Connoisseurs see it immediately: Buitenplaats Valkenberg, built at the beginning of this century, together with its two coach houses forms a rare Masterpiece. A work of art you can live in.

Grosso modo, the property includes:

+ Main house
+ Coach house 1, a full house with several bedrooms and garage
+ Coach house 2, with two garages
+ 9,615 m² of own land

LOCATION
Situated by the idyllic Vecht, surrounded by stately country houses and greenery, the concept of 'relaxing' seems almost invented here.

Especially for those who want to escape the hectic city and business life after a busy day, this is therefore an extremely attractive proposition.

Not for nothing has the Vecht traditionally been a source of inspiration for numerous artists.

And in this respect, Buitenplaats Valkenberg is not exactly in the middle of nowhere. On the contrary, its central location in the Netherlands ensures the following travel distances:

+ Utrecht approx. 10 minutes
+ Amsterdam/Schiphol approx. 25 minutes
+ the Gooi approx. 20 minutes

And don't forget NS station Maarssen with fast connections to the Randstad. Moreover, Breukelen and Maarssen-Dorp are also nearby, with plenty of nice restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

BUITENPLAATS VALKENBERG
This country estate thereby uniquely brings together history and luxury with today's living comforts. The relatively young age of the property - after all, it is less than 25 years old - automatically means a high degree of insulation and a good structural condition. This is not always the case with older estates or country houses.
Moreover, the entire property is perfectly maintained in terms of both interior and exterior. With an extremely generous floor area totalling some 1,400 m² GFA (!) divided between the main house and the two accompanying coach houses, this Masterpiece offers an unparalleled, almost palatial living experience. Here, living becomes 'residing'.

The main house is prominent among all the greenery and space this country estate offers. Both you and your guests will express their appreciation for this fantastic ambiance again and again, sometimes out loud, other times in their minds.

In addition, by means of the two coach houses, this country estate has two additional accommodations, which can perfectly serve as guest accommodation, office space or hobby room. Both buildings were designed with the same care and high-quality finish, and offer many possibilities for privacy and multifunctional use. These extra spaces add to the versatility and luxurious character of the country estate, making it an ideal place for both living and working.

It is no coincidence that the River Vecht has historically served as a source of inspiration for countless artists.

BUITENPLAATS VALKENBERG
This country estate uniquely combines history and luxury with contemporary living comforts. The relatively young age of the property-less than 25 years old-ensures a high level of insulation and an excellent structural condition, something that cannot always be taken for granted with older estates.

With an exceptionally generous total gross floor area of approximately 1,400 m², spread across the main residence and the two coach houses, this Masterpiece offers an unparalleled, almost regal living experience. Here, living truly becomes residing.

The main residence is prominently positioned amid the greenery and spacious grounds of the estate. Both you and your guests will repeatedly-sometimes aloud, sometimes silently-express admiration for this extraordinary setting.

In addition, the two coach houses provide two additional accommodations, perfectly suited as guest residences, office space, or hobby rooms. Both buildings have been designed with the same care and high-quality finishes, offering ample privacy and multifunctional use.
