The Veluwe is one of the Netherlands’ largest nature reserves and this reimagined mid-century bungalow nestles discreetly within it. Built in the 1950s, the 181sqm home was renovated in 2019 under architectural supervision, which saw warm, contemporary materials layered over its modernist structure. A new 83sqm studio extends the property, culminating in 264 square metres that feel deliberate and connected to their surroundings.

Past a private gate and winding forest drive, the residence unfolds among conifers and rhododendrons on nearly 2.3 hectares. Inside, a bespoke walnut kitchen with Gaggenau appliances anchors an open living space framed by glass walls and skylights. The connection to the outdoors is constant — terraces, a veranda and a heath garden offer year-round living within the landscape.

Of the two bedrooms, one is a serene master suite with a rosewood bathtub surround and forest views. A separate studio, added in 2022, serves as a workspace or guesthouse with its own kitchen and bathroom. A wood-fired barrel sauna and pond heighten the sense of immersion in nature.

Located near Apeldoorn, in the centre of Holland, the property and 22,975sqm of land are listed at €2,275,000.
