Motor barge 16.50 – Atmospheric and ready-to-move-in floating houseboat with plenty of living space, central heating, and double glazing!
Are you looking for a characterful houseboat with the charm of the past and the comfort of today? Then this beautiful Dutch motor barge from 1898 is definitely worth a visit.
Originally built as a cargo ship for transporting grain, this vessel has been converted over the years into a comfortable and atmospheric floating houseboat. On board, you will immediately experience the warm ambiance, spacious living areas, and the large amount of natural light.
Thanks to the many large windows, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the water and very pleasant light throughout the ship. The spacious salon feels open and homely and, together with the modern kitchen, forms the heart of the ship. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances and offers plenty of space to cook and live comfortably on board.
With a standing height of approximately 1.85 to 1.90 meters, the ship offers a surprisingly spacious feeling. Combined with good insulation, double-glazed windows, and the Kabola central heating system, the ship is excellently suited for permanent residence or long stays.
The spacious owner's cabin has plenty of storage space and a washbasin. In addition, there are two toilets on board, and even a washing machine is present, making the comfort on board comparable to that of a home on land.
Not only as a houseboat, but also as a sailing vessel, this motor barge has a lot to offer. Thanks to its low air draft and shallow draft, it has a particularly large sailing area. Extensive trips through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Germany are therefore among the possibilities.
The reliable DAF diesel engine combined with the available bow thruster ensures excellent sailing characteristics and easy maneuvering, even for the solo skipper.
In November 2023, the underwater ship was professionally treated at the yard. A hull thickness report was also prepared at that time.
