Gorgeously Green

About 900 metres from the sandy beaches of Ouddorp Duin, this sustainable home sits amid a family-friendly resort on the coast of South Holland. Close by, nature lovers will find the unusual Vogelobservatorium Tij observation deck in Scheelhoek's reserve. Alternatively, you may wish to play a peaceful round at Golfbaan Catharinenburg, or visit the beautiful Brouwersdam – just 4 kilometres away.

Built with natural materials and a forward-thinking vision, this eco-friendly home is intentionally stripped back inside. Each morning, gather your family for an alfresco breakfast on this private terrace, then rent a bike to explore the grounds. Perhaps you'll want to grab a bite to eat in the on-site restaurant, then take a dip in this clean-water swimming pond. While you can stay connected with the outside world through wi-fi, there's no TV or radio to distract you from creating lifelong memories. Imagine spending quality time together, thanks to picnics by the playpark and scenic road trips around the local area.
