Twente country living with a touch of elegance, where you instantly feel at home

The Main House: Where Character Meets Comfort
A carefully designed renovation (2000)
The current owners were immediately captivated in 1999 by the tree-lined drive and the traditional charm behind the sturdy, automated Bankirai gate. What followed was a complete architectural renovation with meticulous attention to detail. Roof, floor, and wall insulation were added, installations were modernized, and the entire garden was redesigned, including an irrigation system. Most windows are high-quality UPVC with double glazing and tilt-and-turn functionality, complemented by internal window grilles. The outbuildings were also extensively renovated in 1999 and again in 2017.

Ground Floor: Spacious and Inviting
Step inside via the rear entrance into a welcoming hallway with cloakroom, leading to a country-style kitchen with solid oak cabinetry, black hardware, and a wide induction hob beneath a traditional mantle. A nearby utility room adds extra prep space and features a professional-grade combi steam oven. The adjacent dining room opens onto a generous terrace and expansive lawn through classic French doors. An arched doorway connects the dining area to a large living room, complete with a stone fireplace and gas fire. At the back of the house, a light-filled conservatory with exposed beam ceiling and industrial-style walls offers a cozy spot to enjoy the surrounding greenery year-round. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating and is finished with lightly tumbled Roman-pattern marble tiles, perfectly complementing the home’s rustic charm. You’ll also find a guest toilet, a spacious laundry room, and an open hardwood staircase to the upper floor.

Upstairs: Peace, Privacy, and Potential
The first floor features three beautifully styled bedrooms, each with panelled doors and tongue-and-groove ceilings. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and French oak flooring. The luxurious bathroom, with underfloor heating, embraces a countryside aesthetic and features a whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, twin basins on an oak vanity, and elegant marble accents. The fully finished attic offers ample space for creating two additional rooms. A fixed staircase can be added with ease.

Outbuildings: Practical, Flexible, and Refined
Office, guesthouse, or creative retreat
Directly across from the main house is the renovated office building (2017). This generous space, complete with underfloor heating, plastered walls, exposed beams, and a glass façade set in the old stable door, is ideal for work or hospitality. A modern high-gloss green kitchen and upscale restroom make it a self-sufficient guesthouse or workspace. Upstairs, a large multi-purpose loft with recessed lighting offers even more options—think guest suite, art studio, practice, or boutique B&B.

Impressive Veranda with Outdoor Kitchen
To the garden side of the office, you’ll find a stunning 12 x 5 meter veranda built from authentic oak beams. A cozy fireplace with gas fire, outdoor kitchen with semi-professional BBQ, mechanical extraction, and terrace heater make this the ultimate setting for long summer evenings with family and friends.

Private Wellness Retreat
For true relaxation, the estate includes a private wellness area with underfloor heating, a combination sauna (Finnish and infrared), separate shower and changing room, and a lounge space. The area is equipped with its own fuse box, central heating system, and adjustable ventilation.

Equestrian Paradise
Horse lovers will be thrilled with the setup. The brick stable includes three spacious stalls, a tack room, and storage space. Additional features include double oak sheds, a tiled-roof carport, a second double carport (partly used as a dog run), and a fully lit riding arena. Three paddocks are equipped with Bankirai fencing, drainage, automatic waterers, and electric fencing. A wide track and rear access ensure easy entry with large equipment.

Additional outdoor features include:

• Automated irrigation system powered by a groundwater pump
• Manure storage facility
• Extra utility shed behind the arena
• Power and water connections in all outbuildings

Secure, Low-Maintenance Living
Accessed via a remote-controlled gate on the Oldenkotsedijk, the property is equipped with an alarm system and surveillance cameras. High-quality, low-maintenance materials have been used throughout, including UPVC window frames, oak cladding, Bankirai gates, copper gutters, and stainless steel downspouts.

The Surroundings: Nature at Your Doorstep
Just under two kilometers from the center of Haaksbergen, this estate is ideally located near schools, childcare facilities, and shops. Within moments, you can walk or cycle into the protected Haaksbergerveen nature reserve (part of Natura 2000), follow the Buurserbeek to the historic Oostendorper watermill, or explore the nearby Lankheet estate—a paradise for walkers, riders, and nature lovers alike.

A truly exceptional property for those seeking a luxurious country lifestyle with space, character, and countless possibilities.
