Nieuwe 's-Gravelandseweg 811406 NC BussumFransekamp

Nieuwe ’s-Gravelandseweg 81, Bussum Hidden among centuries-old trees and directly bordering the Fransche Kampheide nature reserve lies one of the most characterful and atmospheric homes in Bussum. A rare combination of complete privacy, nature, and high-quality living on a generous plot of no less than 2,095 m². This detached villa radiates warmth and authenticity from the very first moment. The dark wooden façades, classic window muntins, mature woodland garden, and natural integration into the landscape give the house an appearance that immediately captivates. Living here is not only comfortable, but truly exceptional. Originally dating back to the late nineteenth century, the property was almost entirely rebuilt and modernized around 1999/2000, with extraordinary respect for its original character. The result is a stylish family home where atmosphere, luxury, and functionality come together effortlessly. Inside, you are welcomed by a warm and refined ambiance. Wide oak floorboards reclaimed from antique French railway carriages, multiple fireplaces, beautiful sightlines, and French doors opening onto the garden create a living experience that feels both elegant and relaxed. Nearly every room enjoys a direct connection to the surrounding greenery, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The generous living spaces offer every comfort for a family seeking space, privacy, and flexibility. The kitchen-diner forms the natural heart of the home, while the spacious living room invites long evenings by the fireplace or summer gatherings on the terraces surrounding the property. Particularly attractive for entrepreneurs, expats, and professionals is the presence of several work/multi-functional rooms on the ground floor. Combined with the bedroom and fully equipped bathroom on the ground floor, this home also offers excellent possibilities for single-level living. What truly makes this property unique is its direct connection to nature. From the backyard, a private gate leads directly into the Fransche Kampheide and the Goois Nature Reserve. At the front of the property begins the Spanderswoud forest. A rare residential setting where peace, nature, and exclusivity come together, while schools, sports clubs, restaurants, Bussum Zuid railway station, and major roads are all within short distance. The woodland garden, designed by landscape architect Jacqueline van der Kloet, forms a natural extension of the surrounding landscape. Rather than a formal garden, it is a harmonious composition where light, the seasons, and nature itself take center stage. At any moment of the day, there is always a place to enjoy either the sun or the shelter of the greenery. This is not a standard villa, but a country house with a soul. A home for those who appreciate character, nature, tranquility, and quality. A rare opportunity to live in one of the most beautiful locations in Bussum, in the heart of the Gooi region. Layout Ground floor Via the driveway, secured with an electric gate, one reaches the charming house through the secluded woodland garden. The entrance is centrally located and provides access to the hallway and the open kitchen with fireplace. This kitchen forms the heart of the home and is equipped with various built-in appliances. On the right-hand side is the spacious living room of approximately 43 m². This room features a fireplace, abundant natural light through many windows (including two bay windows), French doors opening onto both the front and rear terraces, and a beautiful connection with the garden. From the living room, one reaches a spacious mezzanine with dormer window, as well as access to an attic storage space. On the left-hand side of the house are two work/bedrooms. This makes the property especially attractive for entrepreneurs, professionals, or residents who regularly work from home. These rooms are ideal as a quiet office, library, home practice, or comfortable guest room. Also located on the ground floor is the principal bedroom with dressing area and adjoining bathroom. This bathroom is fully equipped with a double shower, bathtub, double washbasin, toilet, and space for a washing machine and dryer. French doors also connect this side of the house directly to the terrace and garden. First floor The first floor is accessible via the original open staircase. Here you will find a landing, two bedrooms with dormer windows, and a second bathroom with shower, toilet, and washbasin. Thanks to the exposed wooden roof structure, this floor has an intimate, almost studio-like atmosphere. The rooms are perfectly suited for children, guests, an au pair, studying children, or a home office. Basement, shed, and carport In addition to the living areas, the property features a basement of approximately 5.7 m², a spacious shed of approximately 11.1 m², and a carport of 23.6 m². The carport and shed were rebuilt in 2023. These provide practical space for bicycles, gardening equipment, storage, hobbies, or outdoor sports equipment. The garden Without exaggeration, the garden is one of the property’s greatest assets. Designed in 2001 as a woodland garden by landscape architect Jacqueline van der Kloet, the result is a garden that feels entirely natural, as though it has always been part of the surrounding landscape. In the morning, the sun shines on the rear terrace; during the afternoon and evening, it moves to the front of the property. This ensures there is always a pleasant place to sit outside at any time of day. A special feature is the direct access to the Fransche Kampheide through a private gate in the backyard. The garden is also equipped with an automatic irrigation system.
