Beautifully situated building plot of 6,029 m² for the construction of a spacious country house, with the unique potential for subdivision into two dwellings. The plot offers a remarkable sense of freedom, with woodland to the rear ensuring additional privacy. Part of the land borders directly on the banks of the Eefsche Beek, with a green strip and the Twente Canal beyond, overlooking the impressive Eefde lock.
The plot forms part of the former estate and manor, De Boedelhof, of which only the nationally listed hunting lodge remains. In 2009 the estate was divided into five parcels; this is the last undeveloped plot, making it a rare opportunity to create your dream villa entirely to your own design.
The designated building area measures approximately 28 metres in width by 24 metres in depth and may be built on in its entirety, with no restriction on the cubic volume. Outside this area, a further 75 m² of outbuildings is permitted, along with up to 100 m² for a home office or workspace. Maximum building heights are set at 2.5 storeys, with a ridge height of 8.5 metres and an eaves height of 6.5 metres.
There is no obligation to build within a fixed timeframe, and you are completely free to select your own architect and contractor.
Under current municipal planning regulations, the plot may also be eligible for subdivision into two self-contained dwellings, subject to conditions. These dwellings must be designed as one principal building, each with its own facilities. Requirements include suitable architectural style, such as white plasterwork and dark roof tiles in keeping with the design guidelines, sufficient on-site parking, and integration within the surrounding landscape. As such, the plot is equally appealing to private buyers as it is to developers seeking to meet local housing demand.
It is important to note that subdivision is not permitted if it would result in multiple detached houses or semi-detached buildings of secondary architectural quality.
Eefde, part of the municipality of Lochem, is a charming village situated between Gorssel and Zutphen, characterised by stately manor houses and traditional farmsteads. The village itself offers a range of amenities including shops, primary schools, childcare facilities, GPs and a dental practice. Secondary schools, sports clubs and the Gorsselse Heide nature reserve are all within easy cycling distance. The historic Hanseatic towns of Zutphen (also within cycling distance) and Deventer provide a wide choice of shopping, dining and cultural experiences.
