Ever dreamed of living in a unique location full of character and history, where the only sounds are the calls of meadow birds and the local barn owl?

This exceptional farmhouse property, situated in the serene countryside of Eibergen, offers just that. On a parcel of over 1.1 hectares, you’ll find an old (municipally) listed “Scholten” farmstead with outbuildings, known as ‘De Scholte.’ This historic site, once an important center in the eastern Netherlands, offers endless possibilities and sweeping views!

Location
The farmhouse complex ‘De Scholte’ is located in the scenic countryside of Eibergen, in the hamlet of Hupsel. This rural area, characteristic of the Achterhoek region, is marked by vast meadows, fields, farms and forests. Eibergen itself is a charming town with various amenities such as primary and secondary schools, restaurants, shops and sports facilities. Groenlo, known for its rich history and fortifications, is a short bike ride away, offering additional services and recreational options. The N18 provides quick access to cities like Doetinchem and Enschede, as well as the A1 and A12 motorways.

History
The history of this location dates back to 1188, making it older than Amsterdam itself. The farm ‘De Scholte’ once played a crucial role in the region, with De Scholte (farm manager) serving as the overseer of the local marke, a community of landowners. De Scholte held considerable influence and was also a large landowner with more rights than other members of the marke. This heritage, with its rich history, makes this property a unique opportunity.

The Farmhouse
Built around 1860, the farmhouse consists of a main house with one side containing a “deel” (attached barn) for storage and stabling, and the other side used for livestock stabling. With a total indoor usable area of over 800 m², this property, after some renovation and modernization, offers tremendous potential for multi-family living or in-law accommodation, B&B rentals, a home office or practice space, keeping animals as a hobby or other space-intensive hobbies. The municipality of Berkelland actively supports property division and has designated this home for such use. Any remodeling plans will be reviewed with attention to preserving the monumental values of the property.

Layout
On the ground floor you will find an entry hall with stairs, a spacious kitchen with access to the cellar and a magnificent monumetal living room with an original fireplace, unique earthenware floor and high ceilings. There are also three rooms, one currently used as a temporary bathroom and one as an office. Between the two wings of the farmhouse, there is an additional shower, a storage room with washing machine and dryer connections and access to a cozy patio.

The first floor features a large landing with access to four bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a balcony. All bedrooms have built-in closets.

Outbuildings
The property includes a large barn (14.5 x 9 meters), suitable for storage and housing various materials. There is also a covered area measuring approximately 10 x 13 meters.

The Grounds
The house is accessible via a tree-lined driveway with several old, characteristic oak trees and a lawn in front of the house. On the other side a lush country garden has been laid out with a high-stem fruit orchard surrounded by a hawthorn hedge, a “round garden” with fruit trees, rhododendrons, a natural meadow and seating areas in every imaginable spot. Here you can enjoy the garden, nature and the frequent visits of wildlife throughout the grounds.
The entire meadow is bordered by pollard willows. In one corner a small animal forest has been planted with shrubs and trees where animals can rest or take shelter.
