Ronde Blesse 2, Willemsoord

YOUNG STYLE COUNTRY HOUSE ON HISTORICAL ESTATE WITH 1.75 HA OWN LAND SURROUNDED BY CANALS AND FOREST

HOUSE RONDE BLESSE: a magnificent ESTATE with 4 horse stables, 3 parcels of pasture land, a garage and an annex where 3 rooms are located, two of which have their own bathroom and were used as B&B. The HOUSE is surrounded by a pleasant bird-rich landscape garden with rhododendrons and 2 ponds where deer also frequently come to visit. The entire property, including the pastures, is bordered by a forest plot managed by Staatsbosbeheer, hedgerows and hedges consisting of oak, beech, lime, false acacia and ash trees.

The house is located on the Ronde Blesse just outside Willemsoord. The JUGENDSTIL VILLA, built in 1911, stands on the estate that formed the core of the original 'Landgoed de Eikenhof'. In the final phase of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid (Society for Welfare), the director of the society lived there and a farming school of the society was built on the property, which later disappeared. Inside, the interior remains entirely in the style typical of such a villa, except for some minor adjustments. The color schemes and atmosphere are also completely in keeping with the character of the villa.
Modern luxury is found in the ensuite living room and lounge with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring; the kitchen has been custom-made by Alle Heijman in the style of the house, featuring a Borretti stove. In an annex attached to the main building are two spacious rooms each with their own mezzanine level and bathroom that were previously used as B&B accommodation. The stables with four boxes can be accessed from the garage and scullery. Apart from the main house is a large wood-fired Finnish sauna complete with covered veranda, four sunbeds, relaxation area and outdoor shower. On the grounds there is also a barn with haylofts.

APARTMENT LAYOUT:
Entrance hall with access to the central hall, office space featuring a fireplace, wood stove, and beautiful carpet. Grand living room En-Suite with parquet floor in herringbone pattern, bay window, wood-burning stove, and built-in cabinets. Sliding doors between the sitting room and dining room and between the dining room and kitchen. Access to the central inner garden (currently an atelier), which leads to the pantry, garage, horse stables, former B&B, and side terrace.
The “B&B” consists of a room that was originally used as a dining room, and two apartments that are connected to each other but also have their own separate entrances. Both apartments feature a small balcony and their own bathroom with a bathtub, toilet, and sink, and each has its own ventilation system. The entire extension is heated by an independent heating installation (Daalderop combi boiler) and radiators.
From the scullery, you reach the garage and former carriage shed, behind which is the stable with no less than 4 professional stalls.

On the first floor of the main building there is a spacious hallway with built-in closet and storage. There are 3 large bedrooms, one of which has its own balcony, and a smaller fourth bedroom with a bunk bed. Additionally, there is a modern bathroom with a bathtub, shower, sink, toilet, and bidet.

GENERAL:
This neatly maintained JUGENDSTIL VILLA is centrally heated with a Remeha HR boiler and radiators. The main house and annex each have their own EVOHome Honeywell radiator control system and are equipped with ventilation systems. The entire complex is fitted with lightning protection and surge protection. There are 17 recently installed solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point. Willemsoord is located in the countryside between the Drents-Friese heathland and the Weerribben-Wieden, but surprisingly well accessible. Within a few minutes by car via the N351 towards Wolvega or Steenwijk, you can connect to the A32. The A6 is also easily reached via the N351 and N50. Zwolle is approximately 35 minutes away by car, Heerenveen about 25 minutes, and Emmeloord at a distance of around 30 minutes.

In short: A nice combination of tranquility and accessibility!
