Once upon a time, nestled amidst the serene woodlands of Kapellen, Belgium, stands a truly remarkable chateau, whispering stories of its rich past since 1898. Located at Kapelsestraat 196, this grand estate offers a rare opportunity for those seeking to immerse themselves in both history and the tranquil beauty of the Belgian countryside. As you drive along the tree-lined lanes that lead you to this abode, the chateau looms into view, its neo-traditional architecture set against nature’s canvas.
Stepping onto the elevated portico, you can feel the weight of history embracing you. The entrance hall greets you with an authentic mosaic floor, reflecting patterns of a bygone era, paired with the warmth of a classic fireplace. As a busy real estate agent, I’ve seen numerous properties, but every corner of this castle tells a different story, full of potential and promise.
The ground floor feels like a journey into the past, where floor-to-ceiling windows invite the diffused sunlight to dance off the polished parquet floors. Here you will find four main rooms, each graced with its own fireplace, ready to host intimate gatherings or grand soirees. Beyond these lie various service rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and a billiard room inviting you into leisurely afternoons. Imagine enjoying a cozy bath in the adjoining bathroom after a competitive game of billiards.
Up the majestic wooden staircase, the first floor unfolds into a central hallway. This leads to six rooms perfect for diverse use—a bedroom here, a reading room there, perhaps an office filled with sunlight and inspiration. With a bathroom equipped with a double sink and a walk-in shower, mornings are made luxurious even in such a historical setting.
