Bantam, Nature estate in Hilversum, Netherlands.
The Bantam estate extends across 28 hectares of land, featuring winding streams, nature islands, and several forest ranger houses within its boundaries.
In 1878, Maurits Jacob van Lennep and Caroline van Loon commissioned the construction of a mansion that remained standing until its demolition in 1978.
The estate contains straight avenues of beech and oak trees, designed by landscape architect Zocher, reflecting traditional Dutch garden planning methods.
Located along the Franse Kampweg provincial road near a Shell station, Bantam estate offers public access to its network of roads and pathways.
On the highest hill of the estate once stood a Turkish tent that provided views of the Zuiderzee, later replaced by a water reservoir with an iron windmill.
