Schaardijk 482, Rotterdam Exclusive monumental farmhouse with indoor swimming pool, large garage, orchard, meadow, horse stables, and ultimate privacy in an oasis of tranquility – yet with the city within easy reach. SELLER’S STATEMENT "Welcome to our beloved home, a unique national monument where we have lived with great joy for three decades. This place has shaped our family and provided countless cherished memories. From the moment we purchased it, we have restored and modernised it with dedication, preserving its authentic character and monumental value. Every day we enjoy the serene peace, rich nature, and unparalleled privacy of this hidden corner of Rotterdam. All this, while the city’s vibrancy is just a heartbeat away. With warm hearts, we now pass on this special property to a new owner who, like us, values quality, history, and the unique balance between tranquility and accessibility." ABSOLUTE PRIVACY ON AN ISLAND IN THE CITY This rare farmhouse at Schaardijk 482 is located on a private island, entirely surrounded by water and nature. The rear of the property borders a recreational forest, creating an unrivalled level of peace, space, and privacy. The location is, without exaggeration, unique: just a ten-minute bike ride from the heart of Rotterdam, yet it feels like a countryside estate, where even kingfishers and owls make their home. UNIQUE NATIONAL MONUMENT – carefully restored with respect for history This exclusive farmhouse is recognised as a national monument due to the exceptional presence of two fully intact box bed walls and an 18th-century chimney breast – elements of national cultural-historical significance. In the Netherlands, only one comparable example exists outside this property, located in the Open Air Museum in Arnhem. Since 1997, the property has been lovingly restored according to the guidelines of the Cultural Heritage Agency. Original details have been preserved and combined with modern comfort to a high standard. The entire house exudes character: from the entrance hall with antique fireplace, natural stone floor and hidden passages, the atmospheric living room with authentic wooden floorboards and wood-burning stove, to the raised room (now used as an office) and the wine cellar below. Recent updates, such as the new thatched roof, professional paintwork, and the redesigned master suite with en-suite bathroom, enhance both the atmosphere and quality. A special addition is the entertainment room on the upper floor with billiards table and cinema setup, which can also be used as an extra bedroom or guest accommodation. The absolute showpiece is the wellness area in the former stable. Here, a luxurious indoor pool has been installed with automatic cover, large jacuzzi, gym area, and preparations for a sauna – all surrounded by original stable windows and sturdy wooden beams. SUSTAINABLE AND FUTURE-PROOF This property combines heritage with sustainability. The farmhouse is equipped with high-quality insulation, a heat pump (2021), 20 solar panels (2016), HR combi boiler (2018), and air conditioning. Thanks to an innovative heating system with buffer tanks and wood-fired support – using wood from the property’s own pollard willows – the energy consumption is surprisingly low for a property of this size. A charging station is also available. PRIME LOCATION BETWEEN CITY AND SERENITY This location uniquely combines the feel of a secluded estate with the proximity of all urban amenities. In just ten minutes, you can be in the centre of Rotterdam, while at home you are surrounded by calm, nature, and absolute privacy. Accessibility is excellent thanks to quick connections via metro, ParkShuttle, water taxi, Fastferry, and direct access to the A16 and A20 motorways. The farmhouse sits on 1,250 m² of private land and is surrounded by approximately 4,430 m² of additionally leased land, giving the grounds a spacious feel and an unparalleled sense of freedom. Scattered across the property are various fruit trees such as cherry, walnut, apple, and pear trees, which not only add atmosphere and privacy but also attract many birds. The yard features a spacious garage/barn of over 80m², a large greenhouse – perfect for enjoying even on cooler days – and an inviting canopy directly adjacent to the kitchen. For horse enthusiasts, there are three horse boxes. A drained all-weather riding arena and paddock were also installed in the past. The property is stylishly fenced with a double-spoke gate and accessed via an automatic entrance gate.
