UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY – FARMHOUSE ON 5,172 SQM OF FREEHOLD LAND IN AMSTERDAM Detached farmhouse of 301 sqm on a plot of 5,172 sqm of freehold land, offering endless development potential (subject to the required permits). This property truly is a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportunity. Ideal for large families, for those who appreciate the ‘best of both worlds’ and immediately recognize the unique qualities of this gem, for entrepreneurs who see the countless (development) possibilities, and for city professionals who want to enjoy greenery, peace and space both at home and in their free time. Wijkergouw is located in the rural area of Amsterdam-Noord, on the outskirts of the city towards Waterland. It forms part of the historic peat meadow landscape that is so characteristic of this region: expansive green meadows, intersected by narrow ditches and dikes. Wijkergouw forms a striking contrast with urban Amsterdam. Here, peace, openness and a strong sense of space prevail, while at the same time the area is only a short distance from the city centre. This combination of proximity to the city and rural tranquillity is rare and is precisely what makes this area so special. The location is exceptional: just a stone’s throw from the city, yet completely surrounded by greenery and tranquillity. For those who want Amsterdam close by without the hustle and bustle of urban life, Wijkergouw 36 offers a rare opportunity.
