Kijfhoek 39

Pure luxury in a unique location in the Randstad conurbation

The lush thatched roofs combined with the shutters, the brickwork with cutting joint and the partially pot lidded facade give this robust farmhouse its rural character!
Where can you find an idyllic and quiet location just around the corner from Rotterdam? A place where you can relax completely. Drieklomp brokers and stewards has found a unique location with a fantastic farmhouse for you.

In the outskirts of Zwijndrecht, on "De Devel" and next to the Kijfhoekkerk with a rich history (1368). The location is unique! Away from the motorway: peace and quiet and nature dominate here. Yet you are a stone's throw away from the Drechtsteden and only 17 km from the center of Rotterdam. The A16 motorway is directly accessible and is your fast connection to the rest of the Netherlands. And although we always say that location is the most important, we can safely say that the plot with a beautiful renovated farmhouse on it competes for the first place.

The original house from 1863 is sublimely merged with the secret annex, which used to house the animals and tractors. The former agricultural function has been abandoned once and for all. From 2010, the farm as a whole new built and in 2013 everything is completed. A perfect residential function has come in its place. The sustainable materials are carefully selected - some even with a bit of history -. Everything has been carefully selected and where possible the character of the farm has been preserved. Throughout the house is visible that a warm, rural chic atmosphere has been strived for. The living area is approx. 910 sq.m. and has a capacity of approx. 3,425 m³.

What a tranquility and space! This object can only be described in one way "absolute perfection"! On the ground floor you will find the bright living room, the spacious hall, the office, the kitchen with the conservatory and a utility room. You will also find the relaxation area with swimming pool, sauna, shower and toilet. Behind the kitchen is a "real" Irish pub. Upstairs you will find the master bedroom with bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, 3 large bedrooms, a closet and a bathroom. There is also a complete apartment at the rear with separate entrance and also accessible by elevator and if desired lockable from the rest of the house. In the attic you will find a very large bedroom with bathroom and a large room that is now used as a storage room. In the garden you will find the double garage with electric doors and spacious barn which are fully heated. Behind the garage is the horsebox and the meadow. The garden was designed by architect Arend Jan van der Horst and divided into a formal front garden and a side garden with a large rural pond and deck. From the veranda you can enjoy a beautiful view and in the evening it is a picture when everything is lit with the monumental church in the background. Of course, the whole is equipped with a computer-controlled sprinkler system.
