Koppelstraat 26
An architecturally redesigned family villa, situated in a peaceful and green setting along one of the region’s most beautiful tree-lined avenues. The villa was completely modernised between 2022 and 2024 using high-quality materials and finished in a timeless, stylish design. The property features a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, a multifunctional study and/or playroom, four bedrooms and a spacious wellness bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly striking feature, extending into the roof ridge and fitted with electrically operated louvres in the gable, creating an impressive and light-filled space. At the rear, an exceptionally deep garden of approximately 50 metres stretches south-east, surrounded by mature greenery and offering a high degree of privacy.
Tuinstraat 28
Centuries ago, a monastery farm stood here. Today, Tuinstraat 28 in Beek en Donk, North Brabant, is home to a detached country house where space, character and 100% privacy come together. A long private driveway leads to this truly exceptional property, set entirely on its own at the edge of the village, surrounded by farmland and with Eyckenlust Castle as its neighbour. Here, the views stretch far across the surrounding countryside, while the Aa Canal flows through the landscape and swans glide peacefully past. The impressive 6,500 m² plot offers ample space for an idyllic outdoor lifestyle, while the village centre is still close by.
At the end of 2013, the current owners immediately fell in love with this extraordinary setting. Since then, they have carefully modernised the property, including new window frames with HR++ glazing, a renewed thatched roof and a beautifully landscaped garden. In fact, ‘garden’ is almost too modest a word: the grounds feel more like a private estate, complete with meadow, orchard and vegetable garden.
Inside, the house offers generous living space, including a spacious kitchen-diner, an atmospheric living room with French doors opening onto the garden, and a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are three further spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom. At the front of the property there is a double carport, while behind the house is a double garage, accompanied by an additional outbuilding for storage. There is therefore plenty of room for cars, hobbies, equipment, children and small animals.
SUSTAINABILITY
The property is energy-efficient and has an energy rating of B, close to an A rating. The external walls and roofs have been additionally insulated in recent years, significantly improving both living comfort and energy performance. Heating is provided by a central-heating boiler in combination with warm-air heating and partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. The outbuildings also offer space for the installation of solar panels, providing further opportunities to improve the home's sustainability.
The country house has undergone extensive modernisation and energy improvements in recent years. It has been fitted with new Merbau window frames with HR++ glazing and improved roof insulation. The thatched roof was partially renewed in 2015 and partially in 2023. Both the country house and the double garage have insulated roof panels. Since 2021, the double garage has also been fitted with new fired-clay roof tiles.
In the living room, the soapstone wood-burning stove provides a wonderfully cosy warmth. Soapstone has the ability to retain heat for a long time and then release it gradually, making it a natural source of warmth and comfort.
The electrical meter cabinet was renewed in 2018, while Red Cedar roof overhangs and insect screens have also been installed. Thanks to its natural insulating properties, the thatched roof contributes to a pleasant indoor climate, helping to keep the house cooler in summer and retain warmth more effectively in winter.

GROUND FLOOR – LIVING WING
The house is entered as it should be: via the practical entrance at the rear, the starting point of everyday life in this home. The formal front entrance also provides a particularly welcoming arrival, but it is the rear of the country house that truly sets the rhythm of daily life.
Immediately upon entering, the atmospheric kitchen-diner takes centre stage. It is fully equipped with a gas cooker, fan oven, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher (2023). The adjoining seating area invites you to linger, while daylight creates a constantly changing atmosphere throughout the day: morning sun at breakfast, afternoon light while cooking and the warm evening sun accompanying the final glass of wine. The French doors, a recurring feature throughout the house, connect the kitchen seamlessly with the terrace, allowing indoors and outdoors to flow naturally into one another.
A practical entrance hall connects the kitchen with the living room, with the utility room beyond. The utility room is equipped with laundry appliances and has its own access to the garden, as well as a generous guest cloakroom.
The living room radiates warmth and character. A soapstone wood-burning stove forms the focal point of the room and, on cold days, retains its heat for hours after the fire has gone out — a quiet companion for long winter evenings.
GROUND FLOOR – BEDROOM WING
A complete bedroom wing on the ground floor provides an exceptional level of comfort and privacy. The generous principal bedroom has direct access to the outdoors and connects to a walk-in dressing room. The bedroom is accessible from the central hallway.

Next to the garage is outbuilding 2, a spacious multifunctional area of approximately 60 m².

If desired, the space could also be used as an additional garage or covered storage area.
OUTBUILDING 3: DOUBLE CARPORT
Since 2016, the front of the property has also featured a double carport, providing additional covered parking on the grounds.
GARDEN & OUTDOOR LIVING
Designed and landscaped with great care and passion, the garden forms a beautiful, green setting around the country house. Thanks to its varied planting, the garden offers colour and character in every season. Peonies, hellebores, butterfly bushes and guelder rose create a constantly changing landscape throughout the year. Mature trees provide shelter, tranquillity and a wonderfully established character.
Several terraces are positioned throughout the grounds, including one directly adjoining the house. The two ponds are atmospheric features and offer numerous opportunities to enjoy the surrounding nature. Children have plenty of space to play safely outdoors, while the combination of water, greenery and animals makes the grounds particularly appealing to a family.
The approximately 1,000 m² orchard is a valuable part of the property and contains a variety of fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry, apricot and plum. An enclosed section provides space for keeping hobby animals such as chickens, adding to the rural atmosphere and the sense of outdoor living. There is also ample space for a private vegetable garden.
The generous lawn is easily maintained with a robotic lawnmower, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the garden, orchard and outdoor lifestyle. The property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, nature, space and the opportunity to make the most of life outdoors.
LOCATION & VIEWS
Here, you live in an exceptionally private and green setting, directly alongside the Aa Canal. The property is situated at the end of the quiet, no-through Tuinstraat, followed by a long private driveway leading to the country house. A gate marks the entrance and reinforces the sense of privacy and exclusivity. From the moment you arrive, you experience the peace and freedom of the countryside.
From the country house, you enjoy phenomenal, far-reaching views across the surrounding farmland. Very few other homes are visible in the wider surroundings, while the property offers uninterrupted views of nature, flora and fauna. The location alongside the Aa Canal, the mature trees, greenery and generous layout create an exceptional sense of peace and privacy.
And yet, everyday amenities are surprisingly close. Piet van Thielplein in the centre of Beek en Donk can be reached on foot in approximately 10 minutes. Here you will find shops, cafés, restaurants and a range of everyday amenities. Schools are also located nearby.
For nature lovers and walkers, Eyckenlust estate is close at hand. From the house, you can walk straight onto the estate and into the surrounding countryside.

Strong architectural lines, high-quality materials and an approximately 11-metre-high entrance hall with double front doors create an impressive first impression.
3. GENEROUS LIVING SPACE AND HIGH-END KITCHEN
The luxurious kitchen forms the heart of the villa and connects directly to two dining areas: an elegant dining room and a fully glazed garden/dining room. Together with the generous living room and high-quality kitchen appliances, this creates a versatile and inviting living environment.
4. EXCLUSIVE MASTER SUITE
The top floor forms a remarkable private suite featuring exposed oak beams, a freestanding bathtub, a generous walk-in shower and refined finishes.
5. SWIMMING POOL AND STYLISH DETACHED OUTBUILDING
The landscaped, family-friendly garden features a fenced swimming pool, outdoor shower and multiple terraces. The fully insulated detached outbuilding is currently used as a gym. A wonderful outdoor setting for the entire family, with open views of the green ecological zone at the rear of the garden.
ENTRANCE
The generous driveway leads to the entrance of the villa. Here, the architecture immediately makes an impression: high-quality materials and a distinctive interplay of lines come together beautifully. The imposing entrance hall, with its double front doors, rises to an impressive 11 metres, creating an exceptional sense of space from the moment you enter.
To the right is a bright and versatile room, currently used as a playroom. It is equally well suited as a home office, hobby room or television room and can easily be adapted to suit your individual needs.
The entrance hall also features a floating guest toilet with matching vanity and washbasin, as well as a separate cloakroom. Black steel doors form a stylish recurring element throughout the villa, elegantly connecting the various spaces.
LIVING ROOM
From the entrance hall, double floor-to-ceiling steel doors open into the generous living room. The space features a beautiful herringbone timber floor and offers ample room at the front for a generous seating area.
The understated material palette, generous proportions and tall windows create an inviting living space in which architecture, natural light and comfort come together effortlessly.
DINIGN ROOM
A stylish wall with an integrated gas fireplace provides a natural division between the living room and dining room. Both spaces retain their own character while remaining visually and functionally connected.
The generous dining room comfortably accommodates a large dining table and provides an inviting setting for entertaining family and friends. Thanks to the expansive windows, the room enjoys a direct connection to both the kitchen and the garden, together with beautiful, unobstructed views.
KITCHEN
The architecture takes centre stage in the kitchen as well. The concrete floor, refined bespoke cabinetry and generous central island come together to create a powerful yet elegant whole.
The generous proportions provide ample space for the central island, with the PITT Cooking units seamlessly integrated into the worktop. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a refrigerator, freezer, Quooker, dishwasher, steam oven and conventional oven. A wine climate cabinet completes the kitchen.
Towards the utility room is a particularly inviting coffee corner, beautifully crafted in bespoke cabinetry and finished with designer wallpaper. A high-quality coffee machine makes this stylish setting an appealing place to enjoy a daily coffee.
GARDEN / DINING ROOM
Directly adjoining the kitchen is this stylish garden/dining room, which was fitted with generous glazed sliding walls in 2024/2025. This has created an additional living space with a seamless connection to the garden throughout the seasons.
On summer days, the glazed sliding walls can be opened completely, allowing the interior and exterior to flow effortlessly into one another. In spring and autumn, the closed glass walls provide shelter from the wind while allowing plenty of sunlight to enter. Even in winter, this is a wonderfully atmospheric space, with the warmth and ambience of the wood-burning stove adding to its appeal.
UTILITY ROOM AND STORAGE
Behind the kitchen is the spacious utility room, finished to the same high standard with a concrete floor and extensive bespoke cabinetry. The beautifully integrated cupboards provide generous practical storage, while the room also features an additional fridge-freezer combination and a second toilet.
Adjacent is a separate storage room, likewise fitted with ample bespoke cabinetry. It provides space for bicycles and other practical amenities, including the air-to-water heat pump installation.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor is reached via the black, enclosed staircase in the entrance hall. This level comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a practical laundry room with a fitted wall of cabinetry.
All three bedrooms feature beautifully integrated bespoke fitted wardrobes. One bedroom is situated at the front of the villa, while two are positioned at the rear.
The entire floor is finished with light oak flooring. Dark shutters and black doors form a refined continuation of the villa’s distinctive architectural language and material palette.
The generous bedrooms offer ample space and can be arranged to suit individual needs.
The bathroom is finished with natural-toned microcement. Wooden vanity units with black basins and black sanitaryware create a sophisticated contrast. A freestanding bathtub beneath the window and a generous walk-in shower complete this elegant space.
SECOND FLOOR - MASTER SUITE
The top floor is, both literally and figuratively, one of the highlights of the villa. It features a generous master suite where architecture and interior design come together in a truly distinctive way. The exposed oak beams, the characteristic lines of the roof structure, the steel internal door (2025), and the combination of concrete, wood and dark accents give the space a distinctive yet understated character.
The generous walk-in shower forms an integral part of the suite. Two shower fittings each have their own thermostat, allowing the water temperature to be adjusted individually. The shower is finished in refined microcement, complementing the robust materialisation of the floor.
The freestanding black bathtub is fully integrated into the sleeping area, creating a striking contrast with the warm oak beams. The concrete floor features both heating and cooling, adding to the comfort of this exceptional private suite.
GARDEN ADN OUTDOOR LIVING
Outside, the same attention to architecture, quality and comfort is equally evident. The professionally landscaped garden, designed with architectural vision and fully adapted to family life in 2024, offers a beautiful combination of greenery, privacy and relaxation.
The garden connects seamlessly with the villa’s living spaces through the kitchen, fully glazed garden/dining room and utility room. Mature planting, multiple terraces and a generous lawn of high-quality artificial grass create an inviting outdoor setting with ample space for the whole family. Children can enjoy a trampoline and play structure, while the generous swimming pool with solar deck features elegant safety fencing and an outdoor shower.
The spacious covered terrace is enclosed on all sides with glass walls (2025), allowing this exceptional outdoor space to be enjoyed comfortably throughout the year, regardless of the season.
At the rear, the garden borders a green ecological zone, offering uninterrupted views across the greenery towards the Eindhoven Canal. The combination of space, privacy, water and greenery makes this garden a particularly beautiful extension of the villa, where indoor and outdoor living come together naturally.
Detached outbuilding / Pool house
This fully insulated detached outbuilding was designed in the same architectural style as the villa and forms an elegant pool house alongside the swimming pool.
Originally used as a practice space, the building is currently arranged as a high-quality private gym. Its generous proportions and versatile layout also make it suitable for a variety of alternative uses. It features a welcoming entrance lobby, floor-to-ceiling windows and generous sliding glass doors, creating a strong connection with the garden and swimming pool. The pool’s technical installation is also housed within the building.
