Cottage for sale, Zuidzande RBU04451

This high-quality rural villa with unparalleled allure is located in the heart of the picturesque countryside of Zuidzande. We are pleased to present “Het Spiegelmeer”. A three-hectare estate with a rural villa, a large thatched barn housing numerous facilities and a landscaped lake. The whole property is truly idyllic. 'Het Spiegelmeer', located on Molenweg in Zuidzande, is a true architectural masterpiece by renowned architect Dominique Koch. She has seamlessly combined her deep-rooted connection with West Zeeland Flanders and typical cottage style with the surrounding landscape. Every volume, every view and every line of the estate has been carefully tailored to its surroundings. The reflection of the water, the vast skies and the rhythm of the landscape are not only respected, they are enhanced. The result is a serene living environment with various elements that exude tranquillity and refinement. The mirror lake is more than just living. It is living in harmony with the landscape. The property: This characterful farmhouse, with four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, was completed in 2017 with great attention to detail. The design exudes the atmosphere of rural living, but at the same time is fully adapted to today's requirements in terms of comfort. No expense was spared in the choice of materials for the finish: every element exudes quality and craftsmanship. The house has a partially thatched roof, beautifully constructed, which further emphasises its rural character and gives it a unique appearance. Inside, custom-made cupboards ensure a seamless and practical layout. The attractive brick fireplace is a warm eye-catcher in the living room and contributes to the homely atmosphere. Special attention has also been paid to the upholstery, with high-quality materials and a stylish use of colour that perfectly complement the whole. This house is a paragon of rustic elegance combined with contemporary living comfort. The kitchen is the eye-catcher of the building. The walls are covered with deep blue, hand-formed tiles, which have a lively and almost artistic character thanks to their glossy finish and subtle colour variations. They form a powerful backdrop for the warm wooden kitchen cabinets, made of rustic wood with visible grain and knots. A special feature is the light natural stone worktop, which is not only practical but also contributes aesthetically to the traditional character of the space. The solid sink, also carved from natural stone, emphasises the feeling of durability and craftsmanship. This is reinforced by the terracotta-coloured tiled floors and the visible wooden beams on the ceiling, which together create a warm, rustic atmosphere with a contemporary touch. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spacious dining room, where the same sense of naturalness and craftsmanship continues. The wooden floor with wide, weathered planks connects the two spaces visually and substantively. Centrally located is an imposing oval dining table made of solid wood, resting on a black pedestal. A real eye-catcher is the large, cylindrical lamp above the table, finished in black with a gold-coloured interior and playful insect decorations – a subtle work of art that gives the room character without dominating it. Thanks to the large sliding glass doors, the room is bathed in natural light and the outdoors becomes a natural part of the interior. The view of the water and the surrounding garden creates tranquillity, space and a feeling of freedom. The kitchen and dining room are not separate elements, but together form a living space that invites you to get together, cook and enjoy. An interior that is not only stylish, but also tells a story – of careful choices, love of materials and an eye for detail. The thatched country hall: The Landzaal is an impressive part of the estate – a former agricultural outbuilding that has been transformed with respect for its history and a sense of style into a multifunctional space of exceptional class. What was once an authentic barn is now a characterful place where the past and present merge harmoniously. The large open space is characterised by the beautiful wooden trusses that have been left fully exposed. The heavy oak beams, with their original traditional joints, support the imposing roof and give the space its unique atmosphere and historical value. The roof itself has also been restored with an eye for detail and, together with the warm red baked floor tiles, forms a robust, natural base. These materials exude authenticity and create a warm, inviting ambiance. Rustic elements and modern comforts come together seamlessly in this space. The Landzaal features underfloor heating, atmospheric lighting and large windows offering views of the surrounding greenery and water, while a monumental fireplace adds extra cachet. The space is flexible and can be used for dinners, receptions, workshops or intimate celebrations. The swimming pool: The swimming pool itself is stylishly finished with fine mosaic tiles that give the water a sparkling, luxurious look. The subtle, dimmable lighting creates a warm atmosphere, perfectly suited to any time of day. From an invigorating morning dip to a soothing evening session in silence. The space is equipped with a powerful jet stream installation, ideal for those who want to swim competitively or be massaged by the current. The entire pool area is designed as an intimate private wellness space, with a focus on tranquillity, comfort and exclusivity. Large wooden shutters along the long side of the pool can be opened for fresh air and a view of the greenery, but can also remain completely closed for maximum privacy. The warm colour palette of dark green and natural stone is combined with the original wooden styles and trusses of the old barn, creating a unique atmosphere in which authenticity and relaxation go hand in hand. Adjacent to the swimming pool is a discreet and stylishly designed shower room, finished in light tiles with a sleek walk-in shower and modern rain shower head. There is also a private toilet, so guests or residents can use all sanitary facilities in complete peace and without leaving the space. The concierge house: The large thatched barn also has a separate loft with a balcony overlooking the large lake. The space is fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The lake: Centrally located on the estate is a beautiful artificial lake that lends a serene character to the landscape. The lake forms the beating heart of the surroundings and reflects the tranquillity, space and beauty of this special property. The Spiegelmeer is a piece of Zoute nostalgia in the polder landscape of West Zeeland Flanders: a luxurious, harmonious living environment where nature and buildings do not interfere with each other but merely reinforce each other.
