Description
A work of art can take on many forms. Some see ultimate beauty in a timeless painting, others in the pen strokes that turn a sports car into a classic or in the perfect composition of grapes that produce a wine of exceptional quality. That a work of art can also come in the form of a home is proven in this unique detached villa.
It is with pride that we present this ultimate detached villa to you. Unique in terms of location thanks to its own water and no less than two private islands in the “Stille Plas”, with an unparalleled living area, finishes and amenities including an indoor and outdoor pool, this detached villa embodies the perfect living experience in the Loosdrecht lake district.
Discreetly hidden behind mature vegetation and understated entrance gates is your own private paradise. The driveway leads you, via the beautifully landscaped garden and past the tennis court, to the impressive porched entrance. The double front door open to the welcoming, organically designed reception hall. As soon as you walk into this home, it's crystal clear, living here is golden.
Follow the beautiful sight line to the fireplace and beyond where the dining room is situated and imagine the memorable evenings you will have here with family and friends: seated at a beautifully set table against the backdrop of the terrace, the garden, the jetty and Loosdrecht lakes beyond.
The living kitchen checks every box. Even the most discerning chef will feel right at home here. The heart of the kitchen is formed by the impressive island with a marble worktop with pit cookers and teppanyaki plate. All built-in appliances are by Miele.
The other wing of the house accommodates the spacious living room. The living room offers beautiful views of the gardens at the front, side and back of the villa. The organic shape of the living room makes it feel spacious and simultaneously intimate. A wonderful place to sit by the fireplace in the evening.
A natural stone staircase leads from the reception hall to the first floor. Double French doors on the landing open to the primary bedroom. Although the term bedroom doesn't do the space justice - this room is a genuine dream, not in the least due to the stunning vistas of the “Stille Plas” nature reserve, a view that you will wake up to every day.
The adjoining bathroom is designed for ultimate relaxation. A true calm space in a busy life. Its generous dimensions and high-end materials make this a bathroom fit for the best hotels in the world. And, of course, once again a beautiful view - both from the windows and of the impressive fresco painting. A unique detail that is another reflection of the abundant attention and love that went in to designing this villa.
Also on the first floor: not one but two spacious dressing rooms with custom built-ins. One of the dressing rooms has a private bathroom. Haute couture you can live in. The first floor also features one of the villa's two laundry rooms.
The first floor is currently laid out in such a way as to create a generous private floor for the owners. The floorplan on this level can be altered to easily accommodate multiple (bed)rooms with en-suite bathrooms (2), should this be desired.
Follow the stairs down to the first basement floor, where a world of opulence unfolds that reveals itself only to you and your guests. This first basement floor is entirely dedicated to the balance between exercise and relaxation in ultimate luxury.
Take a dip in the generous pool or take advantage of the many five-star spa facilities including a shower room with tanning light, steam room, sauna with infrared, ice bath with a waterfall, cryotherapy room, foot baths, Jacuzzi or tanning beds. The spa also features a pantry with a refrigerator and Quooker. The spa offers views of and direct access to the truly beautifully designed outdoor infinity pool with unique glass front. Because the outdoor pool is lower relative to the garden, the outdoor pool offers optimum privacy. The spa with the indoor pool accesses a large separate storage room on the second basement floor.
Furthermore, the first basement floor features a massage room and a dressing/shower room, toilets and a state-of-the-art fitness room with a direct view of the spa area and swimming pools.
The first basement floor also offers direct access to the more than spacious indoor garage. Here, even the most enthusiastic car connoisseur can see his wildest dreams come true. The garage offers room for several cars and has a separate toilet, a dog shower and a car elevator that leads to the second basement floor.
Speaking of the second basement floor, this floor is all about balancing work and pleasure. From the hall you can access a beautiful, secured, wine cellar, separate toilet, pantry/laundry room, storage room with archive safe, the technical rooms and a "cave". This area currently has a beautiful bar with a seating area, an office with room for a large conference table and stage for your favorite car, accessible by aforementioned car elevator. The major surprise on this floor is the full cinema which is hidden behind an automatic sliding door. Watching your favorite series or movie is a unique experience every time.
The villa is of course equipped with a state-of-the-art security system, hi-fi systems, air treatment system, air conditioning and only the best in lighting. Everything can be controlled via the home automation system.
Back on the ground floor, you have access from all sides of the villa to the commanding garden, which is completely oriented to the south. Directly adjacent to the kitchen/lounge is a beautiful terrace, ideal for the first cappuccino of the day in the morning sun. Prefer a more active start to the day? Then you can begin your day in the front yard on the fully illuminated tennis court. Drinks can be enjoyed on the stunning terrace overlooking the outdoor pool or right by the water on the panoramic jetty with a jacuzzi.
The villa has a beautiful newly built and completely detached guesthouse with a living room that has sliding doors for a seamless connection with the beautiful garden, a full kitchen, a bedroom with air conditioning and a bathroom with shower, double vanity and toilet. The first floor features a sleeping loft with a beautiful view of the water. A dream spot for summer sleepovers by (grand) children. Also at the front of the villa, directly behind the entrance gate, is also a detached doghouse with a storage room.
The fact that every room in the villa and every point in the garden offers an enchantingly beautiful view of the Loosdrechtse Plassen will no longer surprise you. And if you want to get even closer, simply go to your own boathouse and the private jetty with steps that lead into the water of the lake. Stille Plas lake is perfect for sailing, and leads directly to the third lake where you can moor your boat at one of the many waterfront eateries or cafes or set course towards Vecht River.
Loosdrecht itself is a highly sought-after residential area thanks to its many water sports facilities, varied range of (specialty) stores and restaurants and cafes. Bustling boutique shopping street Gijsbrecht van Amstel in Hilversum is only a few minutes' drive away. The highway can be accessed via nearby Breukelen, with quick connections to Utrecht, Amsterdam and Schiphol international airport.
We look forward to welcoming serious candidates for an extensive personal tour of the property, and kindly ask that you bring your own NVM realtor to the viewing.
