Van Vollenhovenlaan 1

Exclusive building plot Villa KaréolBosch of 10,730m² with building and garden plan in Aerdenhout.

*** Please note: the property details listed (year of construction, volume, living area) refer to the existing villa from 1977 currently situated on the plot. However, the offering concerns the unique building plot of 10,730 m², including a fully developed architectural and landscaping plan for a contemporary design villa.

On the dead-end and leafy Van Vollenhovenlaan in Aerdenhout, there is a unique, spacious plot of 10,730 m² of private land. This plot is the southernmost part of the original estate ‘Kareol’. This estate was built around 1910 by order of Julius Carl Bunge and was considered one of the largest private homes in the Netherlands at the time. Today, this plot offers the opportunity to write history yourself with an exclusive design villa, fully integrated into the surrounding landscape.

The construction plan, designed by Heiko Hulsker & Partners Architects, concerns a modern, robust villa of approx. 835m² GO with a modest but expressive design. Large windows and playful voids ensure a light and spacious living experience that harmonises with the wooded surroundings. The floor plan is well thought out and tailored to contemporary living requirements: space, comfort, sustainability and safety. The villa is designed with a volume of 3,226m³, divided over three full-fledged living floors, an attic floor and outbuildings. The orientation, location and mass structure are fully tailored to the terrain and the sunlight. Thanks to the permit-free construction applied, the maximum possibilities of the zoning plan have been utilised. A design with less building volume is of course also possible.

The garden vision of Studio Redd garden and landscape architects fits in seamlessly with this architecture. The existing tree structure has been carefully inventoried and forms the starting point for a natural and flowing garden design. The house is placed organically in the landscape, with green structures that guide sight lines and create a sense of security. The entrance is given a stately character with a spacious landing and a square formed by outbuildings subduedly encloses a swimming pool. The garden offers various outdoor spaces, each with their own atmosphere, from open and sunny to intimate and sheltered. In the forest on the north side, a place has been created to enjoy nature in peace, connected by a winding footpath that opens up the plot.

The location is quiet and natural, but at the same time central: within cycling distance of Heemstede-Aerdenhout station and close to Haarlem, Amsterdam, Schiphol, dunes and beach. Aerdenhout is known for its monumental avenues, villa architecture, nearby nature reserves such as Zuid-Kennemerland National Park and the Amsterdam Waterleidingduinen, and the atmosphere of space and quality of life.

This plot with building plan represents a rare opportunity: a landscape total design in which living, architecture and nature merge into an exclusive whole 'Gesamtkunstwerk' for those who seek the extraordinary.
