Noord-Holland, Huizen, Netherlands

Quote owner:
“We purchased this farmhouse 35 years ago, half a lifetime ago. Back then, I thought: we'll move on in a few years. I couldn't have been more wrong. We became attached to the house, it fit us like a glove. We simply didn't want to leave. Now that we have arrived at a new stage in our lives, it's time for something different, and to let the house welcome a lovely new family. We have already tossed a coin in the wishing well..."

At the very heart of Huizen, within walking distance of the shops, health center and schools but also nearby the heathlands, woods and Gooimeer lake which is perfect for recreation, is this commanding, fantastically spacious monumental and welcoming farmhouse (listed national heritage property), with a recently completely renewed thatched roof (1995). The farmhouse is set on a generous plot spanning over 1,000 sqm with a sprinkler system and a private water well, the house itself spans a residential floor area of 455 sqm.
