Boerderij met zomerhuis en monumentale oprijlaan, gebouwd halverwege de 19e eeuw. Beeldbepalend gebouw met een kleine veenweide, het zgn. Weitjespark. Het voormalige veeteeltbedrijf werd in de jaren tachtig van de twintigste eeuw een paar keer gemoderniseerd en gerestaureerd. Met behoud van zijn historisch karakter.

Het complex laat zien hoe de Rijksstraatweg - vroeger de Duivendrechtse Laan - eruit zag met zijn lint van ca. 30 boerderijen. Het toegangshek had de lokale benaming 'poort!
