In the rural and peaceful countryside, situated between Losser and Overdinkel, you will find this modernized and sustainable (Energy Label A++) detached home with various outbuildings. Ideally suited for horse lovers thanks to the well-designed facilities and a plot spanning over 3 hectares.
Location
The property is located in the Twente region between Losser and Overdinkel, with the meandering Ruhenbergerbeek in the backyard, part of the Dinkel river basin. Throughout the year, there is much to see and experience in terms of flora and fauna. The area is perfect for adventurous walks, bike rides, or horseback riding. Overdinkel is a small village with basic facilities and an active community. In contrast, nearby Losser (a 9-minute bike ride) offers a robust range of amenities. The larger cities, Enschede, Oldenzaal, and the German town of Gronau, are about 15 kilometers away and easily accessible. A bus stop with a connection to Enschede is located just 400 meters away.

A large landing with attic access via a pull-down ladder. The master bedroom is well-sized and includes a passage to a dressing room. Furthermore, there are two other bedrooms, one of which leads to a large attic space. With minimal modifications, additional rooms could be created here.
Outbuildings
There are two outbuildings on the property. The first building is a former farmhouse currently used as a garage, storage, workspace, and hay storage. This approximately 80 m² building could, with some adjustments and municipal approval, be suitable as an in-law suite or B&B. The second building is a large barn of approximately 120 m². It houses three spacious horse stalls (4 x 4 meters) and includes a washing and grooming area. For those seeking alternative uses, it’s helpful to know that the stalls are easily removable. The barn also serves as storage for various tools and vehicles, such as a trailer.
The Grounds
The access road is a semi-paved road between Losser and Overdinkel. A long driveway leads to the grounds with ample parking space for multiple cars. The grounds are primarily set up for horse keeping. In front of the house lies a professional riding arena (22 x 45 meters) with a soil improver, sprinkler system, good drainage, LED lighting and a fence. There is also a spacious lunging circle. Pastures are located at the front and back of the property, where the horses can graze peacefully.
Apple and pear trees are scattered around the property, and the freedom and views at the rear of this lot are unique. The “lower meadow” is a drainage area, providing the opportunity for ice skating in the winter and fresh grass for animals in the summer.
There are five groundwater wells on the property, one of which is located inside the barn. The wells provide clean water suitable for animals and potentially as rinse water for the house in the future. Close to amenities, but with ultimate freedom.
