Noord-Holland, Schoorl, Netherlands

To discover new worlds, you don’t have to travel far. Sometimes, the extraordinary is closer than you think. At Duinweg 65 in Schoorl, we are proud to offer a rare country house – a place where peace, history, and nature come together, allowing you to truly unwind.

A long forest path leads you to this striking property, built in 1935 using 17th-century materials and designed by architect Royaards. The house exudes character and history: robust fireplaces – currently not functional but eligible for renovation – antique elements such as solid oak beams and floors, and clay-plastered walls that create a pleasant indoor climate and promote restful sleep. Here, you experience the luxury of silence, space, and privacy, surrounded by the scent of the forest, the gentle rustling of trees, and the songs of countless birds – this is truly a bird lover’s paradise.

The generous plot of over 7,000 m² is a haven of tranquility, entirely enclosed by a moat with multiple dune streams, and landscaped with unique groups of trees in a thoughtfully designed pattern. In addition to the main house, you’ll find a separate, fully functional guest house and several charming outbuildings and covered spaces, making this property a truly unique ensemble. Whether you’re looking to relax, find inspiration, entertain guests, enjoy a cup of tea in the lovely tea pavilion, or bake a pizza in your very own clay outdoor oven – this country home offers it all.

Let us take you inside the main residence. The ground floor welcomes you with a bright entrance, an open staircase, and a toilet. The kitchen, utility room, and cellar offer plenty of possibilities. The attached office is a pleasant and inspiring space. The garden-side living room features a charming fireplace, while the front living room includes a second fireplace and a raised alcove.

Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a modern bathroom finished in tadelakt, complete with a toilet, bathtub, sink, and shower. It’s also wonderful to see how the original beams have been left visible, adding to the authentic atmosphere.

This is a rare opportunity to live in a place where time and nature take center stage – a unique combination of history, comfort, and freedom. A place to recharge, to enjoy, and to gain fresh perspective. Welcome home to Duinweg in Schoorl. We would be delighted to offer you a personal tour.
