an excellent base for a walk with the dog, a stroll through the floodplains or by (racing) bike towards Gorinchem or Nijmegen. The A2 freeway can be reached by car within 6 minutes.
Accessibility is excellent, as Utrecht can be reached in 30 minutes and Eindhoven Airport in 40 minutes. The farmhouse is not only well maintained, but above all comfortable. All hardwood windows have HR glazing, walls and floors are insulated and on the insulated roof are no less than 46 solar panels. Together with the Nefit heat pump and 2 high-efficiency boilers, in combination with underfloor heating on the entire first floor, this ensures sustainable comfort. The farmhouse also guarantees safe living and is equipped with burglar-proof locks and hinges and an extensive alarm system with alarm notification.
The double insulated garage of 42m2 offers space for several cars and has a loft and electricity.
The low maintenance garden is landscaped with large terraces on the south and east, a large lawn with mature (fruit) trees, hedges and flowering ground cover.
