A WATERFRONT MASTERPIECE ON THE REEUWIJK LAKES<br /><br />A Work of Art You Can Live In<br /><br />Set on the idyllic Ravensberg Lake in Reeuwijk – regarded by connoisseurs as the most beautiful of the thirteen Reeuwijk Lakes for its exclusivity, open vistas, natural islands and serene tranquility – this exceptional waterfront estate combines timeless architecture with a lifestyle defined by peace, privacy, and perfection.<br /><br />Just 20 minutes from Rotterdam and 30 minutes from both Utrecht and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, this residence offers the rare harmony of natural seclusion and urban accessibility. The estate spans nearly 10 acres (approx. 39,000 m²) of privately owned land and water, including two private islands, a true rarity in the Netherlands.<br /><br />Built to an impeccable standard in 1995 and further refined since 2016, the home embraces its setting with panoramic views of the water and a seamless connection to nature from every room.<br /><br />The elegant entrance hall (with cloakroom and guest lavatory) opens into an expansive living room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and a charming fireplace, creating an atmosphere of understated grandeur. The designer kitchen is a culinary dream—centered around a generous island, fitted with top-tier appliances, and extending into a spacious dining area. French doors lead to the terraces and manicured gardens along Ravensberg Lake, where the scenery transforms with every hour of the day.<br /><br />The primary suite is perfectly positioned to capture panoramic lake and garden views, complete with a luxurious spa-style bathroom featuring a soaking tub, double walk-in shower, and dual vanities, as well as a private dressing room. The upper level hosts three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, all designed with comfort, calm, and light in mind. Throughout, the residence exudes a timeless elegance—defined by natural materials, generous proportions, and serene lake views in every direction.<br /><br />The award-winning landscaped gardens are a triumph of design and tranquility. Each vista is thoughtfully composed; every terrace offers its own perspective on water, light, and space. From the orchard and vegetable garden to the serene lawns and lakeside decks, the property invites you to experience outdoor living in its purest form. As night falls, subtle lighting transforms the grounds into an enchanting private retreat—an intimate paradise from sunrise to sunset.<br /><br />A separate guesthouse or coach house of approximately 150 m² (1,600 sq.ft.), built in the same architectural style as the main residence, offers remarkable versatility. Perfect as a private office, guest accommodation, au-pair suite, or multigenerational living. The ground floor features a garage, kitchen, and living area; the upper floor houses a spacious bedroom and modern bathroom with walk-in shower and separate lavatory.<br /><br />To complement the estate's tranquil atmosphere, a lakeside sauna and wellness pavilion invite total relaxation. Evenings by the firepit at the water's edge—surrounded by friends, nature, and stillness—capture the essence of refined Dutch waterfront living, right in the heart of the Randstad metropolitan region.<br /><br />Ravensberg Lake is the only private lake among the Reeuwijk Lakes—an enclave known for its unspoiled beauty, pristine waters, and limited access. From here, you can navigate the entire lake district by boat, yet return to complete seclusion and silence at home. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the few true lake estates in the Netherlands—where freedom, nature, and architecture meet in perfect balance.<br /><br />Highlights:<br /><br />* Prime waterfront position on Ravensberg Lake in Reeuwijk<br />* Nearly 10 acres (approx. 38,980 m²) of privately owned land and water<br />* Exclusive access via two private bridges<br />* Main residence approx. 314 m² (3,380 sq.ft.)<br />* Detached guesthouse approx. 150 m² (1,615 sq.ft.)<br />* Five bedrooms, three bathrooms<br />* Built 1995, extensively upgraded from 2016 onwards<br />* Award-winning landscaped gardens and orchard<br />* Private garage and ample on-site parking<br />* 28 solar panels (installed 2022) — Energy label B<br /><br />A ONE-OF-A-KIND MASTERPIECE<br />'s-Gravenbroekseweg 35, Reeuwijk – a private sanctuary of natural beauty, architectural distinction, and effortless sophistication.
