Canal house Stavoren offers a rare blend of water, freedom, and nature, just steps from the IJsselmeer, where private mooring and sophisticated modern living come together. This energy-neutral A+++ property, built in 2020, stands on a plot of approximately 266 m² in a tranquil, water-rich villa neighbourhood. With 154 m² of living space, the design emphasises understated luxury and the serene rhythm of waterside living.
The canal house features five spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for family or guests. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan living area with light and frame calming views of the water and garden. A high-specification open kitchen anchors the main living area, offering direct sightlines to both the water at the back and the street-side canal. The entire home is finished with quality materials, including a tiled ground floor with underfloor heating throughout, complemented by a zone-controlled system managed via smartphone.
Outdoor living is centred around a northwest-facing garden with protected terrace, a wooden covered area with storage, and a shared jetty with swimming ladder—providing seamless access to Friesland’s extensive waterways and the IJsselmeer. The private mooring measures about 13 by 7 metres, ideal for a sailboat or motorboat. The property benefits from 27 solar panels, a heat pump with boiler, and full insulation for maximum efficiency.
Stavoren provides a vibrant year-round lifestyle with its harbour, amenities, and connection to beaches and forested Gaasterland. Both permanent and recreational use, as well as rental, are allowed, making this canal house in Stavoren a distinctive investment in comfort, privacy, and direct water access.
