Alem once lay on the Brabant side of the River Meuse, but following the canalisation of the river, the village now forms part of the province of Gelderland.
Situated on a peninsula between the River Meuse and its floodplains, Alem is surrounded by an exceptional river landscape. Walkers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers will all feel at home here.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday amenities are surprisingly close by. The nearby villages of Rossum and Kerkdriel offer a comprehensive range of facilities.
The historic fortified town of Zaltbommel, with its railway station and direct access to the A2 motorway, is also within easy reach. Alem therefore combines the tranquillity of the countryside with excellent accessibility to the heart of the Netherlands.

At the foot of the dyke, in the rural surroundings of Alem, stands this architect-designed country house in the Kempen style, distinguished by its striking appearance, high-quality materials and thoughtful architectural design.
The property has been built with exceptional attention to detail.

Large windows provide abundant natural light and establish a natural connection with the outdoors. Both the main house and the outbuilding are equipped with air conditioning on both floors.

Surrounding the property is a beautifully landscaped garden with an irrigation system, which has matured gracefully over the years. Mature hedges, flowering borders, ornamental grasses and attractive trees create a green and private setting.
Several terraces have been created around the property, ensuring there is always a pleasant place to enjoy either the sunshine or the shade at any time of day. The generous veranda provides a wonderful setting in which to relax and enjoy outdoor living well into the evening.
