Dream place to come home to - Beautifully renovated farmhouse in a green paradise.
A dream home in a dream location! This beautifully renovated farmhouse is located at the edge of the Gorsselse Heide, on the unpaved Elzerdijk 5, to be precise. For - in the middle of the Joppese woods beauty - stands this beautiful ensemble; a modern-countryside reinterpretation of the early twentieth-century farmhouses, as they regularly occur here in the neighborhood. Space, quality and beauty are the main distinguishing features: on this beautiful road stands the lovely house, which is surrounded by a picture-perfect garden of size (the total plot measures 8,620 m2). This garden was revitalized in 2020/2021 with new borders, new terrace, canopy and lawn.
Maintained to perfection
The mansion dates from 1910, but she is, despite her age, a contemporary beauty. In recent years, the house underwent a thorough renovation, during which - with great attention to detail and original style elements - they proceeded. The house was given two faces: at the front a façade with cute red brick built in Dutch (cross) bond and with cut joints, at the back the idyllic image of a whitewashed farmhouse in a sea of green.
No expense was spared on the inside either. The house - which can be lived in on the ground floor - has five wonderful bedrooms and three bathrooms. A major effort was also made in the area of sustainability: the roof/wall and floors were insulated, the entire house was fitted with insulating glazing, floor heating was installed over the entire first floor and 15 solar panels were installed on the roof of the barn, giving it an energy label A. This fine house, which with 172 m2 has a generous living area, is therefore in top condition.
Joppe and Gorssel
The dirt roads wind through the forest, and here and there is a house. A little further on is De Zessprong, which also gives its name to the cozy restaurant and charming vineyard de Zessprong. Joppe is a small village adjacent to Gorssel. The Joppe church and the Joppe school are two true icons of the area, typified by its green character and beautiful houses, one of which is estate Huis 't Joppe.
The cozy center of Gorssel is a ten-minute bike ride away. Here you will find the local supermarket, several boutiques, specialty stores such as the butcher, the wine shop with excellent cheese department, the greengrocer and the baker, as well as cozy restaurants with terraces and the beautiful Museum MORE.
Nature is always nearby in the form of the beautiful forests in the outskirts around Gorssel. A little further away is the Natura 2000 area De Ravenswaarden, the floodplains along the IJssel. But the magnificent Gorsselse heathland, which offers a different view season after season and where you can get a breath of fresh air on horseback, on foot or by bike, is the highlight: you live right next to it.
Highways are a 10-minute drive away and if you miss the bustling city, then both Deventer and Zutphen - two beautiful, historic Hanseatic cities - are nearby (and we mean really nearby, because you are there in ten minutes by car).
First floor
The house is divided into a main house on the right and a guest area (or just “the perfect hang-out with bedrooms for adolescent offspring”) on the left. The entrance is in the middle section, in the central hallway. On the floor is a robust and tasteful, anthracite-gray ceramic tile, which works well with the underfloor heating. The walls are plastered smooth and the color palette is in warm gray tones with fresh white woodwork - the perfect combination with the contemporary interior.
In the hall immediately to the left is the cupboard with the boiler. Furthermore, a WC with hand basin and a meter cupboard.
To the left is the guest house with a spacious living room and two bedrooms with a beautiful bathroom with walk-in shower, WC and two sinks, accessible from both rooms.
To the right is the entrance to the main house. Right into the beautiful kitchen with a cozy cooking island with bar. The custom-made, handleless kitchen has high-gloss white fronts, soft close drawers and is of course equipped with all desirable built-in appliances such as dishwasher, 3-in-1 boiling water faucet (Quooker), hot air oven, combination microwave and fridge-freezer. The kitchen island features a six-burner gas stove.
The living room and kitchen are incorporated into the same space, making the most of the generous floor space - without losing the connection between cooking and living. The space features a sophisticated lighting plan and the oak trusses are beautifully kept in view. Glazed French doors open onto the terrace and garden: what a view! When the evenings get chilly, it's great to sit inside by the wood-burning stove.
The bedroom on the first floor is designed as a romantic suite with a generous bathroom, with a walk-in shower, semi-detached bathtub, double sink and a hanging closet.
In the utility room we find a charming pantry with a sink and plenty of storage space, and the connections for the washer and dryer. Also here is the door to the garden.
Upper floor
The landing is adjacent to two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom with shower stall, hanging closet and sink. From the front bedroom there is access through a lock to the large storage attic.
Outdoor space
The garden is beautifully designed and landscaped, surrounded by ancient nature and therefore no overlooking of neighbors. House and garden form a whole with each other. From the terrace, the garden is experienced as a sea of green and here you overlook the forest edge. The garden is a favorite haunt of forest animals, as the kidney-shaped pond is a quiet drinking spot. The borders are colorful and beautifully filled in, and the lawn is so large that there is ample room to play soccer there.
This property offers a rare combination of silence, nature and comfort. At night it is truly dark: no traffic noise or light pollution, only the call of an owl or the soft croaking of frogs. Deer come to drink from the pond, and all around you can only hear nature.
Yet the house is very centrally located, close to the A1 and ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, but also want modern and accessible living.
There is also a beautiful barn with saddle roof, two garage doors and durable Douglas cladding. Here you can easily park two cars and there is still enough space for bicycles, motorcycles and your workbench. The hobby/work area is equipped with a sink.
On the left side of the garden a canopy (2021) with a lounge area and - at the rear - a carport.
