Modern country house with spacious garden in Retranchement

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | ±410 m² living area | Plot ±28,690 m² | Design by P. Driesmans

On the Waterschipdijkje in Retranchement, just across the Dutch border and roughly an eight-minute drive from Het Zoute, this modern country house sits on a plot of almost 2.9 hectares. The road connecting Oosthoek and Ter Hofstede runs past open fields, farms and pastures, and the property itself is bordered on every side by farmland, leaving it largely free from overlook.

The house has a total built volume of around 1,500 m³ and was conceived to a design by P. Driesmans. The entrance hall, with its own separate toilet, opens onto a spacious living room where French doors frame views across the surrounding fields and an open fireplace anchors the seating area. The kitchen, measuring 6.5 by 5 metres, is fitted with a range cooker with seven gas burners and three electric ovens, alongside a separate combi oven and steam oven.

An intermediate hall with built-in cupboards connects the living areas to the barn and atelier, each reached through its own toilet. This space measures 6.5 by 12 metres, with ceiling heights running up to the ridge and large barn doors that open onto the fields beyond. The ground floor also holds a generous storage room that could equally serve as a bedroom, again with views over the fields, and a shower room with a spacious shower and washbasin. A separate, notably large laundry room with built-in storage and its own exterior door completes this level.

Upstairs, three particularly large bedrooms each look out over the grounds. Two fully fitted bathrooms serve this floor, each with a double washbasin, bath, shower and Philippe Starck sanitaryware.

The outbuilding houses storage space, an attic and a workshop, together with three indoor garages and a driveway with room for several cars. Rainwater tanks with a capacity of 30,000 litres, ground-mounted solar panels and provisions for an alarm and home automation system complete the technical setup. The grounds include a 65-year-old walnut tree among fruit trees and willows, enclosed by a hedge of hawthorn and oak, with a weeping willow by the well. Between Oosthoek and Ter Hofstede, surrounded by fields and farmland, this country house sits a short drive from Het Zoute.
