Alder & Ash Ruurlo, Gelderland

Property Description

Formerly a farmhouse, this exquisitely renovated home in the Achterhoek provides the perfect escape for couples. It's delightfully peaceful, surrounded by meadows, pastures and forests for as far as the eye can see. Here, you're an eight-minute drive from the town of Zelhem and forty minutes from the city of Arnheim.

Tucked away behind lush hedgerows, pruned to perfection, this home charms from the outset with its rustic red-brick facade. The interior is modern and beautifully equipped for relaxation. Arched windows usher in heaps of natural light, and we love the open-plan living space, with its array of magazines and board games, plush sofas and a sleek kitchen, where a majestic marble island exudes elegance.

After a restful slumber, step outside onto the furnished patio and enjoy an alfresco breakfast in the crisp countryside air before a day of adventure. Spend days hiking or cycling through the Achterhoek's beautiful scenery, visiting majestic castles and quaint villages, before returning to this sumptuous pad to unwind in the private sauna.
