Noord-Brabant, Etten-Leur, Netherlands

A home like no other. Just imagine: waking up every day in a villa that truly has it all. Built in 2012 and completely renovated and extended just three years ago, it offers the very best in modern luxury and comfort. With energy label A, a thoughtful layout, and set on an expansive plot of 12,080 m², this residence is both impressive and inviting. The park-like garden lets you experience every season, offering complete privacy while still being within easy reach of Breda. Children can safely cycle to school, while you return to an environment that instantly brings peace of mind. It’s the perfect balance between country living and city convenience—perhaps even the most beautiful villa in Etten-Leur and beyond.

Ground floor with kitchen-diner, garden room, and home-office potential
As is customary in Brabant, the back door has become the everyday entrance. You step into a hallway with custom-built wardrobes and the second staircase to the upper floor. From here you access the office and the kitchen-diner. It is the beginning of a house where every detail has been thoughtfully designed.

The kitchen-diner forms the heart of the farmhouse and is a true showpiece. The more than eight-meter-long kitchen wall and the large cooking island with a composite countertop provide abundant workspace and an impressive appearance. Outfitted with a Bora cooktop with downdraft system, Quooker, and double dishwashers, everything is designed with comfort and ease of use in mind. The tall cabinet wall houses both a combination oven and a combination steam oven, plus a dedicated coffee corner with extra storage. Everything is custom-made and smartly arranged.

The garden room is where the family now loves to spend time. Thanks to the high ceiling and the fully opening glass façade, indoor and outdoor flow seamlessly together, making the garden feel like an extension of the home. The gas fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere, while the sliding doors allow for true outdoor living. The original living room, now set up as a TV room with dining area, also has a gas fireplace and provides another space for relaxation or togetherness. Together, these rooms make the house flexible and inviting, offering plenty of opportunities to shape the living experience to your own preferences.

At the front of the villa is a spacious room with a large glass façade overlooking the front garden and pond. Currently used as an office, its location and layout also make it perfect as a home practice or as a ground-floor bedroom. Directly adjacent is the utility room, making it easy to create a bathroom here. With its own entrance from the parking area, this space offers abundant possibilities.

Upper floor with grand master suite and elegant bathroom
The first floor is accessible via two staircases. Upstairs, the height and round windows immediately stand out. The master bedroom has the feel of a luxury hotel suite, with parquet flooring, shutters, air conditioning, bespoke wardrobes, and views over the 1.2-hectare plot. A spacious walk-in dressing room adjoins it, along with a second, smaller walk-in closet that could also serve as an extra bedroom.

The bathroom (2022) exudes hotel luxury with elegant marble-look walls, copper accents, and a beautiful freestanding bathtub. There is a large walk-in shower with rain and hand shower, a floating toilet, and a custom vanity with double sinks and mirrors. Thanks to the round windows and dormer, the room is filled with light and offers lovely views of the greenery.

Also on this floor are two additional full-sized bedrooms, currently used together as a combined lounge and sleeping area. A practical storage room with central heating system (Nefit, 2013) and laundry chute completes the level.

Basement with gym, sauna, and home cinema
Beneath the house lies a basement that offers surprising versatility. Originally designed with a swimming pool, it is now arranged as a spacious gym but can easily be converted back—the equipment and systems are still present. Thanks to a large window, there is natural light and garden access here as well. In addition to a shower and separate toilet, you will find a Finnish sauna, bar, home cinema, and cozy sunken lounge. Practicality has also been considered, with a tiled laundry room with laundry chute and cupboards, a storage room, and a technical room with all installations for pool, underfloor heating, and central heating (Nefit, 2013). From children’s parties to movie nights and swimming sessions, this space is the ultimate place for fun, relaxation, and flexibility.

Park-like garden with terraces, privacy, and seasonal charm
Surrounding the villa is a landscaped, park-like garden, fully fenced and offering complete freedom to wander and discover new corners. Expansive lawns, mature trees, a rear pond, and a second pond at the front give the garden a natural character, with the sound of flowing water and the changing seasons always present. In winter, you see everything come back to life; in summer, it is a lush green oasis where squirrels, hares, pheasants, and birds roam. Thanks to the secure fencing, dogs can run freely, while privacy and safety are guaranteed. The grounds are also equipped with thermal camera surveillance.

Close to the house are several terraces, a jacuzzi, and an outdoor shower, with the covered patio off the garden room standing out with its rounded shapes that echo the villa’s architecture. Traditional awnings reinforce the rural character while providing shade where needed. There is space for hobby animals, a glamping tent near the pond, and apple and pear trees adding a playful touch. Practical convenience is abundant too: a shed with irrigation system, a carport for two vehicles, an electric entrance gate with video intercom, and ample on-site parking.

Sales conditions
Measurement instruction NEN2580
The Measurement Instruction is based on NEN2580. Its purpose is to ensure a uniform way of measuring to give an indication of usable floor area. Differences in measurement outcomes cannot be entirely excluded due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during measurement. The basic principle remains: “what you see is what you buy”, and the property information is of lower priority.

Legally binding purchase agreement only upon signing
An oral agreement between the private seller and the private buyer is not legally binding. A purchase becomes legally valid only once the purchase agreement has been signed by both seller and buyer. This derives from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. An email confirmation of an oral agreement or a draft version of the purchase contract is likewise not considered legally binding.

Deposit or bank guarantee
Since Agnes Tomesen Real Estate is affiliated with the NVM, the standard purchase agreement used is the model agreement established by the NVM, Vastgoed Nederland, the Consumers’ Association, and the Homeowners’ Association. This agreement includes a standard clause requiring a deposit or bank guarantee equal to 10% of the purchase price.
