Unique Living in a Piece of History – with Comfort, Character, and Chickens (if you like)
Welcome to this charming 18th-century listed farmhouse, where historic character and modern comfort blend effortlessly. Set on a generous plot of approximately 3,500 m², surrounded by greenery, peace, space, and sweeping views, this is a place where you can truly take a deep breath and unwind.
The origins of this farmhouse date back to around 1786, when its first resident opened a tailor’s workshop here. Since then, it has been lovingly extended and maintained, resulting in a comfortable, well-kept home with an abundance of natural light and space. And with an energy label C — and no fewer than 41 solar panels — this grand old lady performs surprisingly well when it comes to sustainability.
A Home Full of Atmosphere and Possibilities
The house offers 4 to 5 bedrooms, two cellars, a modern kitchen (installed in 2022, complete with an electric AGA cooker), and a cozy living room with an open fireplace. Both the kitchen and the living room open onto the sun-drenched southwest-facing terrace — the perfect spot to enjoy long sunny afternoons and take in the beauty of the garden.
The charming opkamer (raised room) overlooking the meadows makes for a wonderful study, featuring a large fireplace and a private entrance. Beneath this room is one of the two cellars, currently used as a spacious laundry area. Upstairs you’ll find even more space: four bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a separate toilet, and even a traditional box bed — for those who like things extra cozy.
Guesthouse, Hay Barn, and a Garden to Get Lost In
As if that weren’t enough, the property also includes a detached, multifunctional bakehouse — complete with a small kitchen, shower, toilet, and a delightful mezzanine sleeping area. Ideal for guests, a home office, an au pair, or a live-in carer.
The hay barn currently serves as a covered area for bicycles, but the possibilities are endless. And the garden? Beautifully landscaped with lovely sightlines and ideally positioned for the sun. At the far end, you’ll find the solar panels and a wooden shed with a covered area — perfect for garden tools and hobby projects.
Location, Location, Location
Eemnes offers primary schools, an international school, good public transport connections, sports clubs, and quick access to major roads — ideal for those who want to enjoy country living without giving up the conveniences of the city.
Sometimes a house speaks for itself. This farmhouse is one of those homes — spacious, full of character, steeped in history, and truly special.
You’re warmly invited to come and experience it for yourself. But be warned: once you step inside, you may never want to leave.
