Wallenbeek estate - Wallenbeekweg 22, Enschede

R365 Christie's International Real Estate is honoured to offer this estate classified under the Nature Conservation Act with a designer villa designed on the site: Landgoed Wallenbeek in Enschede.

This villa, designed by the well-known regional architect Hans Lenferink, is tucked between the estates of the hamlet of Hooge Boekel, on the edge of the Stokhorst residential area, amid the characteristic hedge landscape of Twente. The view here changes with the seasons, each time forming a unique, natural painting.

The villa was designed and excellently built by the current owners, together with the architect, with great care and attention. The design villa, completed in 2023, stands on 51,253 m2 of its own historic land and offers unobstructed views over the rolling Twente landscape, a beautiful meadow and a private forest with a small pond.

Architecture & design
The design is based on a clear vision of space, light and proportions. The house forms the transition between the higher forest and the lower farmland landscape. No standard dimensions or average layout, but customised experience. Heights, sightlines and openness create powerful architecture with understated, timeless luxury. Modern use of materials and high-quality finishes bring tranquillity and cohesion.

Layout - ground floor
The heart of the villa is the generous open living space - with the layout so popular in this day and age - consisting of living room, TV/study, kitchen and dining area. An impressive floor-to-ceiling glass wall extends across almost the entire width, seamlessly blending indoors and outdoors.
The large windows are fitted with electrically operated screens and mosquito nets, making it easy to regulate light, privacy and comfort. From the living space, you overlook the rolling landscape with lawn, water and forest edges. Central to this view is the natural swimming pond, beautifully embedded in the grounds and in complete harmony with its surroundings. The swimming pond has a filter system and UV cleaner, ensuring crystal-clear water with a natural appearance. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room. From the living room there is access to a study and through the hall you can reach a spacious study, making the villa ideal for working at home.

Floor
The relationship with the outside can also be felt on the first floor. From the bedrooms, you overlook the fields and trees. Here there are four bedrooms, a wardrobe and two bathrooms. The two outer bedrooms are distinguished by their high ceilings, providing extra light and a special spaciousness.
The bathrooms are modern and stylish, both equipped with double sinks and a walk-in shower. One bathroom has a characteristic eggshell bathtub. There is also a separate toilet.
All rooms are connected by a long corridor with a herringbone-laid wooden floor, in open connection with the hall downstairs. This creates an impressive height experience and architectural coherence.

Outdoor space
The plot is enclosed by the Twente hedge landscape and offers optimal privacy. In the yard are a detached barn and a canopy where two cars can be parked dry and sheltered.

Durability & comfort
The villa is fully equipped for modern and sustainable living and features include a heat pump, underfloor heating and cooling, electric screens and mosquito nets, 36 solar panels, HR+++ glazing, a cooling and ventilation system (air conditioning), heat recovery system (WTW), extensive home automation (control of screens, air conditioning, camera security, lighting and alarm), a water softener, two charging points with smart charging system and a GPS-controlled robotic lawnmower.

Location & amenities
The centre of Enschede offers a full range of amenities with shops, restaurants, sports clubs, (international) schools and the University of Twente. Villapark Stokhorst is approximately 500 metres away and the popular village of Lonneker can be reached within about five cycling minutes.
Here you will experience the best of both worlds: the tranquillity and warm noaberschap of Twente country life, combined with the dynamics and accessibility of the city.

Historic setting
Wallenbeek estate is located on Hooge Boekel, in an area traditionally rich in old farmyards that were later transformed into estates by Twente textile manufacturers. Among the many estates in this characterful area, this place forms a special entity: a contemporary designer villa, carefully positioned in a landscape that has been cherished for its tranquillity, space and natural beauty for generations.

NSW estate
The estate has its own NSW status (Natuurschoonwet 1928), which can offer various tax advantages, including with regard to transfer tax and gift and inheritance schemes. We will be happy to inform you in more detail during a viewing.

Wallenbeek Estate is not a villa that you just view; it is a place that you have to experience. The arrival via the driveway, the openness of the landscape, the play of light in the architecture and the natural swimming pond combine to form a daily ritual of tranquillity, quality and beauty.

For those who want to combine design, landscape and modern living comfort in an exceptional living environment, this represents a rare opportunity.
