The nature house is the former residence of our cozy “head-neck-body” farmhouse. The front house and the living barn are connected by a hallway, which houses the shared washing machine and dryer. The spacious kitchen features a wood stove, a large table with five chairs, a six-burner stove with two ovens, and a refrigerator. A fixed staircase leads to the first floor, where the bathroom is located, complete with a bathtub, shower, toilet, and sink. On the landing, there is a queen-size bed and a single bed. There is also a separate bedroom with a double bed. There is no toilet on the ground floor. In terms of sustainability: solar panels provide electricity for both houses, and a heat pump supplies hot water and powers the underfloor heating. A high-efficiency central heating boiler heats the front part of the house, and the sewer system is connected to an on-site wastewater treatment system (IBA). Wi-Fi and TV are available. There are also 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 3 sheep on the property.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is located 500 meters from the road and sits partly within a nature reserve. It’s a quiet area where you’ll hear only the sounds of lively birds and, at night, a fantastic display of stars in the sky. The west side borders directly on this nature reserve, home to rare birds and butterflies. The north side features an orchard with heirloom fruit varieties. The east side overlooks farms. The south side is overgrown with plants, flowers, and fruit bushes, and this is where the unpaved, easily accessible path leads to the outside world. The cottage is located along numerous biking and hiking trails. Just five minutes away, you can go kayaking on rivers like the Scheene or the Tjonger. Just 10 minutes away is Lake Tjeukemeer, where you can enjoy swimming and sailing trips from lake to lake. Just 10 minutes away are the Weerribben, where you can rent electric boats. In winter, the water here freezes over first, allowing for beautiful ice-skating trips. Every summer, Opera Spanga and Nijetrijne are performed just five minutes away.

It's a fully furnished house and very comfortable.
It also has a very cozy atmosphere that suits the house well.Het is een volledig ingericht huis en heel comfortabel .
Ook heel sfeervol passend bij het huis.The cottage is tucked away among the fields in the countryside. There's no visual pollution or traffic noise. And you can fully enjoy nature.
Het huisje is achteraf gelegen tussen de landerijen in het groen. Geen last van horizonvervuiling of wegverkeer. En volop kunnen genieten van de natuur.

Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but in this case, they’d thought of everything.
Er is natuurlijk altijd iets dat beter kan, maar in dit geval was aan alles gedacht.
A wonderful place, away from it all.
Een heerlijke plek, weg van alles.
