A One-of-a-Kind Property in the Heart of the Frisian Lakes Area〞
Located in the heart of the South West Friesland Frisian Lakes region, this fantastic home is designed by renowned architect Gunnar Daan. Situated on a wide navigable waterway, the property offers phenomenal, panoramic views of the water and surrounding nature. The total plot size is 1,650 m², including a private docking harbor, a walking and dinghy jetty, and a separate wooden storage shed. The plot directly borders the wide water of the Grons, Flakke Brekken, and Oudegaaster Brekken. In addition, there are numerous beautiful boating routes in the immediate vicinity, including to the Grote Gaastmeer, Fluessen/Heegermeer, as well as stunning nature reserves and birdwatching areas. The area also offers bike routes to Workum, Oudega, and Heidenskip. By bike or ferry (within walking distance), you can cross to Nijhuizum and Workum, and follow the Brekkenpaed along the lakes to Oudega.
Architect Gunnar Daan is known for designing a variety of objects, including houses, commercial buildings, sculptures, and furniture. TWA was founded in 1972 in Oosternijkerk by Gunnar Daan. Initially under his own name, the firm later became GDA Architects. In 2005, Bauke Tuinstra and Doeke van Wieren succeeded him, and the firm was renamed TWA Architects – the acronym ′TWA′ also means ′two′ in Frisian. Since 2004, they have been working from the former flour mill ′De Eendracht′ in Burdaard on their projects.
