Are you looking for the ideal place to live, surrounded by nature and water? This stunning, spacious detached home, located in a prime location that is part of the Maasplassen and an extensive nature reserve, offers everything you could wish for in a comfortable and peaceful lifestyle.

Situated in a truly unique location, next to the Hompesche Mill, this beautiful detached home sits on a generous plot of no less than 14,656 m². The original house was built around 1968 and was extended in 2014 with a magnificent living space featuring a luxurious open kitchen at the heart of the home. The property is partially equipped with roof insulation and is almost entirely fitted with wall insulation. Additionally, floor insulation and underfloor heating are provided in the living area, open kitchen, entrance hall, and utility room. The home features mostly aluminum window frames with double glazing/HR++ glass. Furthermore, it includes 16 solar panels and a solar water heater with two collectors. The property is also equipped with an alarm system.

Thanks to its two entrances and the possibility of easily converting part of the living space into a bedroom, the house can be adapted for dual occupancy and/or assisted living.

The basement consists of a spacious room with a concrete floor and a small window. The crawl space is accessible from here (only for the original main house) and is insulated.

On the ground floor, the original house’s front door leads to the entrance hall, which includes the meter cupboard and a travertine tiled floor. It provides access to the toilet, living room/office space, intermediate room, and basement. The staircase is also located here. The main meter cupboard is modern, with sufficient circuits, three-phase power, and fiber optic internet. Additionally, the house has an alarm system. The toilet has a tiled floor, a floating toilet, and a washbasin with a decorative glass fountain.

The intermediate room, with large windows (including electric blinds), offers a beautiful view of the garden and driveway. This space has a parquet floor and includes an original chimney flue. The original living room is currently used as an office and also has a parquet floor. This room also contains an original chimney flue. The aluminum window frames feature double glazing/HR++, with one window equipped with electric blinds. The windowsills are finished in travertine.

The extension, built in 2014, is fully insulated (roof, floor, and walls) and has its own spacious entrance hall. This area has a light-colored ceramic tile floor and provides access to the living space/kitchen and the utility room. The luxurious living space is the focal point of the house, with large windows framed in aluminum with HR++ glass, and four large electric Velux skylights. The living room, kitchen, hall, and utility room all have underfloor heating.

The living room features a wood stove and an extra gas connection with provisions for an additional chimney flue. This space has built-in spotlights and can be divided into a living area and a bedroom (door provision available), allowing for minor modifications to make the home suitable for lifetime living. The living space also includes two sliding doors and a tilt-and-turn window with pleated screen doors and electric blinds leading to the garden and terrace.

The modern, spacious kitchen is equipped with an L-shaped kitchen unit with an island and a ceramic worktop. It offers ample storage, including deep drawers, and is fitted with built-in appliances: a combination oven, combination steam oven, dishwasher (at an ergonomic height), refrigerator, freezer, induction and gas cooktop, and an extractor hood. There is also a close-in boiler. The ceramic tile floor is light-colored and has underfloor heating.

The utility room features a ceramic tile floor with underfloor heating, a simple kitchen unit with a double sink, and a garden door. The central heating boiler (Nefit Topline 2012) and the solar water heater (2012) are also located here. From the utility room, the workshop and bathroom are accessible.

The spacious bathroom (2012) is fully tiled and has a large walk-in shower, floating toilet, washbasin, washing machine connection, built-in spotlights, and a plastic window frame with double glazing/HR++ glass. At the rear of the property is a large studio/hobby space with an extra extended fuse box (modern). This space has two large wooden double garage doors, a fixed staircase to the generous attic storage, and a separate room with a double sink and industrial tap. The attic storage features a wooden deck and electricity, offering ample storage possibilities. The roof has wooden boarding without insulation and is covered with tiles.

A spacious workshop is also available, built with single brick walls and wooden cladding on the exterior (not insulated), with a corrugated sheet roof (circa 2020). A new double-opening garage door has been installed. Next to the workshop, there is a double open garage/shed—large enough to accommodate a caravan or camper.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to four bedrooms and the bathroom. The entire floor is finished with laminate flooring. The bedrooms measure approximately 12 m², 11 m², 9 m², and 7 m², and three of them feature built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is fully tiled and equipped with a sink, standing toilet, and bathtub with a shower option. The first floor has aluminum window frames with double glazing/HR++ glass (2014). The smallest bedroom has a drain connection and preparation for a water connection. One of the bedrooms provides access to the roof terrace, which offers stunning views over the garden and fields. From the roof terrace, the attic storage space is accessible, equipped with electricity and a plastic skylight with double glazing.

Via a retractable staircase from the original house’s landing, you reach the second-floor attic storage, which has a wooden floor and wooden boarding (not insulated). The window frames are wooden with single glazing. The inverters for the solar panels are also located here. This space is ideal for storage, but additional rooms could also be created.

The outdoor space and garden provide ample space and privacy. A large sun terrace has been created, paved with ceramic tiles and featuring a natural stone staircase. Additionally, there is a ramp for wheelbarrows or wheelchairs. The aluminum canopy (2022) includes electric awnings/screens. The garden is both aesthetically and practically designed, featuring extra fencing and a large chessboard. Various fruit trees are spread across the plot. At the back of the garden, there is an additional sun terrace, along with a variety of trees, plants, and hedges. A groundwater well is also available, along with multiple outdoor taps connected to the mains water supply. The plot is accessible from multiple sides, including for trailers and tractors, and is almost entirely enclosed.

From the street, you drive onto the paved driveway, which has an electric gate with a pedestrian entrance. There is a lawn in front for additional parking, and more parking space is available inside the enclosure. Next to the driveway is a septic tank IBA system (2023). Additionally, three old wells are disconnected but can be used for temporary storage of chemical toilet waste. Beneath the paved parking spaces, two original cesspits remain, one of which is currently used for rainwater drainage.

The right side of the plot features an orchard with tall walnut trees, as well as wood storage and a chicken coop.

Stevensweert is an old fortified town situated on an island between two branches of the Maas River. It shares the "Island in the Maas" with Ohe en Laak, surrounded by the Old Maas, the Maas, and the Maasplassen. The town has a rich history, with a street layout reminiscent of its fortified past. The nearby Hompesche Mill, a stunning nature monument built in 1721, is the tallest windmill in Limburg and now features a terrace. The area is perfect for cycling and hiking, with one of the most popular routes being a circuit around the Molenplas.

Stevensweert offers cozy terraces, cafés, and restaurants, as well as basic amenities such as a primary school, childcare center, doctor, physiotherapist, dentist, sports hall, football and tennis clubs, and various other associations. For more extensive shopping and services, nearby Maasbracht and Echt are easily accessible. The A2 highway also provides convenient access to Roermond, Sittard, and Maastricht.
