Contemporary Elegance on the Dike
Be surprised by the characteristic appearance and generous layout of this newly completed detached dike villa. Part of the prestigious “De Krijgsman” development in Muiden, this impressive property combines modern architecture with a warm, robust feel and a stunning thatched roof.
Located front row on the shores of the IJmeer, the villa offers spectacular views of the water and a deep garden stretching to the dike. It boasts 246 m² of living space on a 351 m² plot, complemented by a private bridge to an additional garden (“overtuin”) and a private mooring for a sloop.
Designed by Abbink x Co Architects with high-quality materials and distinctive detailing, this villa is a unique addition to the other dike villas by O5B, Faro, ZVA, and Hoogeveen Architects. The contemporary design, with vertical wooden cladding, steel-like panels, strong lines, and large windows, gives it a unique presence. Indoors you will find a calm, refined ambiance with premium finishes. An A+++ energy label, heat pump, balanced ventilation, 3,240 Wp of solar panels, and ground cooling guarantee sustainable, future-proof living with year-round comfort.
Ground Floor The welcoming hallway gives access to a spacious, garden-oriented kitchen with double French doors, large windows, and seamless connections to the outdoors. The kitchen offers plenty of room for cooking, dining, and living, with space for a large island or family table. A practical pantry, indoor storage, and a front-facing work/playroom complete the ground floor — perfect for families or those working from home.
First Floor Here you will find a bright living area with views over the dike, creating a peaceful and stylish setting. Additionally, there are two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom with walk-in shower and double sinks, plus a separate toilet. As with the other floors, the finishes are of high standard with attention to light and serenity.
Second Floor The top floor serves as a sleeping area with three bedrooms, a second bathroom, and another separate toilet. The master bedroom is generously sized, with space for a dressing area or seating nook. This floor is also perfect for use as a guest suite, hobby space, or studio.
Outdoors The villa is surrounded by a spacious garden with terraces, lawn, and a private bridge leading to the additional “overtuin” of approximately 1,000 m², directly bordering a wide canal. This green haven, part of the ownership, offers possibilities for a veranda, pavilion, or a second mooring. The dike location provides privacy at the front and openness at the rear, creating a sense of freedom and tranquility. From this additional garden, you can walk straight onto the dike for a morning jog or a stroll along the IJmeer.
Water sports enthusiasts will appreciate the villa’s private mooring in a sheltered waterway, perfect for docking a sloop and exploring the IJmeer, Pampus, or the Vecht on sunny days.
The total plot measures an impressive 1,348 m², including two private parking spaces on site — a rare luxury in this sought-after area.
