Lekdijk 75

A MASTERPIECE ON THE LEK

On the banks of the river Lek rises Veerhuis 'Welgelegen' (1875): a listed Riverfront Estate where history, scale and contemporary comfort come together naturally. With a living area of approx. 450 m² including two independent guest houses, a private beach and 4,240 m² of private land, this country estate offers a rare degree of freedom in one of the most open and peaceful riverfront locations.

MONUMENTAL ALLURE, CAREFULLY MODERNISED
This national monument was integrally renovated and preserved in 1999, while retaining its architectural identity. Authentic six-pane windows, ornate moulded facades and a stately entrance define the character; installations and technology meet today's requirements (energy label C, which is rare for national monuments like this one).

Also on the property are a double garage with independent studio and a separate guest house. The layout offers exceptional flexibility - suitable for lodgers, studio, home office or multi-generational living, e.g. for live-in parents or a child living at home.

An impression:

WELCOME TO FOUR HOUSE 'WELGELEGEN'
Behind the remote-controlled ornamental gate, a private world of peace and quiet unfolds. The long driveway, flanked by fruit trees and grand nature, leads over gravel and clinker paving to the double garage. Generous parking and a charging facility for electric vehicles are integrated as a matter of course.

ENTRANCE
The reception hall with black and white natural stone tiling is the central point of the house and provides access to the toilet, study and living room. Double glass doors overlook the elegant semicircular staircase, subtly incorporated into the living space. The curved wall with niches introduces an architectural detail that recurs further down the house.

WORKING ROOM
Located on the south-west corner is a bright study with original six-pane windows facing south and west. The parquet floor enhances the warm, presentable feel.

LIVING ROOM
The living room of approx. 95 m² impresses with its size and light. Large windows frame the river landscape like a living tableau. The fireplace is the natural focal point; double doors connect the interior directly to terrace and garden.

A charming east-facing bay window and the characteristic six-pane windows provide a pleasant spread of light. The wood-burning stove with classic fireplace mantle offers intimate seating, while the rear windows guarantee panoramic views of the Lek.

KITCHEN
Adjacent is the kitchen, visually connected to the living space. A playful little bar with two stools, a subtle level difference and the semi-circular wall with niches give it its own signature. The parquet floor brings cohesion and warmth.

The semi-open kitchen is at the rear of the house, slightly elevated above the cellar, and enjoys abundant natural light through windows facing west and with direct views of the river.

The country-style bespoke kitchen, fitted with Belgian hardstone and flush island, is equipped with high-quality appliances and designed for both everyday use and representative receptions. The cooking area with impressive fireplace and extractor hood, a stainless steel 6-burner gas hob with large oven, microwave, stainless steel fridge-freezer and dishwasher forms the functional heart. Dark antique tiling gives the room a timeless base.

Adjacent is a practical storage room, suitable for washing machine and dryer.

BASEMENT
A functional storage space.

1st FLOOR
The beautiful staircase leads to the spacious first floor with landing, separate toilet and five bedrooms (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).

The master bedroom with dressing room overlooks the river and has an en suite bathroom with corner bath, shower cubicle, toilet and double washbasin. The second bathroom is also generous and equipped with bathtub, shower and double sink.

2nd FLOOR
On this floor are two more bedrooms (6 and 7), both with skylights, one of which has a closet.

GUEST'S STAY AND STUDIO
Guest house 1

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, full bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and a living room of about 22 m² with double doors to the terrace with river views. The first floor comprises a second bedroom and a second full bathroom.

Guest house 2 annex garage

Adjacent to the double garage is an independent studio (2012). On the ground floor: entrance with toilet, living/working room and bedroom (1). The first floor offers a living room of about 35 m², kitchen, additional bedroom (2), bathroom and storage space.

GARDEN AND OUTSIDE LIFE
The garden offers unobstructed views over the floodplain and has no immediate neighbours - a rare degree of privacy. The private beach is an exclusive extension of living comfort: morning coffee by the water, sunset dining, a mooring for a sloop.

The natural environment is rich in flora and fauna and is a breeding ground for cormorants, spoonbills, storks and kingfishers, among others.

The plot comprises approximately 4,240 m² of own land, directly adjacent to the Lek River. Additional land is in use through government land.

A special historical aspect is the ferry right still in force, which also makes approximately 2,000 m² of land on the other side of the Lek part of the property.
