Description

This house for sale in Hoogstraten has seven bedrooms, a private pool and 33 solar panels with a 40 kWh battery on a 954 m² plot in Meerle. It stands on a quiet dead-end street among other detached homes, with forest close by. Built in 1986 and renovated in 1997, it is a large family house in good condition.

The House: 304 m² of Family Space



You step into a tall, open hallway with a spiral staircase, and the house opens up from there. The living room is open-plan, with big windows facing the garden and a Flam wood-burning stove glazed on three sides. A dining area sits next to it. The kitchen is separate but open, with a central cooking island, built-in appliances and a small dining nook for everyday breakfasts. Sliding doors lead from the living area straight onto the covered terrace.

Three bedrooms are on the ground floor, which gives you options: guest rooms, a home office, a playroom, or a bedroom for a relative who prefers to avoid stairs. This level also has a bathroom with a bathtub and double washbasin, a separate toilet, a laundry room with washing machine connections and a storage room with built-in cabinets.

Upstairs there is a generous landing and four more bedrooms. The master suite has a walk-in closet and air conditioning, and another bedroom looks out over the garden. The upstairs bathroom has a jacuzzi bathtub, a closed shower, a toilet and a double washbasin. Dormer windows bring extra light to this floor. A small utility room holds the heating system and an additional electric boiler, and it gives access to the attic for storage.

Garden, Pool and Covered Terrace



The plot is 954 m². There is a large front garden and a private rear garden with a swimming pool and a garden shed. The covered terrace looks over the whole garden and pool area, so it works for dinners outside even when the weather is mixed. A private driveway provides on-site parking.

The street is a dead end with local traffic only, and the neighbours are all in detached houses. That is a real plus when children are cycling or you want to swim without being overlooked.

Solar Power and Running Costs



The energy setup is what sets this home apart from most family houses in the area. It has 33 solar panels of 400 Wp each, connected to an off-grid system with a 40 kWh battery bank. According to the seller, the house can run almost entirely on solar energy for roughly nine months of the year, depending on the weather.

The rest of the system backs this up: full thermal insulation, thermopane glazing and a high-efficiency gas combi boiler. Underfloor heating covers both floors, and air conditioning units can heat as well as cool. The energy label is C. Ask for recent consumption figures when you view, so you can see how the numbers look over a full year.

Living in Hoogstraten and Meerle



Meerle is a village in the municipality of Hoogstraten, close to the Dutch border in the north of Antwerp province. The setting is rural Kempen: forest at the edge of the neighbourhood, flat roads and local shops and schools in Meerle itself. The town of Hoogstraten, known for its Sint-Katharinakerk and its strawberries, is a short drive away for larger errands.

Breda in the Netherlands is about half an hour away by car, and Antwerp is roughly 45 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. Both Brussels Airport and Eindhoven Airport are roughly an hour or a little more by road. That makes the house practical for a family that splits time between Belgium and abroad, or for anyone looking for a second home in Belgium that is still within reach of a major city.

Frequently Asked Questions



How self-sufficient is the house on solar power?
The seller reports that it can run almost entirely on solar energy for about nine months a year, depending on weather. The system combines 33 panels with a 40 kWh battery, and it is worth reviewing the yearly figures during a viewing.

How far is the house from Antwerp and the airports?
Antwerp is roughly 45 minutes to an hour by car. Brussels Airport and Eindhoven Airport are each about an hour away, a little more in heavy traffic.

Is it suitable for a large family or for guests?
With seven bedrooms, three of them on the ground floor, there is room for several generations or regular visitors. The two bathrooms are the main thing to plan around if the house is full.

Step out the back door on a Saturday morning and what you get is this: birdsong, the faint shimmer of a small pond through the trees, and a garden so generously sized it takes a proper walk to reach the far end. That's life at 't Lo 10 in Hamont-Achel — a Belgian border village that flies under the radar precisely because the people who know it prefer to keep it that way. This is a solid, full-character detached house sitting on roughly 3,250 square metres of private grounds in one of the quietest corners of the Campine region. Built in 1939, renovated in 2008, it carries that particular quality that only older, well-kept homes have — thick walls, genuine proportions, rooms that feel like rooms rather than corridors dressed up with furniture. With around 218 square metres of internal living space and a further attic that could, with the right permits and a bit of ambition, become additional bedrooms or a generous studio, this house gives you something to grow into rather than out of. The plot is the real talking point. 3,250 square metres in a central Belgian location at this price point is genuinely rare — the kind of land holding that developers circle and families guard carefully across generations. The garden wraps around the house on all sides, with a sun terrace positioned to catch the long Flemish summer afternoons, a small pond that draws dragonflies in July and frost-edged stillness in December, and mature greenery that provides a visual buffer from the rest of the world. A large garden house sits on the plot, useful as a workshop, hobby studio, or straightforward overflow storage. Two additional garages currently handle the same, though both could easily be repurposed. Getting in and out of the property is s ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Maasmechelen and the terrace outside Nijverheidslaan 43 is already filling up — coffee steam rising, the low hum of conversation, the smell of something good coming from the kitchen. From the upstairs living room, you look down through the window at a scene you own, quite literally. That's the kind of investment this property is. Not a spreadsheet exercise. A life built into bricks. This is a rare find in the Belgian property market: a fully functioning commercial ground floor paired with a genuinely spacious four-bedroom residence above it, all sitting on 816 square metres of land in one of Limburg's most trafficked tourist corridors. The address — Nijverheidslaan 43 — is not a quiet backstreet. It's 1.5 kilometres from Maasmechelen Village, the designer outlet that draws over three million visitors a year from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. The M2 shopping centre is essentially next door. Foot traffic here is not something you have to hope for. It's structural. The ground floor has been operating as a restaurant and café space, and the infrastructure is fully set up for exactly that. A professional kitchen of around 30 square metres, a dining room with capacity for approximately 56 guests, and a sun-facing terrace that seats around 72 more. The permits are in place. The heating system for the commercial space runs independently from the residential one above. Camera surveillance and an alarm system are already installed. The current tenant has expressed interest in staying on after the sale — meaning a buyer can step in on day one and immediately collect rental income without lifting a finger. Up the internal staircase and the character of the building shifts entirely. The residential flo ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Moelingen, you can stand at the kitchen window with a coffee in hand, watching mist lift off the Voer valley while a wood pigeon settles into the oak at the garden's edge. The church bells from Sint-Martinus carry faintly across the fields. Nothing is urgent here. That particular stillness—unhurried, genuinely rural, yet only nine kilometers from Maastricht's restaurant terraces—is what makes this house on Winkel 12 so hard to find and harder to forget. Built around 1930, this detached home was stripped back and thoughtfully rebuilt from 2016 onward. The renovation didn't try to hide what the house was. Original proportions were kept. The entrance hall still has that solid, generous feel of interwar Belgian construction, now dressed with custom oak details that signal, immediately, that the finishes here are serious. Parquet runs across the entire upper floor. The staircase is fixed timber, not a retrofit afterthought. Every material choice was made once and made well. The ground floor opens into a kitchen and dining space of about 43 square meters—large enough that four people can cook together without negotiating territory. A central island anchors the room, fitted with induction hob, integrated extractor, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The real win, though, is the wall of glass at the back: a full sliding door that dissolves the boundary between kitchen and covered terrace on warm evenings, when the garden smells of cut grass and whatever's on the grill. South-facing plots in this valley hold the light until late, and this one makes full use of that fact. The living room—about 29 square meters—has a wood-burning stove that actually gets used. In November, when the hills ... click here to read more

Pull up to Moldershoevenstraat 82 on a quiet Tuesday morning and you might almost miss it. The façade is deliberately low-key — filtered windows, a restrained entrance, nothing shouting for attention. Then you step inside, and the whole equation flips. Light pours through precisely placed openings, custom oak joinery lines the walls, and the meadows stretch out behind the house like a painting someone forgot to frame. This is what happens when a talented architect gets free rein on a 1960s Belgian gem and decides not to gut its soul in the process. Architect Thijs Prinsen of Lens° Ass. Architecten led the full transformation between 2020 and 2021, and the work shows the kind of restraint that's actually harder to pull off than spectacle. The original bones of the house — its footprint, its proportions, its quiet relationship with the land — stayed intact. Everything else was reconsidered. The result sits somewhere between a considered family home and a boutique residence: warm enough to feel lived-in, refined enough that every material choice makes you stop and look twice. Downstairs, the layout divides cleanly into two worlds. The practical zone — cloakroom, toilet, technical room — sits discreetly to one side, completely out of sight from anyone settling into the living room. And that living room earns its keep. A large pivot door means it can open into the rest of the ground floor or close off entirely, which matters more than you'd think when you're working from home on a call and your partner is hosting friends in the kitchen. The fireplace anchors the space. Custom cabinetry runs the full length of one wall. It doesn't feel staged; it feels used. The kitchen deserves its own moment. An olive-green accent wall se ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in Hoelbeek, the only sounds are birdsong, the soft shuffle of horses in their stables, and a tractor somewhere in the distance crossing a field of sugar beet. By nine o'clock you're drinking coffee on the veranda, looking out over nearly 4,000 square metres of your own land, and wondering why you ever thought a city apartment was enough. That's the daily reality at Hoelbeekstraat 78 — a substantial, dual-unit property on a sweeping rural plot in the heart of Belgian Limburg, priced at €649,000. This isn't a weekend escape that requires compromise. With a total living area of 432 square metres spread across two legally approved residential units — each carrying its own house number, its own entrance, its own garage — the property works for a striking range of buyers. Families who want to fold generations under one roof without losing independence. Buyers eyeing a live-in investment, occupying one side and renting the other. Remote workers who want a proper home office that doesn't involve converting a spare bedroom. Or simply people who want more space than Belgian cities can realistically offer at this price point. The two units are configured as a semi-detached house: number 78 on one side, number 80 on the other. They can run independently or be opened into a single sprawling family home — that flexibility is genuinely rare and, frankly, underappreciated in how much it future-proofs a purchase. Unit 78 sets a welcoming tone from the moment you step into its entrance hall. The ground floor flows through a generous living room into a modern kitchen, and then out into a bright veranda that becomes the unofficial heart of the house in spring and summer. There's also a bathroom with both a ba ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning at Linkesstraat 8 and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the uneasy kind—the rich, layered kind. Wind through the tops of old beeches. A woodpecker somewhere deep in the tree line. The smell of damp grass and pine drifting across a garden so large it takes a moment to find the edges. This is Gewaai, the quietest hamlet in Zutendaal, and this house sits at the very end of it, with forest on one side and open agricultural land rolling out behind. The plot alone is extraordinary. Just over 5,069 square metres, which is not a number that means much until you're standing in it. There's room for a proper kitchen garden, a trampoline, a fire pit, multiple seating areas, and still enough lawn left over that the kids disappear for an hour without anyone worrying. A 35-square-metre garden house handles the overflow of bikes, tools, kayaks, and everything else that accumulates when you actually use the outdoors. The double carport—nearly six metres wide—keeps both cars sheltered year-round. The house itself was completely renovated in 2005 and has been maintained with care since. Ground floor living is anchored by a generous 73-square-metre open-plan space that combines the living room and kitchen under ceilings reaching 2.70 metres. Natural slate floors run throughout this level, warmed from below by underfloor heating that means bare feet in January are entirely reasonable. A cast iron wood stove sits in the living room and, yes, the wood is included—so the first winter evening is sorted before you've even unpacked. Large windows face the garden on multiple sides, which means the light shifts beautifully through the day and every season brings a different view: frost-edged grass in ... click here to read more

Stand in the back garden on a Saturday morning, coffee in hand, and you can hear the church bells from Sint-Pietersberg drifting across the Jeker valley. Five minutes later, you could be cycling into Maastricht along the river path, arriving at the Markt square in time for the weekend market. That's the daily reality of life at Statiestraat 54 in Kanne — a village so close to the Dutch border that you genuinely straddle two countries, two cultures, and two entirely different rhythms of life, all from one address. Kanne is one of those places that hasn't been discovered by the crowds yet, and locals prefer it that way. The village sits in the Belgian province of Limburg, tucked into the Jeker river valley just below the cliff face where the legendary Château Neercanne rises — the only working terraced wine château in the Benelux region, where you can book a table for Sunday lunch and eat house-smoked salmon with a glass of Moselle white while looking out over the vineyards. That's ten minutes on foot from this front door. The walking and cycling infrastructure here is serious — the Voerendaal to Tongeren cycling route passes right through, and the chalk cave trail beneath Sint-Pietersberg is something that still surprises first-time visitors, an entire underground world of galleries and war history carved into the limestone hill. The house itself was built in 1959 and carries that solidity that post-war Belgian construction is known for — thick walls, generous proportions, a sense that the building was made to last. It has been updated thoughtfully over the decades rather than gutted and neutralised. The bathroom was fully renovated in 2021 with contemporary fixtures and a proper walk-in shower. Fourteen solar panels on ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in Hechtel and the air already tells you something is different. It carries pine resin from the Bosland forest, a vast 5,500-hectare wilderness of trails, heathland, and cycling paths that begins practically at the end of the street. This isn't a suburb pretending to be countryside. It's the real thing — and Verloren Eind 25 sits right in the thick of it. The house itself was built in 1992, but don't let that date fool you. A thorough renovation carried out between 2020 and 2021 stripped it back and rebuilt it properly, with materials chosen for longevity rather than appearance. A second bathroom followed in 2026. The result is 243 square metres of genuinely move-in-ready living space on a 961-square-metre plot — the kind of footprint that lets a garden actually breathe. Walk through the front door and the hallway opens wide, light coming in from multiple angles. The ground floor is fully accessible and liveable, which matters more than most buyers initially realise — it means flexibility for a multi-generational family, a guest who needs single-level access, or simply the freedom to age gracefully in a home you love. The open living and dining area is anchored by large windows that frame the garden rather than just overlook it. On a grey February afternoon, that garden still manages to look alive. In July, when Belgian summers surprise everyone with their warmth, the terrace becomes the most-used room in the house. The kitchen is fitted for people who actually cook. Solid appliances, proper storage, counter space that doesn't run out the moment you start prepping a Sunday roast. It connects naturally to the dining area so conversations don't get interrupted by walls. Four bedrooms ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Eksel starts with the smell of fresh bread drifting from the bakery two doors down on Marktplein. You open the living room's large windows, let the village sounds in — a cyclist ringing a bell, the low hum of conversation at the café terrace — and pour a coffee before anyone else in the house is awake. That quiet, unhurried rhythm is what makes this address so hard to walk away from. Marktplein 17 sits directly on Eksel's central square, which sounds like it should be noisy, but isn't. This is a Flemish village of about 4,000 people in the Limburg province, part of the broader Kempen heathland region — flat, forested, and fiercely underrated as a base for anyone seeking real Belgian countryside life rather than a postcard version of it. The house itself is a solidly built detached property, originally constructed in 1954 and put through a thorough renovation in 2010 that brought everything up to a genuinely modern standard. At 272 square meters of interior space on a 1,033-square-meter plot, it's one of the larger private homes on the square, and it shows. Inside, the scale hits you immediately. The entrance hallway is wide and welcoming — not the narrow corridor you often find in Belgian village homes of this era. It opens into a living room where a built-in gas fireplace anchors the space. On rainy November afternoons, and there will be rainy November afternoons in Limburg, that fireplace earns its place. The room gets light from generous windows that look out toward the square; you catch the weekly market stalls being set up on Friday evenings, the brass band rehearsing in the community hall across the way in spring. There's a particular pleasure in being at the center of a village's small, relia ... click here to read more

Step inside on a quiet Tuesday morning in Vliermaalroot and the first thing you notice is the light. Southwest-facing windows pull the sun deep into the living room from mid-morning until the last gold slips behind the Haspengouw farmland in the evening. Old Beerse brick on the facade, blue stone detailing at the threshold, solid oak underfoot — this is a house built the way Flemish craftsmen used to build them, except the boiler room holds a heat pump and 8 kWp of solar panels are quietly generating more electricity than a family of five will ever use. This is what makes this 310-square-meter pastorijwoning in Kortessem so compelling as a Belgian second home or vacation property: it carries the visual weight and presence of a classic Flemish manor house while running on near-zero energy, with an E-peil score under 20. That kind of combination is genuinely rare in this price bracket. The house sits on Bornstraat 17a in the hamlet of Vliermaalroot, which is technically part of the wider Kortessem municipality — but locals will tell you it feels like a village unto itself. Slow. Green. The kind of place where the school is 500 meters away on foot and the pharmacy is the same distance in the other direction. There are no traffic lights. There is, however, a cycling route that loops out through the fruit orchards of Haspengouw — one of Belgium's most productive agricultural regions, famous for its apple and pear blossoms in April, when the whole landscape turns white and the roadside farm stalls start selling freshly pressed juice. Six bedrooms across three floors gives the property a flexibility that's hard to find in new-build stock. The ground floor sets the tone: a wide entrance hall opens to a versatile room that wor ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in Neeroeteren, the only sounds drifting through the kitchen window are the distant low of cattle in the rear meadow and the soft hiss of an espresso machine. That's the pace of life here. No traffic. No noise. Just open Belgian countryside stretching out behind a 450-square-metre house that genuinely has everything — and then some. Drievekkenweg 70 sits on a 1,175-square-metre plot at the edge of Neeroeteren, a village that most people outside Belgian Limburg couldn't point to on a map. That's part of the appeal. This is the region where the Maas river curves lazily through farmland and heath, where cycling routes like the famous Fietsknooppunt network fan out in every direction, and where weekends move at a rhythm that cities have completely forgotten how to do. The house itself was built in 2007, kept in genuinely good condition, and carries a B energy rating — rare for a property with this much indoor volume. Walk through the front door and the entrance hall sets the tone immediately. White-lacquered doors with matte black hardware, stone carpet underfoot — not the scratchy kind, the polished, low-maintenance kind that actually stays looking good five years in. The ground floor opens into a living area that doesn't feel like it was designed to impress visitors for thirty seconds before they start noticing the flaws. This room works. Oversized windows pull in the meadow views. A gas fireplace from Faber anchors the space in winter. The kitchen — fully equipped with Siemens appliances and an Italian granite island — has a breakfast bar on one side and enough counter run to cook a proper Sunday roast without anyone getting in each other's way. Off the kitchen, a utility room handles the lau ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. The automatic gate swings open, the gravel crunches underfoot, and from somewhere behind the stables you can already hear the low sound of the Maas valley countryside waking up — birds, wind through the pasture, total quiet beyond that. This is Langstraat 86, and it doesn't feel like a second home. It feels like the life you kept pushing off until later. Sitting on a generous 6,760 square metre plot in the village of Elen — part of Dilsen-Stokkem in the Belgian province of Limburg — this detached three-bedroom house with two stables and dual pastures is a rare find on the European second home market. Properties like this, where you get genuine rural scale, equestrian infrastructure, and a house that's already been modernised, simply don't come around often at this price point. At 555,000 euros for 115 square metres of living space plus all the land, it sits in a different category from the holiday villas you'll see advertised for twice as much further south. The house itself was built in 1958 and carries the bones of that era — solid concrete intermediate floors, thick walls, a structure built to last. But between 2005 and 2015, it got a proper overhaul: cavity wall insulation, new PVC double-glazed windows throughout, updated bathrooms, a redesigned kitchen with granite countertops and induction cooking, a new gas central heating boiler, and a freshly painted and coated exterior. The result is a home that holds its character while actually being comfortable to live in. No draughty windows. No outdated plumbing surprises. Step inside through the entrance hall — tiled floors, clean lines — and the living room opens up with light. Large windows face the garden and meadow, and in winter the wood-burning ... click here to read more

The second bathroom serves the household with both bathtub and separate shower, reflecting the Belgian appreciation for quality fixtures and thoughtful layouts.

Saturday morning in Meerle moves at its own pace. The bakery on the village square opens early, the smell of fresh bread drifting down Heimeulenstraat before most of the street has stirred. You slide open the large garden doors off the kitchen, coffee in hand, and the lawn is still wet from the night. Six bedrooms. Four bathrooms. A kitchen island big enough for a proper family breakfast. This is the kind of house that earns its keep every single weekend. Meerle sits at the northern tip of the Kempen region in the Belgian province of Antwerp, tucked right against the Dutch border and surrounded by the flat, forested landscape that defines this quiet corner of Flanders. It belongs administratively to Hoogstraten, a market town about ten minutes' drive south where the Gothic Sint-Katharinakerk dominates a square lined with café terraces. The area draws people who want countryside without isolation — Breda is 25 kilometres north, Antwerp under an hour south on the E19. Eindhoven airport and Brussels Airport both sit within comfortable driving range, which matters enormously for international buyers treating this as a second home in Belgium or a base for extended stays. The house itself stands on Heimeulenstraat in a low-traffic residential street. Originally built in 1980, it has been comprehensively renovated — not the kind of cosmetic refresh that hides problems behind fresh paint, but a genuine overhaul that touches the electrical installation, glazing, energy systems, and finishes throughout. The EPC label B rating is the honest proof of that. The heating runs on a gas HR++ system with high-efficiency glazing across the entire house, which keeps running costs sensible even through the grey Belgian winters.

Step outside on a Saturday morning in Meerle and the first thing you notice is the silence—not the heavy, empty kind, but the alive kind. Birds in the tree line behind the garden, a light wind moving through the mature oaks, and nothing else. No traffic noise, no urban hum. Just the particular quiet that only comes when a house sits at the edge of a forest on a generous plot of land, with no immediate neighbors rushing past. This is Lage Rooy, a small residential lane in one of Belgium's most underrated rural corners, and this three-bedroom bungalow has been making that morning possible for its owners for years. The plot alone—roughly 1,054 square metres—sets the tone for everything else. The rear garden is a proper park-like space: a stone terrace that catches afternoon sun, a wide lawn rolling toward mature trees and ornamental borders, a gazebo for evenings when the light goes golden, a pond that draws dragonflies in summer, and a wooden storage shed tucked neatly out of sight. The house wraps around this garden on two sides, so the sense of being inside a green envelope is constant. Multiple sets of doors open directly onto it from the living room, the dining room, and the master bedroom, which means the garden isn't just something you look at—it's somewhere you actually live. Inside, the footprint is 217 square metres across two floors, organized with real intelligence around the ground-floor master suite. That bedroom, roughly 15.5 square metres, opens via French doors onto the rear garden and connects directly to a dedicated walk-in closet of about 7.5 square metres with fitted wardrobes. The en-suite bathroom—around 9 square metres—has a walk-in shower with a glass partition, a full bathtub, a vanity unit, and ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning, coffee in hand, and the only sounds reaching you are wood pigeons in the old oaks and the faint rustle of wind crossing open fields toward the Dutch border. That's Schuivenoord 2. It's the kind of quiet that city dwellers spend years chasing, and here it's simply the default setting. Meerle sits in the northern tip of the Belgian province of Antwerp, tucked into the Noorderkempen — a region of heathland, river valleys, and working farms that feels genuinely unhurried. The village itself is small enough to know the baker's name but connected enough to reach Breda's Grote Markt or Antwerp's Meir shopping street in under an hour. For buyers seeking a substantial second home in Belgium that genuinely delivers on both space and serenity, this is about as good as it gets. The villa was built in 1971 but underwent a full renovation in 2016, and it shows. The bones are solid — think generous ceiling heights, exposed timber beams in the main living area, and a floor plan that spreads across 546 square metres without feeling labyrinthine. The renovation brought everything up to contemporary spec: energy label B, central heating with partial underfloor heating, and fittings chosen for longevity rather than trend. Walk through the front gate — electric, with plenty of room for several cars along the private driveway — and the house announces itself through its garden rather than its facade. Five thousand, seven hundred and twenty-five square metres of it. Mature trees frame long views across the lawn, espalier fruit trees line one wall, and multiple terraces give you options depending on where the afternoon sun lands. There's a covered seating area for the kind of Belgian summer evenings that st ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in Meerle, the only sound you'll hear from the bedroom window is birdsong cutting through a landscape so green and unhurried it barely feels real. No traffic noise. No neighbours peering over the fence. Just open Kempen sky and a garden that stretches far enough to make you forget the outside world entirely. This is what €1,995,000 buys you on Chaamseweg 75 — not just a house, but a genuine private estate where space, silence, and craftsmanship all land in the same address. The villa itself was completed in 2007 by Vlassak-Verhulst, the Antwerp-based builder whose name in Belgian real estate circles carries real weight. Their signature is recognisable the moment the automatic gate rolls back: characteristic cross-bond brickwork laid in the old Flemish farmhouse tradition, Belgian blue stone detailing at the thresholds and window sills, and Boom roof tiles that age into a deeper reddish-brown with every passing decade. This isn't a style borrowed from a catalogue — it's a direct architectural reference to the authentic Kempisch hoeve, the working farmhouses that dotted this border country for centuries, reinterpreted with contemporary precision. From the street, the property carries a quiet authority. Inside, the 530 square metres of living space feel generous without being cavernous. The layout was clearly designed by people who thought about how a family actually moves through a home — wide corridors, rooms that flow from one to the next without awkward corridors or dead ends, and large windows on every elevation that pull the garden in visually. Morning light comes through the east-facing rooms strong and warm; by afternoon the terraced areas catch the southern sun long enough to make outdo ... click here to read more

Step through the gate on Chaamseweg on a Saturday morning in late spring, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the silence of isolation — the silence of land. Twenty thousand square metres of it, rolling out in every direction in shades of green that shift with the light. Somewhere near the animal meadow, a donkey ambles along the fence. The smell of cut grass drifts through the open kitchen window. This is Meerle, and it gets under your skin fast. Set in the Flemish Kempen countryside just a stone's throw from the Dutch border, this four-bedroom detached villa on Chaamseweg 79 is the kind of property that makes you reconsider what a second home can actually be. At 536 square metres of living space — and with a substantial 380m² multifunctional outbuilding that locals know affectionately as 't Schuurke — this isn't a weekend bolt-hole. It's a proper estate, the sort of place you buy and never quite want to leave. The approach alone sets the tone. A long, sweeping driveway frames the house before you even reach the front door, flanked by mature hedgerows that deliver genuine privacy from the road. Inside the main villa, the entrance hall has that grounded, unhurried quality you find in houses built with care: original brick floor tiles underfoot, sleek plastered walls, and a cloakroom niche tucked neatly to one side. It tells you immediately that the people who kept this house took pride in it. The living room — roughly 38 square metres — has a bay window looking out over the rear garden and an open fireplace that makes winter weekends here feel genuinely restorative. This flows naturally into a study with windows on three sides, the kind of room where you could actually get work done or lose an afternoon ... click here to read more
