Nieuwkoop, Holandia

Our house, 640 m2, is stylish and cozy situated in an area called the green heart: green because of the nature and countryside, heart because of its central location equally close to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht (app. 40 min.) The natural beauties around consist of a wonderful lake which is partly suitable for swimming and boating and partly a nature reserve. Furthermore the closest beach is app. 35km west.
The house consists of a large living room with view on green fields occupied by geese, swans, donkeys, sheep, cows and horses and a rather curious Emu. Attached to the living area is a well equiped kitchen with professional cooker (we love cooking!). There is also a music studio on the ground floor with our second grand piano and a keyboard. The instruments can be played if treated with proper care. On the back of the house there is a big terrace with a little pier on the water, a wonderful place to sit, eat and drink as you can see on the photographs. In this garden there is also a picknick-table and a small, cozy breakfast area under the tree. By the water you can set up a hammock.
On the second floor is the spacious master bedroom with access to the balcony (south and warm), two children's bedrooms and a spacious double study with computers with available internet access. WiFi also available. The bathroom has just been renovated in 2020 and is modern, easy maintenance, with a comfortable walk-in shower and two sinks.
The attic was our children's paradise and can still be used as such by kids: lots of games, a ping-pong tablet a dart board and some instruments. It is so unpolished that nobody can do much harm. It is also the access to an extra nice guestroom with dubble bed and separate sink.
In front of the house there are three private parking spaces. Besides there is a shed for the bycicles (2 and a racing bike).
Our village is small and a perfect start for wonderful biking tours. Our house is located central and in a quiet neighbourhood. Shops are within less than 1 km. We would be glad to advise you on touristic attractions such as the unique line of windmills just outside the village and lots more depending on your interests.
