Mansion With Stunning Park Garden At The Old City Walls Of Vianen, Near Utrecht.

At first glance, this appears to be a centuries-old castle villa, but nothing could be further from the truth. This phenomenal villa was actually ’only’ built in 1969 by a renowned construction entrepreneur. Drawing on knowledge of historical architectural styles and materials, he created a truly unique and grand castle villa, his own dream castle. Not only is the building itself exceptional; so too is its location: within the fortress, against the ancient city walls and along the old canals of Vianen, just 18 km from Utrecht and 40 km from Amsterdam. There is even more that earns this villa the label of unique and magnificent. Take a walk through the remarkable park garden, which fully exudes the grandeur of historic nobility yet with all the comforts and amenities of modern living, including a swimming pool and garden room. A true paradise, first and foremost for its residents, but certainly also for the birds that eagerly visit the garden over the city wall.

Historic living with every conceivable comfort
The grand front staircase forms a promising entrance to this villa and those promises are fulfilled immediately upon entering the spacious hallway with its marble floor. The ground floor (bel étage) offers five rooms, with emphasis on the classic living room featuring beautiful windows and a gas fireplace. The dining room is equally impressive, alongside a separate kitchen with an ornamental ceiling and rich wood paneling. Two sets of French doors provide access to a unique terrace against the historic city wall, offering phenomenal views. The study at the front is also a gem, while the first floor provides ample space with five bedrooms and two full bathrooms. In addition, there is a basement level (souterrain), functioning as a complete living space with a lounge (gentlemen’s room), two bedrooms, a bathroom, and various storage areas. Along the city wall, a spacious wine cellar has been beautifully created, accessible both from the basement and the garden.

Park garden with numerous amenities
Located in the heart of Vianen and close to Utrecht, this property offers peace and space. The park garden with pond has been carefully and lovingly designed and landscaped, and has fully matured. Its size (4,742 m²) creates exceptional possibilities, all of which have been fully utilized. These include a beautiful garden room with a covered terrace and toilet, offering views of the garden, children’s playground, and pond with fountain. There is also a rose-covered gazebo, espalier pear trees along the city wall, a greenhouse, and a chicken run. And last but not least: a swimming pool with veranda.
