Where once a dilapidated farmhouse stood, this elegant country estate arose in 1984. It is embraced by farmland, meadows, a dike and the protected Natura 2000 area Gelderse Poort. A true rural retreat in the heart of the Liemers, yet remarkably central. Within minutes you can be in Duiven or Zevenaar, both offering direct access to the A12 motorway and a train station. This estate was designed for living in freedom, surrounded by nature yet well connected. A welcoming family home Forty years ago the current owners bought this brand-new property, looking for space for themselves and for keeping animals. “This house simply fit us,” they say. It soon became a warm family home, a welcoming place where their three children grew up. “So many celebrations have taken place here. There was space for everything. We had ponies. The boys even had their own motocross track…” Quality and comfort The house radiates harmony, tranquillity and homeliness, and has been meticulously maintained. Over the years it has been extended twice. A detached pool house with guest accommodation was added, as well as a pony stable, storage barn and a garage with double carport. Each outbuilding echoes the same rustic style as the main house. The completely redesigned garden completes this enchanting whole, created with the dedication and craftsmanship of architects, builders, interior designers and landscapers. All exterior woodwork was professionally painted in May 2025. THE RESIDENCE Ground floor Behind the solid recessed front door is a bright entrance hall with modern cloakroom and meter cupboard (with three-phase power). The massive oak parquet flooring flows into the adjoining living room and office.
