Langbroekerdijk 5

NSW LANDGOED RHIJNGAERDE ON A UNIQUE LOCATION ON THE EDGE OF DRIEBERGEN-RIJSENBURG

A few minutes from the village centres of Odijk and Driebergen-Rijsenburg on the Langbroekerdijk lies the beautiful Rhijngaerde estate. A grandiose in 2004 architecturally built and furnished country house with a plot area of 36,289 m². During construction, no expense was spared with regard to finishing, detailing and materials, resulting in a stunning result. This phenomenal newly built country house is in a unique location on the outskirts of Driebergen-Rijsenburg near the beautiful Kromme Rijn area and the vast forests and natural landscapes of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

Walking across your own estate, you are spectators to the diversity of vistas across the grassy landscapes, hear croaking frogs, see special birds and the many trees surround this beautiful plot. Deer come here to watch and you cast your rod in the Drieberg Lake, which is located in your garden landscape. All this makes this place a wonderful domain where peace, space, privacy and real outdoor life are a given.

This rare place is close to shops, schools, public transport, sports facilities and golf courses. The driveway to A12 motorway is about a five-minute drive away.

DESCRIPTION
GROUND FLOOR
You enter the property via the front door, where you enter a spacious hallway with bluestone floor. At the front of the house you will find the dining room and kitchen. This stately dining room has a classic herringbone floor and low fixed cupboards under the classic cross windows. The adjacent spacious kitchen has a hardstone countertop and floor and is equipped with all imaginable kitchen appliances including a 5-burner Falcon cooker with 2 ovens, a grill and a warming drawer.

On the other side of the hallway is the cosy living room, which also features classic herringbone flooring and fixed wall cabinets. The antique monumental fireplace completes the look. From the living room you have a beautiful view over the grassy meadows and trees. The double French doors take you from the living room to the veranda at the side of the house. Sitting on this veranda, whatever the season, you will enjoy the beautiful view and the setting evening sun.

Through the living room, you enter the sitting room with a beautifully timbered bookcase up to the ceiling with which this room can rightly be called a library. This room also lends itself well to dining with a large group of friends or family.

Work space
Adjoining the library is a pantry, a second entrance hall, a toilet room, a study and a second study or workshop on the attic floor. This makes the rooms extremely suitable for home practice or informal care. The second workspace on the attic floor has several skylights and fixed furniture.

DESCRIPTION
BASEMENT
The basement is currently divided into a hobby room, storage room, pantry and a wine cellar equipped with traditional wine racks, suitable for approximately 3,000 bottles. There is also a large room suitable for multiple purposes. The cellar is equipped with Pierre Bleue du Hainaut and underfloor heating. One of the cellar rooms has been prepared for a sauna/steam bath where a sump is available.

DESCRIPTION
1st FLOOR
From the hall, stairs lead to the first-floor landing. Here you will find the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and breathtaking views. A second bedroom, now used as a dressing room, features neat handmade wardrobes. The luxurious bathroom has a hard stone floor, a Jacuzzi, double sink and rain shower. There is also a separate toilet with fountain on this floor.
The high level of finish of the house is also underlined here by the use of herringbone flooring on the first floor.

DESCRIPTION
2nd FLOOR
The second floor houses a laundry room with sink unit and worktop. It is quite conceivable to turn this into a second bathroom. At the front and rear of the house are two spacious bedrooms with a ridge height of about 5 metres thanks to the attractive roof construction. On this floor is plenty of storage space as well as a technical room.

GARDEN
The monumental entrance gates provide access to the estate. The entrance gate is remote controlled and equipped with an intercom system. The yard offers parking space for several cars. The garden includes an orchard, vegetable garden and a large pond. This sleek mirror pond is equipped with a fully automatic filter so you don't have to worry about it.

Next to the orchard in the garden, a terrace jetty on Lake Drieberg has been built. Here you can enjoy your cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine. This terrace jetty can thus also serve as a landing stage for your canoe or rowing boat. The natural lake also offers the possibility of a natural swimming pool.

During the construction of this estate, much attention was paid to the redevelopment to preserve the area's character. This, by applying landscape elements such as planting pollard willows, creating ditches, an elongated pond, and by flattening the banks. In winter, you can enjoy skating on this pond. With this, the flora and fauna have become more attractive and the whole area has become low-maintenance.

ANNEXES
In the yard there is a traditional roofed barn in potted decking, suitable for multiple purposes. It is currently used as storage, parking space and as an attractive shelter due to the presence of an African Braai with electric rotisserie. This Braai can also be used as a cosy outdoor fireplace. This allows you to enjoy your favourite game and the lovely fire with family and friends at special times. The covered area offers space for your garden tools and wood storage.
