Villa Jacoba – Valkenburg aan de Geul Kloosterweg 4 Valkenburg, Limburg 6301WK Países Bajos

We are delighted to present Villa Jacoba, a unique national monument offering all conceivable modern living comforts, fully renovated and sustainably upgraded in recent years. Both the main residence and the detached guesthouse/caretaker’s cottage are in excellent condition.

This monumental villa, with a volume of approximately 1,900 m³, showcases Gothic architectural artistry. Constructed entirely from marlstone in 1825 by the Maastricht banking family Tielens, it is nestled within a beautifully landscaped park-like garden. From the basement to the tower, this unique property offers 458 m² of usable space, providing complete privacy while being just a short walk from the vibrant center of Valkenburg and the train station (with a 10-minute journey to central Maastricht).

Architectural Highlights

The high arched doors and windows are characteristic of the Gothic style. The soft yellow hue of the marlstone imparts a majestic appearance, emblematic of Valkenburg. Upon entering through the gate, you are embraced by the serene garden spanning 2,930 m².

The grand entrance with a sweeping staircase exudes elegance. The reception hall, featuring a natural stone floor and a fireplace with an ornate mantel, sets a tone of opulence. This space doubles as a secondary living room, ideal for welcoming guests or enjoying the impressive ambiance.
