Premier Houseboats are pleased to present Mooi Maisga, a charming 1898 Skutsje Tjalk offering traditional character, surprisingly generous accommodation and the added benefit of a secure residential mooring.
At 62ft long, Mooi Maisga combines the appeal of a historic Dutch vessel with the practicality of a comfortable floating home. She also retains the ability to cruise, powered by an 85hp DAF 475 diesel engine.
The main living area has a wonderfully traditional feel, with built-in seating, a dining area and fitted kitchen, all in keeping with the character of the vessel.
The kitchen provides plenty of worktop and storage space and includes a Zanussi washing machine, built-in fridge and two-ring hob with oven and grill.
A corridor leads to a double cabin and traditionally styled bathroom with bath and shower attachment, WC and hand basin.
The main cabin provides a further generous sleeping/living area with plenty of storage. Headroom is restricted in this area, but it remains a comfortable and characterful space.
Heating is provided by a solid-fuel stove and gas warm-air heater, with a separate gas water heater providing hot water.
Mooi Maisga is powered by an 85hp DAF 475 diesel engine, providing the ability to explore the UK waterways.
Originally built as a sailing barge, there is also potential, with the appropriate work, to return her to sailing configuration.
Outside, there is useful deck space from which to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
She was last dry docked in 2021, and a survey is available for prospective purchasers if required.
Mooi Maisga is offered on a secure residential mooring, providing the opportunity to enjoy her as a full-time home while retaining the character and cruising capability of a traditional Dutch vessel.
With manageable ongoing costs, flexible accommodation and plenty of original charm, she offers an attractive alternative to a conventional property.
Mooi Maisga is a wonderfully characterful floating home combining the heritage of a traditional Dutch Skutsje Tjalk with a secure residential mooring and cruising capability.
With two cabins, comfortable living accommodation, traditional fittings, useful outside space and an 85hp diesel engine, she offers plenty of versatility for someone looking for something genuinely different.
For a buyer wanting an affordable home on the water with history, character and the freedom to cruise, Mooi Maisga is well worth viewing.
Early viewing is recommended.
