Living in a piece of history Before you even reach the driveway, you sense it immediately: this is no ordinary place. Hidden among old trees and open meadows lies the historic Groot Hoenlo estate – a unique setting where nature, tranquillity and character come together. Living here means becoming part of a story that has evolved over centuries. The approach alone is impressive. A tree-lined driveway leads across the bridge and moat to the central courtyard with its elegant paving. The castle’s stately appearance and the silence of the surroundings create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and serene. The surrounding English landscape garden, designed by renowned landscape architect L.A. Springer, can best be described as a living painting. Open lawns, winding paths, small bridges, an orchard and a kitchen garden form a harmonious whole. The estate is largely private and accessible only to residents, offering a rare level of peace, space and privacy. The apartment comes with two private parking spaces, as well as additional parking for guests. The apartment itself is located on the top floor of the castle. This elevated position provides a strong sense of privacy and freedom: no upstairs neighbours, abundant natural light and ever-changing views over the estate. Historic details reflect the building’s past, while the interior has been carefully updated with comfort and style in mind. The living room is spacious and inviting, centred around a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and character. A place to unwind, read or entertain. The kitchen-diner is perfect for long evenings at the table. The apartment offers three bedrooms, including a generous master bedroom at the rear with beautiful views over the gardens. Residents can also enjoy the shared outdoor areas, including a garden with a covered seating area and outdoor kitchen – ideal for summer evenings or a quiet morning coffee. Despite its secluded setting, the estate is conveniently located. The village centre of Olst, with shops, restaurants and a train station offering direct connections to Deventer and Zwolle, is just a short bike ride away. Deventer can be reached by car in approximately twenty minutes. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for walking and cycling through the Salland countryside and along the river IJssel. This apartment is ideally suited to those who consciously choose peace, privacy and character. It appeals to buyers who value quality of living over everyday convenience, and who are drawn to unique places with a distinct identity. Layout The entrance opens directly into the atmospheric living room with wood-burning stove, offering space for both seating and dining areas and featuring several built-in storage cupboards. Two bedrooms are accessible from the living room, both with additional storage. A staircase leads to the attic storage space. From the hallway you reach the toilet, kitchen and third bedroom. The kitchen is classically styled and equipped with a large freestanding cooker and space for a dining table. The bathroom features a double washbasin and shower. The rear bedroom is spacious, fitted with a wall of built-in wardrobes and enjoys views over the estate’s gardens.
