Living in Graft: Coming Home to Your Own Nature Reserve

Live on open waterways with sweeping views over the Eilandspolder, in a fully renovated detached home with energy label A, plus a brand-new outbuilding—perfect as a guesthouse, B&B, or space for live-in care!

Some homes just have it. That feeling. The peace. The space. The wow factor. This detached house in Graft has it all. Paddleboard until sunset, skate right outside your front door, and wake up to blackbirds singing. This isn't a dream—this is your backyard. And if you think the outdoor lifestyle is the highlight, just wait until you step inside.

In 2024, this home was completely refurbished and made energy-efficient from top to bottom. Everything is new: the floors, window frames, electrical systems—all finished with high-quality materials. Highlights include:
- Oak herringbone flooring (ground floor);
- Underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathroom;
- Wooden flooring upstairs;
- HR++ glazing in hardwood frames;
- New kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and fuse box;
- Air conditioning units upstairs that heat in winter and cool in summer—powered by solar energy!

The kitchen is a dream for cooking enthusiasts, featuring an XL countertop, Quooker tap, induction cooktop with built-in extractor, combination microwave oven, dishwasher, and a large fridge-freezer.

The Living Room?
Bright and inviting, with French doors leading to the garden and a cozy wood-burning stove for winter nights. High ceilings and original exposed beams complete the picture. Part of the garage has been integrated into the living area, creating even more space! Planning an extension? The foundation is already in place.

First Floor:
Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, one of which has been transformed into a generous walk-in closet adjoining the master bedroom—easily converted back into two separate bedrooms if needed. The luxurious bathroom features underfloor heating, dual natural stone sinks with gunmetal taps, an oak vanity unit, a walk-in shower, and a second toilet.

The Garden:
The outdoor space is an experience in itself—large, green, and boundless. Camp under the stars, play volleyball, lounge in the sun, or simply gaze in silence at the water. Every spring, the magnolia tree puts on a breathtaking natural show, right on your own property.

In 2025, the front garden was redesigned with a driveway that fits three cars and a carport. At the rear of the garden stands a brand-new, fully insulated outbuilding, complete with its own central heating, modern bathroom, and kitchen. Ideal as:
- A guesthouse;
- Accommodation for live-in care;
- A B&B;
- A home office or practice space.

Built on a new (piled) foundation, this is not just a garden shed—this is quality extra living space with real potential.

The seller says:
“For ten years, I traveled the world—from Africa to Asia. But I’ve never seen skies as beautiful as here. The sunsets? Absolutely magical.”
