Exceptional property for sale

unique square farm

Located approximately 15 km from Namur in Belgium, just under an hour's drive from Maastricht, hidden off the beaten track yet with all amenities within reach, a private driveway leads to this stunning ensemble. You can confidently call it an “imposing” structure. Surrounding the intimate courtyard, this castle farm comprises no less than 825 m² of living space distributed across 61 rooms, plus 436 m² of barn and other indoor spaces. Its origins date back to 1714 and it features a substantial expansion from 1848.

Since its purchase in 2019, this square farmstead has been lovingly renovated using ecological materials, preserving original details such as bluestone, sills, trusses, and fireplaces, while equipping it with modern technology and insulation. Under the current owners, the complex has served as a spacious private residence and group accommodation for spiritual reflection and as a retreat center. Due to the layout, the possibilities for use and occupancy are endless. The front section houses the private residence, which consists of a stately entrance, dining room, a spacious living room with wooden flooring and a fireplace; an office room, a large enclosed kitchen; a utility room, 4 bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

The left wing comprises 3 cozy studios (each with its own bathroom), 3 bedrooms (with private toilets), and 2 spacious apartments with private facilities. A relaxation area has been created in the original milk room.

The rear wing (retreat center) is laid out with a reception area featuring a professional kitchen with a bar, a practice room, restrooms, a huge living room, a multi-purpose room, a yoga studio, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms.

The right wing houses the technical facilities. For instance, a future-proof 100 kW central heating system running on wood chips or pellets was recently installed; the enormous Tithe Barn (with an earthen floor) could potentially be given a new layout or purpose. Located next to the barn is the horse stable, suitable for 2 to 3 horses. The outdoor area consists of a paddock and a park-like garden that are part of the approximately 8,280 m² plot, which is playfully laid out and features a sauna barrel and a detached guest chalet overlooking the greenery and a centuries-old oak.

The property is fully equipped with double glazing and 33 solar panels. During the renovation of the retreat center, ecological and/or natural materials were used (sheep's wool, lime-hemp, Belgian oak flooring, etc.).
