A rare property brimming with history, character, and potential.
On the edge of the beloved Ramplaankwartier, on the border of Haarlem and Overveen/Bloemendaal, lies this unique residential property consisting of two detached historic buildings, a workspace, and barns on a 560 m² lot. A special combination of living, working, nature, and history, tucked away in the greenery yet just a short distance from the city, the beach, and the train station.
The property includes a charming residence dating from around 1850 and the former tea house/smithy of the Schoonoord estate from around 1750; one of the oldest buildings in the Ramplaankwartier. The buildings are surrounded by a beautifully restored estate wall and exude atmosphere, authenticity, and history.
The garden is a true green oasis with raised planters, a lockable courtyard, mature landscaping, and an impressive old linden tree. From the private dock on the canal, you can easily sail toward the Brouwersvaart and the Spaarne. Thanks to the tall ivy hedge, you’ll enjoy optimal privacy and tranquility here.
This place is ideal for lovers of historic homes who dream of space, nature, and versatility. Perfect for combining living with working from home, studios, workshops, creative gatherings, or tending your own vegetable garden.
The location is exceptional:
- Within walking distance of forests, dunes, walking trails, and the charming village of Overveen;
- Train station, shops, and restaurants nearby;
- Haarlem city center just a 10-minute bike ride away;
