Double farmhouse with exceptional setting, space, privacy and potential

In the wooded hamlet of Barnflair, within the municipality of Westerwolde, this distinctive double farmhouse dating from 1872 is quietly situated along a country lane that transitions into a cycle path. Surrounded by trees, meadows, arable land and nature, and set on a generous plot of 12,320 m², this is a place where serenity, freedom and complete privacy are a daily reality.

The grounds are attractively laid out with garden, orchard and private woodland. Deer, rare birds and other wildlife are frequent visitors rather than exceptions. Notably, the entire plot is designated for residential use, further enhancing the uniqueness of this exceptional property.

Living with character and remarkable versatility

The farmhouse comprises:
*An independent front house with private terrace and shed/stable
*An independent rear house with practice/workspace
*A generous central barn with studio apartment
All residential units enjoy open, green views. This layout makes the property exceptionally suitable for multi-generational living, dual occupancy, assisted living, working from home, a bed  breakfast or a small-scale business.

The total living area amounts to approximately 784 m², with an impressive volume of 3,052 m³. In total, the property offers:
*15 bedrooms
* 3 kitchens
* 3 bathrooms
* 3 toilets
* Various additional rooms and storage areas

The farmhouse is in need of renovation and sustainability upgrades, offering an outstanding opportunity to transform this unique estate entirely to your own vision and contemporary living standards, or to explore redevelopment possibilities.
