House

Are you looking for a property that offers space, tranquility, privacy, and exceptional potential? Then this charming home on a spacious lot of no less than 4,830 m² in Hechtel is definitely worth exploring.
The property is located in a prime agricultural area and includes an existing home with adjoining pastureland. The combination of the rural setting, the spacious land, and the existing structure makes this a particularly attractive property for anyone who dreams of a life surrounded by nature, with room for horses, animals, or agricultural use—always in compliance with applicable zoning regulations.
The existing home dates from around 1950 and, according to the EPC, has a usable floor area of 120 m².

An additional asset is the exceptionally spacious 4,830 m² lot, which adjoins pastureland. This gives the property an exceptionally rural character and offers plenty of space for lovers of the outdoors.
The home has an EPC rating of F with a calculated energy score of 1,224 kWh/m² per year.
