VREDENHOF – HISTORICAL ESTATE IN DE FRYSKE MARREN Nestled in the peaceful southern part of the municipality of De Fryske Marren, near Lemmer, lies the distinguished estate Vredenhof.

Here, tranquility, privacy, and history combine effortlessly with excellent accessibility and nearby amenities. For those who love boating a privately owned mooring at the Tjeukemeer is included. Step onto the estate, and you enter a world of your own, surrounded by lush greenery, sparkling water, and timeless beauty. LIVING WITH CHARACTER AND HISTORY The residence has been carefully restored with respect for its heritage, using only the finest, often antique, materials. The entrance through the kitchen is adorned with an 18th-century transom, delicately carved from linden wood. The kitchen, crafted in historic style by master artisan F. van der Velde, blends seamlessly with the authentic ambiance of the home. The floors date from the late 19th century, and the kitchen features two blue-and-white panels from around 1800, made in Harlingen. The sitting room and conservatory showcase unique period details, including a marble fireplace from an Amsterdam canal house (circa 1740) and French doors opening onto the garden. Beneath the conservatory lies a hidden wine cellar with an electric hatch, laid with 18th-century tiles, 17th-century oak wine racks, and original cabinet doors. The ground floor also offers a stylish front room with a marble fireplace (circa 1820) and a bathroom. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. OUTBUILDING WITH CHARM AND POTENTIAL The elegant outbuilding, featuring long semicircular windows, offers stunning views of the garden. Currently used as office space, it is connected internally to a heated garage with loft, kitchenette, and toilet. This versatile building could easily be transformed into a fully independent guesthouse. Full of character, it boasts a Stevenson or Norwich cornice, a French dessus-de-porte from the 18th century, a faux marble fireplace, and a trumeau from a Frisian town hall, all contributing to its historic charm. AN IMPRESSIVE ESTATE GARDEN What began as a plot of approximately 1,600 m² has grown into a remarkable estate of approximately 3.18 hectares. The gardens were carefully designed to combine formal and natural elements, including two (swimming) ponds, multiple terraces, garden houses, a conservatory with vegetable garden, wooded areas, and expansive lawns. A striking feature is the elegant garden dome, designed by F. van der Velde, resting on concrete pillars and topped with a gilded pinecone by artist Axel van der Horst, inspired by the Marekerk in Leiden. The formal pond is framed with historic elements from the Dominicus Church on Spuistraat in Amsterdam. The water features are supplied by the adjacent canal, creating a vibrant and natural ecosystem. MOORING AT THE TJEUKEMEER The estate includes a private mooring of approximately 56 m² in Oosterzee harbor (8 min), directly on the Tjeukemeer – an ideal base for water sports and leisure.
