This nature house is very unique because you imagine yourself in an old sheep pen! It is a detached vacation house for up to five people, centrally located on Texel, in one of the most beautiful places on the island. The nature house, smoke-free, is located in the middle of the countryside along the Waalenburgerdijkje, over two kilometers east of the seaside resort of De Koog, near dunes, forest and beach. The house is simple, cozy and comfortably furnished and equipped with central heating (natural gas) and a modern kitchen. All around there is an unobstructed view over a vast, typical Texel landscape. From the cozy, spacious living room there is a beautiful view to the south and west over vast sheep pastures and one can enjoy beautiful, ever-changing cloudscapes. Your four-legged friend is welcome, but in consultation with the sheep. There is also no WIFI available in the nature house. To get to this nature house by car you may drive (very carefully!) over the bicycle path to the entrance gate, to park there.

In front of the south facade of the nature house is a wide terrace. The house is further directly surrounded by over 1,000 m2 of grassland/playgrass bordered on one side by a farm ditch with a grove behind it. On the other sides, genuine Texel "tuunwoaltjes" provide separation from the adjacent meadows, where usually sheep (and in spring many lambs) graze. Tuunwoaltjes or garden walls are grass-covered earthen walls (constructed mainly of turf). These are the original parcel boundaries in the sheep country on the old part of Texel. The nature house is only accessible via a beautiful bicycle path that runs along the Waalenburgerdijkje. This inner dike, a 14th century sea wall with a very winding course, is partially wooded and is owned by Staatsbosbeheer. Some bicycle routes run along the Waalenburgerdijk. The village of De Koog (stores, restaurants) is only two kilometers away, the beach three kilometers. Pine forests and well-known bird-rich nature reserves such as the dune area of De Muy and the Polder Waalenburg are also nearby.
