Description
Corner House with Open Views in Buitendijke*
*Buitendijke is the neighborhood located outside the dike: the old IJsselmeer dike. Within walking distance of the village center with its centuries-old, tree-lined village green (“De Brink”), as well as the shops, restaurants, and cafés along Dorpsstraat and the IJsselmeer beach.
In the 1980s, approximately 500 homes were built in this area. With or without a dog, you can enjoy walks along the old IJsselmeer dike and the IJsselmeer beach. Buitendijke offers a daycare center, after-school care, a preschool, and a primary school. Just outside the neighborhood is “De Rijver,” originally built as a gymnasium for the school. Today, it offers a wide range of activities such as yoga, bridge, chess, and table tennis. The building also houses meeting rooms, a WMO service desk (providing support services for the elderly and people with disabilities), and a general practitioner. The local music association G.A. Heinze also rehearses and performs here.
Greenery surrounds the neighborhood and is also found in the small squares between the houses, where communal gardens include playground equipment for children. For teenagers, there is a football field/skate park.
The area has two bus stops and is conveniently located near major access roads to ’t Gooi and Amsterdam. Via the A6, the Flevoland polders can be reached quickly. In winter, the Vinkenplas often turns into a natural ice-skating rink.
Tennis, hockey, and football fields—as well as a riding school—are all within cycling distance.
Muiderberg “by the sea”
Around 1900, Muiderberg was a modest farming village on the Zuiderzee coast. Thanks to the Gooische steam tram, the village became easily accessible from Amsterdam. Many farmers earned extra income in the summer by renting out all or part of their homes, while retreating themselves to barns or stables. Such arrangements required a great deal of tolerance—and that same spirit of hospitality still exists today.
Those coming from the city who appreciate the leafy, green surroundings of Muiderberg are still warmly welcomed. The open waters of the IJsselmeer and the abundant greenery in and around the village are cherished and protected. Even after decades of new development over the past 60 years, Muiderberg remains an oasis of peace and green space. Outside rush hour, Amsterdam can be reached in just 10 minutes by car, or by bicycle in approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on pace. With the A1 and A6 nearby, Muiderberg is well connected to the entire Randstad as well as the northern and eastern regions of the Netherlands. There are bus connections to the NS railway stations in Naarden-Bussum and Weesp.
In and around Muiderberg, you can enjoy cycling, walking, horseback riding, swimming, sailing, surfing, and kitesurfing. There are also facilities for tennis, hockey, and football. “De Rijver” offers a wide range of indoor sports activities.
The village provides ample shopping options and a choice of two primary schools. Muiderberg offers an ideal living environment for both young and old. Unique is the historic, tree-lined village green (“De Brink”), where nature flows seamlessly into the heart of the village. The residential areas developed in the 1950s and 1960s are also rich in green spaces.
And then there is something that goes beyond all practical advantages—something you must experience for yourself. No matter where your preference lies, as a new resident you will immediately feel at home in Muiderberg. It is comforting to be surrounded by like-minded people. It is no coincidence that so many residents have consciously chosen this village. Those who wish are effortlessly welcomed into a close-knit community united by their love for the place they live, where people know one another and greet each other. In short, Muiderberg is a place where you can truly be yourself.

Attic storage
Practical attic storage space spanning almost the full width of the house, measuring approximately 5.16 x 2.42 metres.
