Description Newly built villa on the Frisian coast with breathtaking views over the IJsselmeer. This property consists of two buildings with the possibility for separate dual occupancy or working from home. Both buildings have their own building plot and independent utility connections. Located on the Zeedijk in the picturesque village of Gaast, directly on the edge of the IJsselmeer, is this stunning newly built “country residence” with an adjacent barn-style house that could be used as living space, office space, guest accommodation, studio, and/or garage (see zoning plan Hieslum and Gaast). Together situated on a plot of approximately 1,273 m². Both buildings were completely newly constructed in 2007 and 2016 with exceptional attention to detail. The entire property is in immaculate condition and was designed by Markus Architects. Materials used are of the highest quality and the finish is exceptionally luxurious. The spacious living room on the first floor of the main residence offers magnificent views over the IJsselmeer. A beautifully landscaped garden surrounds the house, and the property borders the “Dyksfeart” (Dike Canal), connecting Workum and Makkum. The village is centrally located along the beautiful Frisian coast. Truly a unique location! Building 1 – Currently Used as Main Residence Living area: 408 m² Number of rooms: 5 rooms (2 bedrooms) Bathrooms: 2 bathrooms, 2 separate toilets Ground Floor Via the Zeedijk you arrive at the house, which immediately gives a well-maintained impression. Cars can be parked on the private driveway directly in front of the property. The spacious entrance hall provides access to a toilet, utility meter cupboard, wardrobe, and the master bedroom. The living area features the living room with wood-burning stove on the left-hand side and a stunning open-plan kitchen overlooking the garden on the right. A beautifully designed mahogany staircase connects the ground floor with the upper level. The kitchen is of top quality and flows seamlessly into the living room. A large open space overlooking the surrounding garden, positioned towards the southeast. From the kitchen you walk through to the utility room with space for laundry appliances, the central heating system, and a rear entrance. All floors are fitted with underfloor heating and finished with light natural stone tiles. The large master bedroom (approximately 50 m²) is located at the front of the house and includes a private toilet, luxurious bathroom, and spacious walk-in closet. First Floor Via the mahogany staircase you reach the first floor. A spacious open landing provides access to a living room/lounge area (approximately 70 m²) facing the IJsselmeer, a bedroom (30 m²), and a bathroom. The gable end of the house is entirely made of glass, creating a unique and impressive panoramic view over the IJsselmeer. On the south side of this room, 19 large Velux windows provide an abundance of natural light, making the space exceptionally pleasant. This room is highly versatile and could serve as a bedroom, TV room, living room, studio, gym, games room, etc. Also on this floor is a large bedroom (approximately 30 m²) with its own bathroom (shower, double washbasin, and separate toilet). This bathroom is also accessible from the IJsselmeer-facing room. Building 2 – Currently Used as a Photography Studio Living area: 247 m² Number of rooms: 5 rooms Bathrooms: 1 bathroom with toilet An additional residence, home office, creative workspace, photography studio, garage, yoga studio, barn, or sauna — this stylish barn-style property can accommodate it all! Built in 2007 and most recently used as a photography studio. This building has its own building plot and independent utility connections. Ground Floor – Studio / Workshop / Garage On the Zeedijk side is the spacious garage (approximately 45 m²), suitable for one car, a large workbench, and storage cabinets for tools. Next to the garage is the entrance hall with utility meter cupboard, central heating installation, and built-in wardrobes. A staircase leads to the floor above the garage, currently used for storage. Behind the garage is the former studio space (approximately 50 m²), an absolutely stunning 7-metre-high room featuring authentic restored wooden columns from the 15th century. The wooden construction itself is a work of art. Large stylish sliding doors on the exterior facade allow complete blackout of the room. From the photography studio you walk through to the office space with kitchen (approximately 30 m²), shower and toilet, plus a staircase leading to another attic room. This too is a beautiful space with its own entrance from the courtyard towards the garden. Outdoor Area Surrounding the property is a wonderful private garden with a wide variety of plants and greenery. At the rear, the garden directly borders the postcard-worthy “Gaaster Dyksfeart” (Dike Canal), connecting Workum and Makkum. There is a small mooring spot allowing you to enjoy boating or canoeing along the canal. The connecting element between the two buildings is the courtyard — a place offering privacy and shelter. Stylish paving, planting, and architectural details on both buildings create a wonderful and highly central outdoor living space on the property. Outdoor Area – Greenhouse & Irrigation In addition to the diverse planting, the garden also features a hardwood-founded greenhouse, space for vegetable beds, and a large underground 7,500-litre water tank. The tank can store rainwater or tap water and is connected to an automatic pump system with drip irrigation lines. Unique Location What makes this location truly unique is its setting. Directly in front of the property lies an impressive nature reserve where thousands of birds settle each year. Watching the constant arrival and departure of birds is a remarkable experience. The IJsselmeer remains shallow far into the lake at this location, making it a perfect resting area for birds. In winter, the area quickly transforms into a paradise for ice skating and spectacular ice formations. A constantly changing landscape painting, right outside your front door. Just behind the dike is a small beach where it is possible to launch a paddleboard, small boat, or canoe. Windsurfing is also possible here. To both the north and south you will find numerous cycling and walking routes through beautiful natural surroundings. Within cycling distance lies the charming fishing village of Makkum (8 minutes by car), featuring a marina and beautiful beach ideal for surfing. On the Wadden Sea coast lies the town of Harlingen (20 minutes), where ferries depart for the islands of Vlieland and Terschelling. To the south are the authentic towns of Workum (12 minutes), Hindeloopen (20 minutes), Stavoren, Mirns, and Lemmer. And there is even more! To the southeast lies a stunning lake district, while Bolsward (14 minutes) and Sneek (20 minutes) are just around the corner. The A7 motorway can be reached within 11 minutes. This vibrant and sporty region is full of Frisian charm and hospitality. The property is centrally located on the Frisian coast, yet offers complete peace and tranquility.
