This farmhouse, built anew between 2003 and 2005, is a splendid example of how modern comforts can blend seamlessly with traditional craftsmanship. It's got a Belgian barn, rich with history dating back to 1880, revitalized for today’s purposes while retaining its original charm. For any history buffs or those with an eye for architecture, this barn is a pinnacle of authentic materials and design that speak of the past but meet the present.

Life in a farmhouse like this is all about the delightful balance between indoors and outdoors. The property rests on a sizable 4,720 m² plot, providing an abundance of space not only for restful living but also for creative endeavors. Imagine planning your day around strolling across the expansive garden, tending to the animal enclosures, or basking in the sun on one of the terraces. The lawn is a perfect playground for children or the ideal spot for hosting friends and family.

Inside, the farmhouse tells its story through its features:

- 3 spacious bedrooms, each showcasing the tranquil picturesque views
- 2 well-appointed bathrooms, fully tiled and conveniently located

The farmhouse doesn’t ask for renovations, as it’s in great condition, but for those with an adventurous spirit in decor or design, there's always room to add personal touches.

Living in a farmhouse also embraces a lifestyle. It means rising with the sun's gentle rays breaking across vast fields, the distant chatter of birds creating a natural soundtrack to your day. Weekends hold promises of leisurely bike rides through the scenic routes, easy access to local markets where fresh produce awaits, and perhaps a visit to nearby Etten-Leur for a cultural fix or shopping spree.

For the city-minded folks with a penchant for quiet, the good news is that St. Willebrord is conveniently connected to major highways, bridging the divide between rustic retreat and vibrant urban. Schools and other facilities are a short drive away, ensuring this location is family-friendly without compromising on accessibility.
