Heuvellaan 1

On a tree-lined avenue, hidden in the lush greenery of the Veluwe, lies a place that takes your breath away even before you step out of the car. Here, on a majestic plot of over 22,000 m², nestled in the forest, unfolds a unique woodland bungalow with an international character. A place where you wake up to birdsong, where every season brings its own color palette, and where the hustle of everyday life feels far away.

The home itself was renovated under architecture in 2019 and, together with a recently built 83 m² studio, forms a subtle statement of luxury, peace, and harmony. The original 1950s bungalow — 181 m² in size — has been carefully preserved and enriched with modern, high-quality materials, without losing the soul of the house.

As you enter the property through the wooden electric gate, a winding forest path leads you past tall pines and sunlit clearings. The bungalow is nestled between rhododendrons and a heath garden, with a veranda that acts as a seamless extension of the interior. The driveway leads to a double carport with an adjoining storage space — practical, yet aesthetically integrated into the overall design.

Once inside, the openness of the layout is immediately felt. The generous living room is bright, warm, and stylish, with views of the forest on both sides. Large glass sliding doors connect the indoors with the outdoors effortlessly. The kitchen — custom-made by Eginstill in walnut wood and equipped with Gaggenau appliances — forms the heart of the home. From here, you overlook the lounge, the veranda, and the studio.

A built-in planter with tropical vegetation subtly connects the kitchen and living room, while a large skylight bathes the space in natural light. This is a home that breathes with the seasons, where every sunbeam or falling leaf gives the space a new feel.

On the north side, the veranda offers a shady spot for long summer days. Tropical potted plants, a spacious outdoor lounge, a dining table under the canopy, and wooden casement windows create a sheltered, Mediterranean atmosphere. Beyond the veranda, a large terrace extends into the forest.

The master bedroom is a haven of peace, with views over the heath garden and a square window overlooking a private patio. This bedroom also features a large bathtub, surrounded by warm rosewood. The ensuite bathroom — with natural stone, brass details, double sink, and a view of the greenery — feels like a private suite in a five-star hotel. Everything is designed with a sense of calm and elegance.

A second bedroom, also with its own bathroom, is located at the front of the house. Finished with marble and copper taps, it makes for a perfect guest or children’s room.

A staircase in the hallway leads to a practical basement area with a utility room, technical installations, and storage — fully finished and conveniently laid out.

Through a stylish cloakroom and bathroom area, you walk into the studio, which was added in 2022. This bright, open space is currently used as a workspace with a large conference table, library, comfortable sitting area with wood stove, and a guest bed. The pantry and private bathroom also make the studio highly suitable as a guest house or independent unit. From here, you have panoramic views of the surrounding forest and direct access to the patio with outdoor shower.

The grounds are as exceptional as the home itself. Hidden in the woods lies a wood-fired barrel sauna with a round window looking out over the tall pines — an unmatched wellness experience. Scattered across the plot are sun terraces, a frog pond, sun loungers, and a high-quality wood storage facility at the edge of the property.

The grounds still offer many possibilities: the installation of a swimming pool is possible, and the double carport can easily be converted into a small guesthouse or hobby space — all necessary connections are already in place.

This place is rare. A home that brings together luxury and simplicity, where every detail is just right, and where the forest is not just a view, but an integral part of daily life.
