Klein Stoephout estate offers a golden opportunity to build the country house of your dreams! The terrain of more than one hectare is located in exclusive Wassenaar-Zuid. Klein Stoephout has a long and colourful history. It is the last recognizable part of the once much larger Stoephout country estate. Klein Stoephout includes the former orchard, kitchen garden and cultivation fields that supplied the country estate with fruit, flowers, and vegetables. In addition, there is a solid brick building that served as a stable and a park forest with brick retaining walls. The estate was designed by the famous architect De Bazel and the renowned landscape architect Tersteeg. The romantic stable building and the impressive retaining walls that screen off the park forest have survived 100 years undaunted. The Van Wassenaer family originally owned Stoephout. It subsequently was the property of well-known families including Groen van Prinsterer and Van der Oudermeulen. The Kröller-Müller couple considered building their museum here, but, as is well-known, they decided otherwise. In 1917, they sold the estate to Margo Kessler-de Lange, the widow of the founder of Royal Dutch/Shell, who commissioned De Bazel and Tersteeg to design and develop Stoephout. In short: this is a building site with a great history, uniquely located close to The Hague. It offers an adventurous playground for children and is within walking distance from the Bloemcampschool. Shopping in Wassenaar-Dorp and high schools are within reach by bike. The township’s zoning plan for Klein Stoephout allows for the construction of a very spacious country house (600 m2). The former stable building (75 m2) can be renovated into a functional outbuilding. The rustic retaining walls around the park forest deserve a makeover. Restoration of the old grape greenhouse is an option. The zoning plan permits the construction of a swimming pool and a tennis court. Designers from the firm Vlassak Verhulst have created a plan for the country house that fits seamlessly into this historic estate. The design has been presented to the municipality of Wassenaar and is has been indicated that such plan can be approved by the municipality and the province. The costs for the shell construction of the country house can be provided upon request. Costs for finishing floors, walls, kitchen, sanitary facilities and other utilities will depend on your wishes. Estimates for the renovation and modernization of the stable building and the preservation of the historic retaining wall can also be provided. Indicative dimensions of the country house to be built: basement: 200 m2, ground floor: 200 m2, first floor: 200 m2. An impression of the property: accessible from the Stoeplaan, a beautiful entrance with a long driveway along the park forest, winding to the country house to be built and the existing stable building. The site offers space for gardens, tennis court, vegetable garden and orchard. A pond may also be created as there is an ancient water course running through the plot. The gardens are well-oriented towards the sun (south, south west). The plot offers plenty of privacy and will be easy to secure. Klein Stoephout: An oasis in the Randstad.
