An Equestrian’s Dream European Home Asks €3M in the Netherlands

Nestled in the village of Eefde—roughly an hour away from Amsterdam—this $3.1 million property is a rare find. Designed with equal care for horses and humans, the home with a fully-equipped horse husbandry center is perfect for equestrians or anyone longing for a tranquil, countryside European lifestyle. And, just imagine what it will all look like covered in snow.

At the property’s heart is an indoor arena with advanced high-and-low tide flooring and abundant natural light, complemented by an outdoor arena with plenty of room for prancing and trotting. It holds 44 spacious stalls, broad corridors, and dedicated grooming, feeding, and relaxing areas to ensure the utmost care for your horses. Outside, over 11 acres of lush pastures are divided into smaller, fenced lots, creating a safe and serene environment for grazing.

That’s the paradise for horses, but the farmhouse, originally built in 1931, has been renovated into a delightful home for humans. Blending rustic charm with modern luxury, its living room transformed from the former stables boasts natural stone floors, exposed oak beams, and walls of glass offering wide views of the grounds. Steps away, the kitchen/dining area is another key centerpiece. Eight bedrooms, including a separate wing with additional stalls for the horses, make it an ideal size for a large family, their visitors, or even staff.

Outside, landscaped gardens, an orchard, and shaded terraces provide endless opportunities to enjoy the serene surroundings. On days you feel like hopping into town, the charming cities of Deventer and Zutphen are just a short drive away. Germany is also within driving distance when you wish to adventure across borders.

Whether you’re an equestrian envisioning a prospering professional venture or a family seeking a retreat in the heart of Europe, this estate provides a prime environment for living out your dreams. Ingeberg Swarts of Christie’s International Real Estate holds the listing, asking €2,999,000.
