The 12-person holiday home ‘Wolfhagen Voorhuus’ is part of an old farmstead located on the unique ‘Landgoed Wolfhagen’ estate. This 5-hectare estate is just outside the picturesque village of Schinnen.
Welcome to the Wolfhagen Estate
The proud owners of Landgoed Wolfhagen are Wim and Netty, who have enjoyed a rural lifestyle in Woerden for 30 years. Back in 2009, they decided to change course and look for something new – they found it at the Wolfhagen farmstead in South Limburg. Over one-and-a-half years, they completely renovated the farmstead and transformed it into a beautiful holiday home. Netty and Wim, along with their two happy little dogs, are also residents of this yard, as is their son with his family. Together with a team of nature-loving volunteers, they have turned a 5-hectare area into a gorgeous ensemble of a botanical meadow, wild flower meadow, fruit orchard, and grass and forest landscape. This versatility led to the area being awarded the venerable status of ‘landgoed’ (estate) in 2011.
Let’s take a look inside
‘Wolfhagen Voorhuus’ is located in the original living quarters of the farmstead. You enter the house according to Limburg custom – through the back door, located in the courtyard. Once inside, you will notice that Netty and Wim not only have a love for nature, but also for antiques and collectibles. The living room is tastefully decorated, and the wood-burning stove is the centrepiece of the sitting area. The living room also leads onto the large kitchen with lavender-blue kitchen cabinets made by Netty and Wim’s son. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 5-ring gas hob, large oven, microwave, fridge with freezer, and dishwasher. The traditional-style table in the middle of the room is the perfect place to enjoy a drink while the cooking enthusiasts prepare a delicious meal. Enjoy dinner together at the custom-built, 12-person dining table.
Wolfhagen Voorhuus has six attractive bedrooms and three modern bathrooms. On the ground floor is a double bedroom with two single box-spring beds. On the first floor there are three more double bedrooms: the Box bed room, the Rose room and the Forest room. As the name suggests, the Box bed room is furnished with a cosy two-person box bed. The Rose room and the Forest room have a romantic double bed. On the first floor there is also a luxurious bathroom with a double washbasin, a free-standing clawfoot bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower. The staircase next to the Forest room takes you up to the second floor where there are two more double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outdoor space
The holiday home may be very cosy inside, but remember to make use of the lovely outdoor space as well! You have access to a fantastic covered, private terrace surrounded by plants and flowers. Start the day in the sun with a cup of coffee and a panorama of the surrounding meadows. Alongside the private terrace, you also have access to the rest of the grounds. The meadows, shared with other holidaymakers, have sun loungers, picnic tables, a trampoline, playground equipment, and other amenities. Children will love having a look at the original bakery from 1870 or the animals on the farm. ‘Wolfhagen Voorhuus’ is also the ideal base for walking and cycling. Starting from the path on the grounds, you can embark on a beautiful walk through the Geleenbeek valley. Take one of the picnic baskets provided with you and enjoy a delicious snack and drink while admiring the extraordinary views.
