Exclusive building plot with planning permission for a detached waterfront villa in Leiden In a truly unique location in Leiden, we are delighted to offer this exclusive building plot, complete with planning permission already granted for the construction of a detached villa. A total of three new-build homes will be developed on the site, with this being the final available plot. The location forms part of a small-scale estate and directly adjoins the listed historic sawmill Molen De Herder. This exceptionally well-preserved and still operational sawmill is one of only a small number of functioning wind-powered sawmills remaining in the Netherlands. It provides a remarkable historic backdrop and gives this location an exclusive and truly distinctive character. The plot measures approximately 615 m² and is situated directly on an attractive stretch of water beside the mill. From here, there is an open waterway connection to the Haarlemmertrekvaart, allowing you to travel by boat with ease to Leiden's historic city centre or towards the lakes and recreational areas of De Kaag. The historic centre of Leiden is only around five minutes away by bicycle. The location also offers excellent access to the A4 and A44 motorways. Planning permission has already been granted for the villa shown in the impressions. An experienced contractor is also available to realise the design in full if desired. Various alterations can still be discussed, including the addition of a basement or lift, as well as changes to the internal layout and finishes. This provides an excellent opportunity to tailor the property entirely to your own lifestyle and preferences. We would be delighted to invite interested parties to our office for a personal meeting, during which we can explain the plans and possibilities in greater detail. Layout Ground floor ance is situated at the side of the villa and opens into a spacious reception hall with cloakroom area, meter cupboard, separate toilet and staircase to the first floor. The current design already allows for the installation of a lift. Should the purchaser opt to add a basement, this would also be accessible directly from the entrance hall. The generously proportioned living room is positioned at the front of the property. The kitchen and dining area are planned at the rear, offering ample space for an impressive high-end kitchen with a large island. The rear façade will consist almost entirely of glass and can be opened extensively, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior. This allows the garden, water and exceptional views to become an integral part of the living experience. First floor The spacious landing provides access to all rooms as well as a separate toilet. At the front are two comfortable bedrooms together with a beautifully designed bathroom. The generous principal bedroom is positioned at the rear and offers ample space for a large walk-in wardrobe. French doors provide access to the roof terrace, from which there are exceptional views across the water towards the historic sawmill. This floor also includes a technical and utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. Garden The villa will be surrounded by a generous private garden. At the front, the driveway provides private off-street parking. The rear garden can be accessed from both sides of the property. The garden borders directly onto the water and includes a private inlet harbour for a boat. This creates a truly exceptional setting, with beautiful daily views across the water and towards the listed historic De Herder sawmill.
