Van de Sande Bakhuyzen was a son of the painter Hendrik van de Sande Bakhuyzen and his wife Sophie Wilhelmina Kiehl (1804–1881). Like his sister Gerardina (1826–1895), who later became a still life painter, he received his first painting lessons from his father. After school he studied at the Hague Academy of Art . He also studied in 1866 - together with his friend Philip Sadée - for six months in Düsseldorf , at that time the center of the Düsseldorf School of Painting . Then he settled in his hometown. With the painting De Vijver in het Haagse bos (The pond in the Hague Bush) he won the great royal medal at an exhibition in Amsterdam in 1871 . He regularly moved to the country for a few months with Jan Weissenbruch and Willem Roelofs to study nature. From 1875 he spent the summer months in the Drenthe province, which is characterized by heathland ( Gieten , Eext , Borger , Drouwen , Rolde , Zweeloo , Aalden, Wezup, Hooghalen , from 1896 Exloo ), often together with his sister Gerardina. He viewed this region as a kind of open-air museum and the artists and historians as its conservators .

In 1898 he married Susanna Charlotta Alessa Sadée (1835–1903) in The Hague. Van de Sande Bakhuyzen was a member of various artist associations, including Arti et Amicitiae and Pulchri Studio .
