The farmhouse – living with history
At the heart of the estate stands the robust farmhouse, built in 1930. Acquired in the late 1970s by relatives of the current owners, the farmhouse was carefully extended and renovated to become a luxurious residence that also supported hobby farming.

Times, lifestyles and housing preferences evolve. This stunning property is ready for a new chapter—one that you can shape. Keywords might include: expanding the living area and comfort, modernization, sustainability upgrades or creating an additional unit for potential future family care.

Current layout:
A covered entrance, made of Bentheim stone, leads into a bright hallway with a tiled floor. The hallway provides access to the staircase, guest toilet, a country-style kitchen and a spacious living room in the traditional “endskamer”. Both the kitchen and the endskamer offer views of the scenic Twente countryside, while fireplaces create a warm, intimate atmosphere.

Upstairs are several bedrooms and a spacious bathroom.

The back of the farmhouse remains structurally original, featuring beautiful wooden beams and a traditional stable door (the so called ‘niendeur’). Where cows once stood, there are now five horse stables, a tack room and additional facilities including an office, shower and laundry connections.

Summer cottage
A short distance from the farmhouse, at the forest’s edge, a modest wooden summer house with a bitumen roof offers a potential guest accommodation.

Outbuildings
Next to the farmhouse is a large barn (225 m²), built in Saxon style with brick walls and wooden gables. It is currently used for equestrian purposes, containing several stables.

Behind the house is a large open barn, ideal for storing multiple cars, a camper, machinery, tools, etc.

Near the summer house is an old sheepfold, partially overgrown. Classic to a traditional Twente farmyard are the small chicken coop and a “spieker” (storage shed), offering opportunities for keeping poultry or small animals and storing or drying firewood from your own forest.

Land, woods and stream
Estate Wienenbleek spans approximately 7.24 hectares, consisting of around 4.5 hectares of meadows, bordered by about 2.4 hectares of forest and hedgerows. The meadows, which include a riding arena, are ideal for horses or other livestock, but can also be left natural to serve as a beautiful transition to the forest.

The forest provides a natural barrier to the adjacent Stokhorst neighborhood and is filled with impressive monumental trees and lush undergrowth. A meandering stream flows through the woods, making this a true paradise for flora and fauna. As the new owner, you might enjoy this daily!

Centrally located – city and nature within reach
This unique estate sits on a central, yet secluded location at the edge of the quiet and green villa district Het Stokhorst. From the farmhouse you can walk straight into the park-like landscape of “de Hoge Boekel”. The surroundings offer many walking and cycling routes to enjoy nature to the fullest.

Nearby cities like Enschede, Hengelo and Oldenzaal are easily accessible, so you can enjoy both rural tranquility and urban amenities. The vibrant center of Enschede is just a stone’s throw away, offering a rich cultural scene, from Michelin-starred restaurants and cozy cafés to museums like Rijksmuseum Twenthe and the Wilminktheater.
Enschede also hosts various educational institutions such as the University of Twente, Saxion University of Applied Sciences and ArtEZ University of the Arts. There are also local primary and secondary schools, sports clubs and shopping centers, making this estate ideal for families or anyone seeking a blend of rural charm and urban convenience.

Zoning plan / land use
The zoning plan “Buitengebied Zuid Oost” of the municipality of Enschede applies. The homestead is designated as residential use with agricultural character. The meadows, riding arena and hedgerows are zoned as agricultural and the forest is zoned as woodland. The entire estate is part of the urban fringe zone of Enschede.
