Nestled in the picturesque bocage landscape of the Achterhoek, this breathtaking and secluded estate spans nearly 30 hectares. Located just minutes from Lochem, it was established under the Dutch Natural Beauty Act (NSW) around 15 years ago—a true haven where nature, luxury, and functionality meet.
A Grand Entrance
Crossing a stone bridge and a remotely operated gate, a beautifully lit driveway winds through an English landscape garden, leading to the imposing main residence or, via a side path, to the office/garden building with parking.

The grand entrance is flanked by columns and opens to a reception hall with sandstone fireplace, staircase, lift, cloakroom, and guest toilet. The ground floor includes a sitting room with fireplace, a library for 20 guests, a dining room with sliding doors, a custom Italian kitchen (Arclinea, with Gaggenau appliances and domotics), and a conservatory. Floors are honed Crema Marfil marble or Wengé herringbone, finished with tall panel doors and elegant cornices.
