Farmhouse Akkrum with direct mooring invites a balance of refined architecture and serene water-side living. This newly built farmhouse, completed in 2019, offers 401 m² of living space within a 4,914 m² plot, featuring a 100-metre-long private quay on the Nije Wetering, linking seamlessly to Friesland's famed lakes. The farmhouse combines traditional Frisian form with discreet modernity, expressed in its zinc-clad risaliet and full insulation. Sustainable features define the residence: low-maintenance synthetic window frames, geothermal heating with a cooling module, heat recovery system, and thirty-eight solar panels, all culminating in energy class A.
The ground floor centres on a light-filled kitchen-lounge of 107 m², adjoining expansive living and dining areas with terrace access via sliding doors, drawing in open vistas of water and greenery. Five bedrooms and four elegant bathrooms ensure private comfort, while a dedicated office offers space for contemplation or work. A 75 m² insulated barn with underfloor heating and double stable doors allows for generous parking or further living potential. Throughout, a poured floor with underfloor heating creates a seamless, tactile rhythm.
Upstairs, the master suite of 46 m² commands panoramic water views from its floor-to-ceiling windows, its en-suite bathroom finished with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms, all spacious and bathed in natural light, echo the farmhouse’s understated luxury. A full-height attic with industrial steel trusses and rustic beams is ready for storage or conversion, with abundant daylight from three roof windows.
Outdoors, landscaped and fully fenced gardens blend fruit trees, espaliered lindens, and hydrangeas, while the private quay on the dead-end canal—part of the standing mast route—offers direct access to Friesland’s waters. This setting is a haven for boating enthusiasts, with easy access by road or train from Akkrum to Groningen, Zwolle, or the Randstad. The farmhouse in Akkrum stands as a rare convergence of timeless design, privacy, and unrivaled access to the Dutch lake district—a home that quietly redefines rural luxury.
