Layout
Ground floor
Entrance with double doors; vestibule with marble floor and meter cupboard; spacious hall with oak herringbone floor. Cloakroom with lift, guest WC with washbasin and built-in storage. Sitting room with built-in projector, opening to a garden room (separated by a gas fireplace). Study/office, accessible from both the hall and the sitting room. Playroom. Very large live-in kitchen / dining room with gas fireplace. The kitchen features a cook/wet island (approx. 2.5 × 4 m) with Lacanche range (two ovens), Quooker boiling-water tap, four gas burners plus wok burner, grill, teppanyaki and steam well, plus twin downdraft extractors integrated into the worktop. Coffee station, wine fridge, dishwasher and ample cabinetry.
Off the kitchen is a large covered terrace with heating and wind/sun screens (partly or fully closable). On the other side of the kitchen: a cosy bar with Belgian bluestone floor, worktop and Quooker; the full glass wall opens so that on warm days/evenings the space feels like outdoors. Behind the kitchen: a second hall with a second WC and extensive storage; internal passage with Belgian bluestone floor to the detached pool house.
The pool house (new in 2019) has extensive glazing and three sets of French doors, creating an almost outdoor feel. The pool measures approx. 4 × 12 m and is fitted with a counter-current system and air-injection. There is a kitchenette with Quooker and fridge, hammam, double shower, changing room and WC with washbasin. From the passage you also reach a spacious gym. Large laundry with raised washer/dryer and worktop. From the laundry there is access to the internal store and to the self-contained apartment (which also has its own external entrance).
From the second hall, double doors lead to the integral double garage with remote-operated doors and an EV charging station. A car lift allows additional parking in the basement; a fixed staircase connects the garage to the basement.
The basement can comfortably accommodate 3–4 cars and—given the finish is on par with the rest of the house—could equally serve as a chill room / living area. Technical rooms are located on both sides (separate systems for the house and the pool). A diesel generator ensures power continuity.

“domus pacis” – stately 19th-century mansion
a stylish 19th-century mansion, known as “domus pacis.” the name domus pacis—“house of peace, calm and security”—truly befits the property. built in 1883 and comprehensively modernised and extended in 2019 under the direction of architect friso woudstra, the house combines historic grandeur with contemporary comfort. highlights include a pool with wellness, a generous guest/office apartment, and beautifully landscaped private grounds with pond, gazebo and several terraces. there is also a dog kennel with indoor and outdoor run. despite the convenient position close to the randstad’s cities and motorways, this is an oasis of quiet where you can literally hear the silence.
opposite the house lies a hedge-enclosed meadow of approx. 7,500 m²—currently home to deer, but also ideal for keeping horses. about 100 metres from the house, at the end of raadsteeg, there is an additional wooded plot of approx. 6,000 m² on the banks of the picturesque river linge. thanks to a fully self-contained apartment with a private entrance, the property is perfectly suited for home office/practice, au pair accommodation or multi-generational living (parents or adult children).
