Farmhouse Finsterwolde presents a rare convergence of provenance and rural tranquillity on the edge of the Oldambt region. This historic residence, dating back to 1850 and reimagined in 1892, rests along a serene rural lane, enveloped by farmlands and centuries-old trees. Offering approximately 333 m² of refined living space, the property includes a main house, an integrated guest apartment, and a monumental barn with a soaring 12-metre ridge height, set within 5,895 m² of landscaped grounds. The unobstructed views and mature orchard evoke a timeless sense of place that aligns with the surrounding landscape.
The front façade, with natural stone steps and decorative brickwork, reflects classic Groningen architecture. Inside, restored original features—marble flooring, tall sash windows, ornate millwork—define a sequence of imposing reception rooms and tranquil private areas. The kitchen is anchored by natural stone floors and a period AGA cooker, while generous bathrooms are finished in stone and timber under skylights. The first floor offers peaceful bedrooms, an office, and a serene bathroom illuminated by Velux skylights and warmed by a hybrid heat pump.
Beyond the main house, the self-contained apartment delivers privacy and flexibility, suitable for guests or independent living. The barn, with its immense open area and preserved timber trusses, enables a multitude of work and leisure pursuits. An orangery, rainwater-fed pond, and orchard further enrich the estate’s sense of rural abundance. Outdoor living is centred around an historic haystack veranda and deep, secluded gardens. Energy efficiency is elevated through double glazing, a hybrid heat pump, new insulation, and 38 solar panels.
Farmhouse Finsterwolde is quietly set near the De Tjamme nature reserve, Blauwestad, and Oldambtmeer lake; Winschoten is ten minutes by car, with Groningen city accessible in half an hour. Here, architectural heritage meets country living in a location that values authenticity, discretion, and sustainable comfort.
