Rijperweg 72061 BG BloemendaalBloemendaal

A Private Domain in the Bloemendaal Woods There are houses, and there are worlds of their own. 'Huis in 't Bos' is one of them. Hidden within the Bloemendaal forest, in the heart of Duin en Daal and surrounded by centuries-old trees, it offers complete privacy and seclusion, invisible from the road, yet within easy reach of Bloemendaal village, the city of Haarlem and the coast. The arrival alone is memorable. A quiet drive winds its way through the greenery before the house gradually reveals itself, set on a gently elevated plot, open and framed by woodland: a domain of its own. An architecturally refined modern villa with thatched roof and guest house, as though they had always stood there. Once inside, it feels like a world apart, still and sheltered. You step onto warm floors, and the pace slows of its own accord. That same stillness carries through the interior. Daylight moves easily through the rooms, and the generous windows bring the forest into daily life. Each season offers its own atmosphere: fresh green in spring, gold in autumn, silence in winter and always, softly in the background, the sound of the woods. The house has been finished with care, in honest materials and a calm, timeless register. It is also highly energy-efficient, allowing comfort and sustainability to sit naturally together. Everything is considered, without drawing attention to itself. Ready to be lived in as it stands, with room for a signature of one's own. The grounds surrounding the villa are generous and fully matured, flowing seamlessly into the woods beyond. Low maintenance, fully established, and a natural extension of the interior. A place in the sun or in the shade is always close at hand for long summer evenings, a quiet morning with coffee, or simply the silence. Both house and garden are discreetly but thoroughly protected, with security fully integrated into the design. Present but unseen, for a life lived without concern. 'Huis in 't Bos' cannot quite be captured in words. This is a place to be experienced first-hand. “Huis in ’t Bos” is a rare gem in Duin en Daal, a more than generously sized modern villa with a detached guesthouse, situated in a truly unique location. Positioned on a sunny plot, the villa was originally built in 1993 and completely rebuilt and modernized in 2013 by the current owners. The detached guesthouse with a basement was also constructed in 2013. A wonderful family home where residents can enjoy unrivaled luxury, complete privacy, peace, and tranquility.
