THE ESTATE RESIDENCE CONCEPT
Exclusive Residences at Buitenplaats De Hulst
Residing on a Historic Private Estate, with the Unlimited Freedom of Modern Living
Traditionally, a country estate was far more than a place to live. It represented a way of life—a world where peace, space, and nature come together, and where the pace of everyday life gives way to reflection, privacy, and quality. At Buitenplaats De Hulst, this centuries-old tradition is reimagined for the modern era: an exclusive residential concept where heritage, luxury, and contemporary comfort blend seamlessly.
A Truly Unique Residential Setting
The Smile of Twente
Nestled on the southwestern slope of the Tankenberg—the highest point in the province of Overijssel—lies one of the Netherlands’ most exceptional residential locations. Buitenplaats De Hulst is not a housing development; it is an approximately 18-hectare historic private estate, exclusively accessible to its residents and their guests.
The moment you pass through the monumental entrance gate, the pace of life changes. Majestic beech avenues, historic sightlines, a characteristic park meadow, and landscape structures designed by renowned landscape architect Leonard Springer create the backdrop for an extraordinary living environment.
Here, you live surrounded by nature, tranquility, and beauty, while urban amenities and international connections remain remarkably close at hand.
The Residences
Architecture in Dialogue with History
Within the sheltered setting of the former kitchen gardens, two elegant villas are being realized, designed by architect Ir. Egbert Hoogenberk. Together, they will accommodate only nine exclusive residences.
The architecture is refined and timeless—not an intrusion upon the estate, but a natural continuation of its story. The villas form a new chapter in the centuries-old narrative of De Hulst.
Space and Light
The residences are characterized by generous living areas, soaring ceilings, and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows that fully embrace the surrounding landscape. The parkland becomes an integral part of the interior experience.
Panoramic Views
From your private terrace, you enjoy uninterrupted views across the gently rolling park meadow toward the iconic Plechelmus Tower of Oldenzaal. A panorama that changes with the seasons and never loses its appeal.
Bespoke Living
No two residences are alike. Thanks to a flexible design concept, owners have the freedom to collaborate with their own architect or interior designer to create a home that perfectly reflects their lifestyle, aspirations, and personal aesthetic.
Comfort, Security, and Discretion
Buitenplaats De Hulst has been designed for residents who value privacy, tranquility, and effortless luxury.
Secure Private Parking
Beneath the villas lies a secure underground parking facility with spacious private parking spaces and dedicated storage areas.
Private Lift Access
From the parking garage, a private lift takes you directly into your residence. A rare level of convenience, security, and discretion more commonly associated with the world’s most prestigious residential developments.
Smart Living
Every residence is built to the highest standards of sustainability, technology, and energy efficiency (A+++ energy rating). Innovation enhances the living experience while remaining elegantly unobtrusive.
