A house in the woods, to suit your taste - Undisturbed enjoyment in the woods of Ruurlo
Ruurlo has a lot going for it, but the woods are the basis of its attraction; vast and varied, with kilometres of paths to cycle or walk, to enjoy the Achterhoek. And there, among the trees and the deer, hedgehogs, hares, pheasants and other forest game, stands this nice ensemble; a residential farmhouse (242 m²) with barn, single-roofed haystack, stables and over 12,000 m² of private land.
Do you understand the art of seeing the potential of something? We see a warm home, a place to unwind. To write that book, to refuel from busy weeks, to explore the neighbourhood on horseback (or MTB). Where you can build a woodpile and wine cellar, create your dream kitchen and enjoy life to the full - preferably together with friends and family.
Do you have a rich imagination and a pair of handy hands? Then this might be the house for you.
Up the paths, down the lanes and roll up your sleeves
It is a dream spot, so idyllically located. If you can dream big, you can achieve something amazing here. In the 1980s, the farmhouse was renovated and extended. In recent years, occupancy has not been constant, which means that although the house is in reasonable condition, it needs some work in terms of modernisation.
Ruurlo
For your amenities, you are close to Ruurlo, where you can find all the shops you need - from the artisanal hot bakery and butcher, to clothing boutiques and the neighbourhood supermarket. There are several sports clubs and a swimming pool.
The former Ruurlo Castle is home to Museum More, with an impressive art collection. Do you like to travel by train? That's perfectly possible, as Ruurlo has its own railway station which makes accessibility even better.
In addition, the bustling Hanseatic city of Zutphen is a 20-minute drive away. Places like Lochem, Vorden, Groenlo, Doetinchem and Bronkhorst are also nearby and well worth a visit. In short, there is a lot to enjoy in the Achterhoek!
