Nature house in Aalten

This nature house is a stylish eco-friendly vacation home situated on a centuries-old sandy path in a lush es. The pavilion stands freestanding on a large, fenced-in private property. The right wing features a bel-etage and a basement. While the right wing is structured like a complex puzzle, the left wing is a single open space with a living room featuring a four-meter-high ceiling. On the ground floor, there’s a large alcove where you can retreat to read a book, have a good conversation, or gaze outside. The ground floor also features the large bathroom and the master bedroom with a balcony, where the morning sun welcomes you. A flood of light pours into the basement, which features two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a utility room. The master bedroom has an alcove containing a fold-up bunk bed. This allows the room to be transformed in an instant from a spacious double room into a smart four-person room. The pavilion is biobased, circular, and energy-positive. Check-out on Sun, Wed, and Thu is by 6:00 PM.

The house is located in the beautiful Winterswijk National Landscape, but you can also reach the Markt in Aalten in no time. The 5,000 m² private grounds feature a natural landscape with hedgerows, copses, and tall grass rich in herbs; the grass is kept short immediately around the pavilion. The Winterswijk National Landscape stretches from Aalten and Groenlo all the way to the German border. It is an ancient bocage landscape featuring many ash trees, copses, avenues, hedgerows, and occasional raised bogs. Near Ratum, there is a large, open quarry where Tertiary-era fossils can be found right at the surface. The charming village of Aalten is rich in cultural and historical heritage and features a lovely old market square with various cafes, bistros, and restaurants. The former manor and the tiny fortified town of Bredevoort are located three kilometers from the pavilion, a wonderful walk through the beautiful countryside. Bredevoort is also known as the “book town” because of its antiquarian bookshops and secondhand bookstores.
