Alright, thanks for getting in touch. I’m currently juggling quite a few clients (the property market in this area gets busy, especially among overseas buyers!), so apologies if this is a bit rushed, but let me give you a clear, honest picture of this bungalow at Withuisstraat 34, 3790 Voeren, Belgium.

The area around Moelingen, where the property sits, is really beautiful – you get those rolling hills, loads of green countryside, small picturesque villages all scattered around. Lots of people who move here are drawn by the combination of rural peace and easy access to urban life.
