Rural charm, character, and freedom – unique countryside living just 10 minutes from Laren and Blaricum
At the end of a long driveway – shared only in part with two other residences – an electric gate opens to reveal your very own slice of paradise. Tucked away behind mature weeping willows lies this charming thatched farmhouse, set on approximately 1.1 hectares of land. With 264 m² of living space and two outbuildings (each approx. 40 m² – a former stable and a barn), this home invites you into a picture-perfect rural dream. The property also features a former outdoor riding arena with lighting.
Step inside to a spacious hallway that immediately feels warm and welcoming. At the front of the home, you’ll find a cozy study – perfect for peaceful remote work or curling up with a good book. Also on this level is a generous bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, complete with vanity, bathtub, walk-in shower, and laundry connections. A separate toilet is also located on the ground floor.
As you move further into the home, the back opens up to a surprisingly large and bright living room, where a fireplace sets the tone for cozy winter evenings. This space flows seamlessly into the dining area and modern open-plan kitchen, fitted with high-quality Miele built-in appliances – together forming the heart of the home with a view of the deep garden and vast landscape beyond. No painting can match the beauty of this view. A nearby utility room offers extra storage and convenience.
Upstairs, you'll find everything you need for family life or guests: a charming master bedroom with vaulted ceilings and built-in wardrobes, where waking up to sweeping views of the meadows ensures a tranquil start to your day. Two additional children’s bedrooms and a second bathroom (with shower, toilet, and vanity) complete the upper floor – providing space, comfort, and functionality for all, along with ample storage.
Outside, the true countryside lifestyle awaits. A large vegetable garden, two freestanding barns (one with former horse stables), and plenty of room for ponies, horses, or even a collection of classic cars. Whether you’re an animal lover, a hands-on hobbyist, or simply in search of space for your passions – this property offers endless possibilities.
In short, with a ground-floor bedroom, this home is perfect for a wide range of lifestyles – including multi-generational or semi-independent living.
And yes – with an energy label B, it’s also surprisingly comfortable and sustainable.
A rare place where privacy and freedom meet, and where the dream of rural living becomes reality.
