At the edge of the protected nature reserve 'De Gelderse Poort', on an elevated and sheltered location overlooking the confluence of the Rhine and the Waal, lies this impressive former estate manager’s residence. A characterful villa, rich in detail, lovingly restored and equipped with all modern comforts, surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and set within a fully enclosed plot.
A home for those seeking peace, privacy, space and comfort – and who appreciate the rare combination of history and contemporary luxury.
The villa spans four floors, offering a wealth of possibilities for living and working. The main living level sits at dike height and features a refined living space where atmosphere, comfort and panoramic views converge. Adjacent to the entrance hall is a generous study with a character fireplace and views over the rivers. The living room, dining area and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, connected by an elegant see-through fireplace. French doors open onto a spacious balcony, offering uninterrupted views over the water and surrounding countryside – a truly captivating panorama that never ceases to inspire.
One of the home’s highlights is the conservatory on the first floor: fully restored and offering breathtaking views of the passing river traffic, the expansive landscape, and the setting sun. This space is ideal as a lounge, library or tranquil retreat, perfectly complemented by the adjoining intimate roof terrace. The first floor also features three comfortable bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious bathroom with bath, shower, twin basins and a toilet. The second floor accommodates a charming fourth bedroom with its own shower and washbasin, plus additional storage space suitable for a home office or playroom. All rooms are beautifully finished and offer views of the exceptional surroundings.
At garden level is a self-contained office or guest accommodation, equally suitable for live-in care or a short-stay let. This area includes a private entrance, reception room, hallway, WC, three rooms, a large kitchen and a private terrace within the secluded garden. Ideal for home-based professionals, multi-generational living, or premium short-stay rental such as luxury Airbnb.
Throughout the years, the villa has been modernised with great care and attention to detail, all while retaining its original character. The façades have been re-rendered, and historical elements such as decorative ceilings, solid panelled doors, staircase handrails, interior shutters and window sills have been sympathetically restored. New timber window frames with insulating glass have been combined with stained glass set in double glazing. Even the original Lips safe in the hall has been preserved.
In 2020, the entire roof was replaced and fitted with modern insulation. Gutters and rainwater systems were also renewed. The kitchen was custom-designed using premium materials and features an integrated induction hob with extractor, Quooker tap, steam and combi ovens, vacuum drawer, dishwasher, large fridge and separate freezer. The granite worktop, high-gloss taupe cabinetry and dark wood accents create a timeless, elegant look. The property is heated by two modern boilers, with individual temperature control in each room – adjustable remotely. In 2021, 20 solar panels were installed, significantly improving the energy efficiency. For added comfort, motorised Roman blinds were connected to the smart home system. The villa is also equipped with fibre-optic internet, a high-capacity three-phase power connection (3 x 40A), and an EV charging point.
The grounds are fully enclosed with an electrically operated entrance gate. There are three parking spaces in front of the gate, and four more within the secure area. Next to the villa is a large detached stone-built garage, divided into a garage, workshop and storage, finished with traditional cladding and atmospheric lighting.
The garden was redesigned in 2022 as an extension of the living space – offering tranquillity, relaxation and a welcoming atmosphere. Features include decorative paving, manicured lawns, an automatic irrigation system fed by a private well, a robotic lawnmower, and multiple terraces for low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment. Hedges of privet, laurel and beech frame the property with natural elegance, while strategic openings offer views of the surrounding polder landscape. Stepping stones lead across the lawn to a half-round log cabin. The wrought-iron pergola and spacious veranda – with timber beamed ceiling and prepared for a jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen – elevate outdoor living to a new level. The main terrace, directly connected to the veranda, comfortably accommodates a large dining table. Mature olive trees in Corten steel planters add a Mediterranean touch. A second garden zone on the side of the plot includes its own terrace, lawn and a majestic weeping willow.
Access to the charming front garden is available via the parking area or directly from the dike, where a staircase with landings leads to the original front door, adorned with wrought-iron railings and flanked by inviting benches – a nod to the property’s elegant past.
This exceptional villa is located on the Rijndijk in Millingen aan de Rijn, just 15 km from Nijmegen and conveniently positioned for access to Beek, Kranenburg and Kleve. Millingen itself offers excellent amenities including two supermarkets, a large primary school, sports facilities, cafés and boutique shops. The wider area is part of the Gelderse Poort nature reserve, known for its riverbanks, cycling routes, foot ferries and long-distance walking paths such as the Pieterpad. Popular destinations like Bisonbaai, De Bijland recreational lake, and the renowned tea garden in the Millingerwaard are all within cycling distance. Three ferry crossings connect the banks of the Rhine and Waal, including a car ferry between Doornenburg and Pannerden – making this a region rich in nature, history and recreational charm.
If you are looking for an exclusive, character-filled residence that offers space, serenity and multifunctional potential, we warmly invite you to view this unique villa on the Rijndijk in Millingen aan de Rijn.
