MASTERS looks at the Netherlands' most expensive home

A swimming pool, home cinema, luxury bar, pool table and even a tennis court. Did you think you had to fly to Beverly Hills for that? Wrong. This spacious home is located in Laren. MASTERS took a look behind the doors of the most expensive villa in the Netherlands currently for sale.

According to Christie's International Real Estate, Villa Logosberg is an unparalleled combination of extraordinary architecture and craftsmanship: “Walking through the magical splendor of the Zuiderheide nature reserve in 'the Garden of Amsterdam', or Het Gooi, you wonder: can man match the beauty of nature? The answer is a resounding 'yes'. In fact, sometimes we even surpass it. In truly the most beautiful location in Laren, bordering the Zuiderheide, stands Villa Logosberg. This country house embodies the ultimate in residential living, thanks to extraordinary architecture, craftsmanship, the best materials and a truly unique landscape. Here a vision has been brought to life in the form of a villa of exceptional quality.”

Willem Willemstein, member of the Quote 500, bought this plot according to Parameters in 2007 for €7.25 million from the Brenninkmeijers. The renovation, which cost €22 million, yielded a stunning result. The grounds were designed by the famous French landscape architect Jean Mus, who surrounded the country house with water features and greenery. Inside and outside flow effortlessly into each other thanks to the stylish outdoor room. And the absolute gem? That is the Olympic swimming pool, surrounded by terraces and a spacious pool house where you can relax in style.

On the ground floor you will find a spacious indoor pool with separate hot tub, a 5-star spa, a luxury bar and a fully equipped home cinema.

An official asking price has not been announced, but according to market experts, anyone who wants to take over Villa Logosberg from its current owner should expect to pay around € 40 million.
