After extensive preparation, the moment has finally arrived: the sale of four exclusive building plots at the most beautiful location in Abcoude, directly on the Abcoudermeer, is now underway!

Location – Living in a unique setting by the water

Something truly special is about to happen in what is arguably the most desirable location in Abcoude. On the shores of the picturesque Abcoudermeer, four exclusive building plots are now available. Here, surrounded by nature and overlooking tranquil waters, you can design and construct your own detached Meerhuis – a dream home fully tailored to your personal vision.

Living on the Abcoudermeer means escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life in a haven of peace and greenery, while still being less than fifteen minutes from Amsterdam. The charming village centre of Abcoude, with its rich array of amenities, is just a short stroll away.

Abcoude – The best of both worlds

Abcoude offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and urban convenience. Set amidst rivers such as the Gein and the Angstel, the village boasts a wide range of amenities, including boutique shops, artisan stores, welcoming cafés and fine restaurants. Excellent public transport links, childcare facilities, primary schools, equestrian centres, sports clubs and golf courses all contribute to an exceptional quality of life. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open countryside, historic estates, scenic cycling routes, and cultural heritage sites such as Fort Abcoude – part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam.

The Abcoudermeer – Waterside living and recreation

The Abcoudermeer offers outstanding recreational opportunities. In summer, residents enjoy swimming, boating and paddleboarding; in winter, the lake may even invite ice skating. The lake is part of a broader network of waterways, connected to the Amstel, the Vecht, the Gein, the Vinkeveense Plassen, the IJmeer and the canals of Amsterdam.

At this exceptionally sought-after, out-of-dike location, Meerhuizen now offers the rare opportunity to build your own waterfront home – complete with a spacious garden, sun-soaked terrace, private mooring and uninterrupted views over the water.

A rich history – and a promising future

The name Meerhuizen is inspired by the historical establishment ‘Het Meerhuis’, built in 1900 as a café, guesthouse and restaurant. Located along the Angstel River and the former main route between Amsterdam and Utrecht, it was a popular destination for affluent travellers. The site evolved into a lively recreational area, featuring tea houses along the river, a playground with a mini Ferris wheel, and a natural swimming area in the Abcoudermeer. In winter, it served as a refreshment stop for skaters; in summer, it was a beloved spot for food and drink.

Today, a new chapter is about to be written on this extraordinary site. With the development of four generous waterfront plots, history and modern living come together to offer something truly unique.

Meerhuizen is an exclusive project consisting of four building plots.
