About this location

Hello, welcome! If you are looking for peace and quiet and want to enjoy nature, you have come to the right place. My place is located in the middle of the agricultural area of Zuid-Beveland. From here it is a short walk to the 'Veerse Meer' with the Piet-bos. You can go canoeing and swimming there, it is a well-known place for outdoor sports in Zeeland. I live here with my dog, chickens, rooster and a cat. I have been working from home for 20 years for my second-hand bookshop, so you do not have to bring books, although: if you are the writer!
There is plenty to do here in the area and at the same time it is quiet here, in the evening it is dark sometimes there is a beautiful starry sky. In the morning you wake up by the crowing of the rooster!

Perfect for...

Definitely for those seeking peace and quiet, cyclists, hikers and basic campers.

During Corona, my sons and I demolished a shed on the yard, where a cabin on stilts now stands with a magnificent view over the polder. There are 4 rooms, bedroom, shower/toilet room, hallway and a kitchen/living room. The inside is as good as finished, the outside doesn't look good yet, that will come later, first earn some money. Especially for those seeking peace and quiet, nature lovers, writers? In the middle of an agricultural area on a dead end road, I myself sell reading material. Would you like to come and try it out? Bed linen and towels are provided. There is also all sorts of things in the kitchen. Due to limited parking space, I would like to know if you are coming with a car. Use at your own risk.
