Stately main residence with rural-modern architecture

The eye-catcher of the estate is the stately villa, originally built in 2002 and completely renovated to a very high standard between 2017 and 2018 in a rural-modern style. The property exudes a contemporary, luxurious atmosphere thanks to the use of authentic, high-quality materials such as solid parquet floors, characteristic Belgian blue stone, an abundance of custom built-in wardrobes, and energy-efficient technologies.

On the ground floor, you are welcomed by a generous entrance hall that provides access to a fully equipped open kitchen, which flows seamlessly into the very spacious, light-filled living area. Additionally, the ground floor features a separate office, various storage rooms, and a practical laundry room. The first floor houses a grand master suite, complete with a bedroom, dressing room, and a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and shower. There are also two additional spacious bedrooms, each equipped with its own en-suite bathroom and dressing room. Thanks to the large windows, you can enjoy panoramic and tranquil views of the estate and the surrounding nature from everywhere in the house.

In addition to the main house, the complex includes a separate, spacious studio apartment that is perfect for live-in staff or a groom.

Fully equipped luxury B&B with tourism potential

Located in the left wing of the building is a fully furnished B&B with 5 guest rooms, complemented by a charming and spacious lounge area. This section benefits from its own private entrance, ensuring that the privacy of the main residence is maintained at all times.

Thanks to its strategic location right next to the vast State Forests (Staatsbossen), this property offers unique business opportunities. The estate is exceptionally well-suited for hosting training clinics and coaching sessions with overnight stays, or for offering exclusive holidays to riders and carriage drivers who wish to enjoy miles of equestrian trails in the forests.

Professional equestrian infrastructure with broad permits

For the horse lover or professional equestrian entrepreneur, this estate is a perfect match. The equestrian facilities are designed for optimal functionality and possess the correct, comprehensive permits. The site is currently explicitly permitted for three different activities within the sector:

  1. Horse breeding and rearing farm (opfokbedrijf)

  2. Equine therapy / coaching center

  3. Equestrian facility and livery yard (paardenpension)

The professional outdoor facilities include, among others:

  • 11 individual horse stalls and a very large group/open stable (loopstal).

  • A professional outdoor arena of approx. 44m x 70m.

  • A functional round pen for training and groundwork.

  • Ample covered space for storing hay, straw, and machinery.

  • Expansive, wooden-fenced paddocks and pastures surrounding the buildings.

At the heart of the property is a beautiful central courtyard, arranged with several cozy seating areas, where you can relax in peace and take in the panoramic views of the equestrian complex.

Peace, privacy, and excellent energy efficiency

While the estate is characterized by absolute tranquility, it boasts a favorable EPC energy rating (152 kWh/m² - asbestos-safe) thanks to the use of energy-efficient technologies and high-efficiency glazing. Its location in the Noorderkempen is logistically very strong, offering quick and easy connections to well-known equestrian hotspots and international showgrounds in both Belgium and the Netherlands.
