Nestled amidst expansive meadows and unspoiled nature, this exceptional country estate welcomes you with a sense of peace, space and exclusivity from the moment you enter the 200-metre-long driveway. A place where living and working blend seamlessly, in a setting that fully utilises the current zoning plan — with additional scope for future development.
Optional full residential use
While the estate currently accommodates mixed residential and commercial use, it is also possible to convert it into a fully private residence. This would require consultation with the owner and the Municipality of Voorst to request an official change of use. This opens the door to an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the estate as a private retreat, in full harmony with the surrounding landscape.
The Farmhouse Residence – Refined rural charm with modern-day comfort
The recently renovated farmhouse beautifully marries authentic architectural features with contemporary comfort and energy efficiency. With top-quality insulation to roof, floors and walls, HR++ glazing in new timber window frames, underfloor heating and a modern electrical system (energy label A), the home offers a high standard of sustainable living.
Its design as a traditional “woonerf” (residential courtyard) ensures a natural flow between indoors and outdoors, enhancing the warm and luxurious atmosphere. The estate sits on a generous plot of 42,934 m² on the edge of Klarenbeek (Municipality of Voorst), conveniently located within easy reach of Apeldoorn, Deventer, Zutphen and Twello.
The current ‘mixed-use’ zoning plan allows for a range of uses, including two home-based businesses (each up to 100 m²), the development of a bed & breakfast, or the construction of a spacious new workshop. The plan also preserves the site’s cultural and landscape values, as well as ensuring adequate infrastructure for parking and water management.
Layout – A bright and spacious home filled with character
A traditional stable-style front door with window gives access to the spacious entrance hall, which includes the 18-group fuse box, fitted under-stair storage, and a stylish cloakroom with toilet. High ceilings throughout the property add to the sense of openness and light.
The kitchen-diner forms the heart of the home, bathed in natural light from windows on three sides. A wood-burning stove, underfloor heating, high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams all contribute to its inviting character. French doors open onto a generous veranda, where a heated swimming pool and hot tub offer complete outdoor enjoyment. There is ample space for a bespoke kitchen with large island, entirely tailored to your wishes.
The living room exudes warmth, featuring whitewashed ceiling beams, polished concrete floors and French doors to the garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The principal bedroom on the ground floor offers a beautiful view of the garden and is connected to an en-suite dressing room and bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin. There is also a separate laundry room.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three spacious bedrooms with roof windows and high vaulted ceilings — ideal for sleeping, working or creative pursuits. One room overlooks the countryside and would suit a second bathroom. A separate toilet with washbasin completes the upper floor.
Outbuildings – Versatile and future-proof
Large outbuilding (28 x 8 m)
Built in cavity wall construction and fully insulated. Currently set up as a luxurious recreational and work space, it includes a professional golf simulator, bar/lounge, office with fibre-optic internet and air conditioning, plus a rear section for storage and packing.
Silo (10 x 8 m)
This impressive space features a ridge height of 6 metres and an entrance clearance of 2.5 metres. Equipped with an 83-amp power cabinet and 3-phase connections, it is well suited for artisanal production, a creative studio or large-scale storage.
Camper pitches (8 units)
All equipped with electricity, drainage and Wi-Fi — ideal for guests, clients or as a boutique extension to a hospitality concept.
Nature, privacy and long-term vision
The estate offers complete privacy, a thoughtful spatial layout and natural integration into the landscape. In spring 2025, some 8,600 trees and shrubs will be planted, including hazel, cherry, birch, alder, oak, weeping willow, lime and heritage fruit trees. Together with a pond, alder hedge and coppice woodland, this will create a biodiverse and climate-resilient environment for future generations.
A rare opportunity in a truly unique setting
Whether you're seeking a place where living, working and unwinding come together in balance, or dreaming of a private country residence with soul and space — De Heerlijkheid Estate offers both, provided the use is adjusted accordingly. The combination of location, comfort, flexibility and long-term potential makes this a rare and valuable investment.
