Farmhouse in Zelhem with Sauna Retreat

Nestled in the peaceful village of Zelhem, this beautifully restored farmhouse offers a serene countryside escape in the heart of the Achterhoek region. Surrounded by rolling fields and forest, it’s the perfect hideaway for couples looking to relax in privacy and style. Enjoy quiet mornings in the enclosed garden, unwind in the sauna, or cook up something special in the luxurious open kitchen designed for culinary enthusiasts.

Zelhem, over 1200 years old, combines history with rural charm. Nearby, Bronkhorst—the smallest city in the Netherlands—is known for its historic buildings now home to galleries, shops, and cafés. Just a short drive away are the Hanseatic cities of Doesburg, Zutphen, and Deventer, each filled with cobbled streets, riverside views, and lively cultural spots. Food lovers will appreciate the excellent dining options close by. In Zelhem, 'Eetcafé de Groes' offers cozy local fare, while 'Het Schaftlokaal' in Doetinchem serves refined dishes in a modern setting. 'By Chiel' in Zutphen delivers an innovative menu ideal for a special night out.

For pet owners, the surrounding trails through forests like ‘Het Zand’ are perfect for scenic walks, and the spacious garden gives pets room to roam freely. Whether you’re cycling through the Achterhoek’s leafy paths, enjoying a good book in the sun, or exploring historic towns, this farmhouse is your ideal base to slow down, savour, and reconnect.
