Description
DISCREETLY SITUATED COUNTRY ESTATE – HISTORIC PROTECTED HERITAGE AND LANDSCAPE ZONE – 422 m² – PRIVACY, SPACE AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEGANCE NEAR MAASTRICHT AND THE MARL / HILL REGION OF SOUTH LIMBURG
Set within a protected heritage and landscape zone, this exceptional country estate is situated discreetly in the rural outskirts, surrounded by nature and tranquillity. It forms a harmonious architectural composition around a monumental courtyard, meticulously renovated under architectural direction, with a timeless palette of materials and a serene, refined aesthetic throughout.
The estate comprises the main residence and its connected private wing (together 422 m²), an autonomous guesthouse, a studio with private access road, and an extraordinarily rare and officially listed (1759) Heritage “Bakehouse”, constructed in marlstone and unique in the region.
THE ESTATE – ABSOLUTE PRIVACY AND AN OPEN HORIZON
Designed for complete seclusion, the property offers the privacy normally associated with major European estates. Along one boundary, a tall, elegant row of slender evergreen conifer trees provides privacy, while the remaining sides open freely into the surrounding landscape. A low, softly undulating hedge, following the natural contours of the terrain, frames the far-reaching views and enhances the estate’s sense of openness. This subtle combination of privacy and expansive horizons is uncommon in the Netherlands.
THE COURTYARD – MONUMENTAL CALM AND ARCHITECTURAL CLARITY
Tall historic entrance gates lead into a striking, fully paved courtyard composed in a single refined material palette. Château gravel, a large French fountain and sight lines toward the rare marlstone windmill lend the space a quiet, timeless grandeur. The courtyard serves as the serene centre of the estate – a place where light, order, peace and quite converge.
THE MAIN RESIDENCE – TIMELESS MATERIALS AND SUBTLE LUXURY
The main residence is conceived around light, proportion and a strict architectural consistency. The spacious living kitchen, fitted with Gaggenau appliances, forms the heart of the home. The adjoining living area exudes understated luxury with generous windows, a modern wood stove, and direct access to both the courtyard and the garden terraces. Large anthracite tiles extend seamlessly outdoors, creating a unified interior–exterior composition. A study (or additional bedroom) on the ground floor and the elegant Golden Bathroom complete the ground level.
The Master Suite on the first floor offers exceptional tranquillity. A partially open floor–ceiling zone creates a sculptural play of height and light, allowing the upper and lower windows to illuminate one another. The bathroom, finished in betonfresco, is crisp, calm and perfectly proportioned.
THE SIDE WING – THREE HIGH-END PRIVATE SUITES
The connected side wing harbors three spacious suites, each featuring:
• its own bathroom in warm betonfresco
• refined materials
• generous Velux rooflight
• serene, contemporary design
With a seperate entrance, fully equipped kitchen, seperate circuit box, new roof and ceiling insulation and full double glazing, this wing functions as a complete residential entity – ideal for children, guests, family, au-pair, professional use or multi-generational living.
THE GUESTHOUSE – DISCRETE AND SELF-CONTAINED
Independently accessible via a private gate, the guesthouse offers full autonomy with its own terrace, complete facilities and air conditioning. Ideal for guests, visiting family, expats or as a private workspace.
THE STUDIO – PRIVATE ACCESS AND INSPIRING VIEWS
Accessed via its own paved road with parking, the studio/workshop features tall windows, framing views across garden and landscape. Fully serviced, it is perfectly suited as a studio, design space, consulting room or private office.
THE GARDENS – LIGHT, SPACE AND ARCHITECTURAL LANDSCAPING
The garden, designed with clarity and minimal maintenance in mind, includes:
• an elegant plunge pool
• a large natural pond
• fruit orchard
• château gravel and lawns
• native plant garden (roses intenational cultivars, hydrangeas, various trees and conifers) an exclusive landscaped garden design with a vibrant play of colors
• terraces finished in the same tiles as indoors, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection
• parking spaces at the rear of the grounds, accessible via a private access road
The estate borders a protected natural habitat, home to roe deer, badgers and the European hamster.
THE HERITAGE BAKEHOUSE – AN EXTRAORDINARY MONUMENT
