Zero-Energy Home, Wellness, Hunting Lodge, Silence, Stables, Riding Arena, Meadow by Van Harinxmakanaal!The tranquility and privacy in the middle of greenery and the natural experience around this home are indescribable but can certainly be felt. A literally hidden spot, next to the Van Harinxmakanaal, where you can see the masts of boats passing by in the distance from the house as a silent witness. The peace is at most interrupted by the braying of a donkey, the neighing of a horse, and a dog chasing a flying pheasant. The sunrise through the misty haze, where your horse happily greets you during the first feeding early in the morning, and you take a walk with your dog unnoticed in your pajamas around your own domain. The kids launch the boat into the water for a short trip to the center of Harlingen for a cozy lunch. Enjoy the sauna and jacuzzi as you watch the red sun set into the water. In the summer, with the glass doors open, and in the winter, cozying up with friends by the wood-burning stove in the hunting lodge; this oasis offers everything for the perfect home, making you never want to leave.The serene peace, the ever-changing Frisian skies, the wildlife that comes and goes in your own meadow (approx. 1.8 ha), the horses at home with their own 20x40 riding arena, and all this with bustling and friendly Harlingen just around the corner and a connection to the west within an hour via the Afsluitdijk.The charming, fully insulated, nearly energy-neutral home was built in 2019. Sustainable and low-maintenance materials such as IPE hardwood cladding, luxurious wide overhangs, 40 solar panels, a heat pump, flat tiles, zinc, and plastic were used. Privacy, relaxation, and a connection to nature were the main focus in the design. The stylish black-stained outbuildings, currently used as a sauna, wellness area, hunting lodge, wood storage, spacious insulated storage/workshop, stables, and equipment/boat storage, offer every possibility for maximum living enjoyment.This is fully private, in a hidden lane, living in silence outside the city, yet with all amenities in Franeker or Harlingen (with the ferry to the Wadden Islands) within cycling distance!LAYOUTGROUND FLOOR The entrance of the house is located on the east side, with space for a wardrobe in the hallway, which also provides access to the guest toilet. The living room is situated on the sunny southwest side of the house. When you enter this bright space, you immediately feel at home. This is due to the charming high wooden ceilings with beautiful heavy beams, the cozy lounge area by the wood stove, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offering endless views of the nature; the stylish garden, the fruit trees, the animals in the meadow, the wildlife around the house, and the ever-changing Frisian skies. There is no traffic here!The open living kitchen is a joy in itselfa place where there is often a lot of socializing while cooking. The open glass accordion sliding doors to the indoor terrace are almost always open, thanks to the sheltered location created by the surrounding outbuildings. This way, the garden is fully integrated into the indoor living space. The kitchen has a sturdy stainless steel cooking/washing island and is equipped with all luxuries; a large induction cooktop with integrated extraction, an extra-large sink with a boiling water tap, and the sleek black floor-to-ceiling cabinet wall houses an integrated coffee machine and combi-oven. The utility room, with connections for washing appliances, is tastefully hidden in the extension behind a cabinet wall in the same style as the kitchen.From the dining area, directly adjacent to the kitchen, there is also a beautiful view of the garden, the fields, and the horse arena. There is also another door to the outside here. The entire ground floor is fitted with a wooden PVC floor with high skirting boards and underfloor heating.UPPER FLOORThe landing provides access to two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, and plenty o
