Living on the water in Utrecht – surrounded by nature, peace, and the soothing sounds of water and wildlife – that’s exactly what this extraordinary floating home offers. Here, you don't just live on the water; you live with the water.

Imagine paddling through the neighborhood, boating to the nearby Haarrijnse Plas, or taking a refreshing swim right from your terrace in summer. Each season brings a new backdrop: from balmy summers full of swimming and paddleboarding to colorful autumn days, peaceful winters with misty mornings or – if you're lucky – crackling ice, and then the vibrant spring when everything comes alive again. Thanks to the large windows and its position on a wide canal, you’re surrounded by greenery, and yet Utrecht’s city center is just 15 minutes away. It’s hard not to fall in love with this place – and we haven’t even talked about the beautifully finished and immaculately maintained houseboat itself.

Let us take you on a tour of this unique home:
You enter via a charming footbridge and are immediately welcomed into a bright, open space filled with natural light. Because the houseboat is positioned widthwise, the spacious living room feels even more expansive, with large windows offering breathtaking water views that change with the seasons. The open-plan layout creates a natural flow between the cozy lounge and the inviting dining area – perfect for relaxed evenings or entertaining friends and family.

The modern kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring high-quality built-in appliances and ample storage. Cooking becomes a true experience here, with the gentle sounds of the water as your calming backdrop. Step directly outside from the living area and choose between two unique outdoor spaces: the floating deck right on the water, ideal for sunbathing, drinks, or a cooling dip – and the spacious rooftop terrace of approx. 90 m², a perfect spot for creating a green oasis, lounge area, or hosting a barbecue with waterfront views. This terrace is newly renovated in 2025. On the same (main) level near the entrance, you’ll also find a modern toilet with wall-mounted WC and a sleek washbasin.

Downstairs, the lower level houses two generously sized bedrooms, each with serene views over the water. Whether you’re waking up or winding down, the view provides an instant holiday feeling. The stylish bathroom features a large walk-in shower and a double vanity. In the hallway, there’s a second separate toilet and built-in storage closets offering plenty of space.

The location is fantastic: in the peaceful Terwijde neighborhood of Leidsche Rijn, with everything you need close by – shops, cafes, schools, parks, sports clubs, and NS train stations. The nearest bus stop is just a 3-minute walk, and both Maximapark and Haarrijnse Plas are practically around the corner. By car, you’re quickly on the A2, A12, or A27 motorways. And yet, coming home feels like arriving at a tranquil hideaway where nature and water take center stage.
