Elegant Thatched Villa ‘De Koekoek’ on the Prestigious Eeuwigelaan – Character, Comfort, and an Unrivalled Location
Nestled along one of the most beautiful lanes in North Holland – the prestigious Eeuwigelaan in Bergen – this exceptional thatched villa offers a rare combination of space, charm, and tranquillity. Behind its elegant gate lies a true sanctuary of refined living. With a generous living area of 391 m² (total gross area of 560 m²!) and a plot measuring 2,507 m², this detached residence embodies top-tier living.
The villa was fully renovated in 2010 with great care and attention to detail, blending luxury, functionality, and ambiance in perfect harmony. The property consists of a spacious main house with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an integrated garage, a charming guest house, and a separate annex currently serving as a gym and wellness area with a sauna.
Outdoors, a beautifully landscaped garden awaits, featuring multiple terraces, a natural swimming pond, lush greenery, and complete privacy. Here, outdoor living flows effortlessly into the comfort of the interior.
A unique living experience – immersed in nature, yet close to everything that makes Bergen so beloved.
SURROUNDINGS
The Eeuwigelaan is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive residential streets in the Netherlands. Here, you reside in peace on the edge of the expansive Bergerbos forest, with the dunes and North Sea beach just a stone’s throw away. The stately villas, spacious plots, and mature trees lend the street a timeless allure.
Bergen itself is a vibrant and artistic village, known for its cultural charm, lively centre filled with boutiques, galleries, cafés, and fine restaurants. The town also offers excellent schools – including an international school – and a wealth of sport and cultural amenities, such as the Kranenburgh Museum.
The location also provides easy access to Alkmaar, Amsterdam, and Schiphol Airport. Living here means enjoying the best of both worlds: peace, space, and nature – with the city always within reach.
LAYOUT
Ground floor
Beyond the electric gate, a stately driveway leads you through lush landscaping and gravel paths with ample parking space. Inside, the home immediately impresses with its sense of space and light. The welcoming entrance hall with staircase and guest WC opens into a grand living room featuring multiple French doors to the garden, a cozy fireplace, and an adjoining TV/study room – also with a fireplace and access to a terrace.
The adjacent live-in kitchen is the heart of the home: warm and fully equipped with a 7-burner gas stove, wine fridge, combination microwave, steam oven, Quooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and an inviting gas fireplace. The practical utility room with technical installations is accessible from the kitchen.
First floor
The spacious landing connects several comfortable bedrooms. There is a separate laundry room (also suitable as a bedroom), a large bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and multiple luxurious bathrooms featuring high-end fittings, rain showers, underfloor heating, and elegant finishes. The master suite is a highlight in itself: complete with a private bathroom, a generous walk-in closet, and French doors opening to a balcony with tranquil views over the garden.
Second floor
Two more full-sized bedrooms are located on the top floor – ideal for children, guests, or as hobby or workspaces.
Guest House
Built in the same architectural style as the main residence, the guest house is a fully self-contained living space. It includes a living room, open kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet, and a private bedroom – ideal for guests, an au pair, or adult children. Notably, the guest house has its own house number (25S), which means it can potentially be used independently, for example as a recreational rental, office, or home practice.
Annex / Gym & Sauna
The third building is currently set up as a gym and wellness space, including a sauna – a luxurious and highly functional addition to this already impressive property.
Garden
The garden has been designed with passion and vision: a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy life outdoors. Multiple sun-drenched terraces, a natural swimming pond, a summerhouse, and a carport make this outdoor space as versatile as it is beautiful.
