This nature house is located on the estate of the former Havezathe Plekenpol, surrounded by a historic moat. The estate’s history dates back to the year 1227, and the main building and the garden—with its unique trees—have held historic landmark status since late 2025. The nature house is accessible via a private driveway that crosses a bridge over the moat and leads through an orchard to the house. The house has its own private garden with seating areas both in the garden and on the adjacent meadow among the fruit trees. The ground floor features the bathroom, living room, dining room, toilet, and kitchen. The bedrooms on the upper floor are accessible via the staircase in the hallway (see photo). Various restaurants and the beach are within walking distance. The charming village of Winterswijk, located on the German border, is just a few minutes away by bike.
Nature and surroundings
The house is located right next to various biking and hiking trails; just step outside and choose a route through the woods or a walk across the adjacent Bleekersweide. Winterswijk is known for its bocage landscape, historic farms, and four Natura 2000 areas. Right next to the Plekenpol are two old water mills, with a cozy terrace next to them. The center of Winterswijk offers plenty of shopping options and cozy cafés and restaurants. Not to mention the weekly farmers’ market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Amazing house! You can’t really call it a vacation home. The hostess, Silke, is the epitome of hospitality—nothing is too much trouble for her. Tom, the host, is also super nice and helpful. We had a wonderful week on vacation.
Geweldig huis! Je kunt het eigenlijk geen vakantiehuisje noemen. De gastvrouw Silke is het toonbeeld van gastvrijheid, niets is haar teveel. Ook Tom de gastheer superaardig en behulpzaam. We hadden een geweldige vakantieweek.
It has the warmth and atmosphere of a country house, surrounded by a beautiful garden where we saw squirrels every day and bats darting by in the evening. A variety of birds also kept us entertained at every moment of the day. The house is fully equipped with all the amenities you need. You can go on beautiful bike rides starting from the trail junctions that run along the estate. You can spot two owls at the quarry 6 km away. (A lookout post has been set up there specifically for this purpose.) The house has plenty of reading material to fill your free time—there’s something for everyone.
Jan and ChrislaHet heeft de gezelligheid en sfeer van een landhuis met een prachtige tuin er om heen waar we dagelijks eekhoorns zagen en vleermuizen 's avonds voorbij doken. Ook een diversiteit aan vogels gaf ons elk moment van de dag iets te zien. Het huis is helemaal compleet voorzien van alle gemakken die je nodig hebt. Prachtige fietstochten kunnen maken vanaf de knooppunten die langs het landgoed lopen. Bij de steengroeve op 6 km afstand 2 uilen kunnen spotten. (uitkijkpost is daar speciaal voor gecreëerd). In het huis veel documentatie om de vrije tijd te vullen voor elk wat wils.

Silke welcomed us hospitably and made us feel right at home. The house is tastefully decorated and livable. Everything is there. We slept wonderfully, had a nice dinner in the garden. The house was clean, there were cookies, fruit and wine ready on arrival. Everything was thought of. We had a wonderful vacation and is definitely worth repeating.
Silke heeft ons gastvrij ontvangen en gezorgd dat we ons meteen thuis voelden. Het huis is sfeervol en leefbaar ingericht. Alles is aanwezig. We hebben heerlijk geslapen, lekker in de tuin gegeten. Het huis was zuiver, er stonden koekjes, fruit en wijn klaar bij aankomst. Aan alles was gedacht. Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad en is zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.
We enjoyed our mini vacation. Delicious to enjoy the garden with the birds, squirrel, beautiful green surroundings. Fine cycling, with the beetle a tour done, delicious close to the center of Winterswijk and yet in the countryside.
Wij hebben genoten van onze mini-vakantie. Heerlijk kunnen genieten van de tuin met de vogels, eekhoorn, prachtige groene omgeving. Fijn kunnen fietsen, met de kever een rondtoer gedaan, heerlijk dichtbij het centrum van Winterswijk en toch in het buitengebied.
