Description

Welcome to the scenic and serene Meersel-Dreef, home to an exquisite villa located at Meersel 30 C in Belgium. This unique property offers an incredible opportunity for those looking to invest in a spacious residence, whether for a family home or as a luxurious retreat.

As you approach this villa, you will find it nestled in a peaceful village surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle flow of the River De Mark. Additionally, Meersel-Dreef’s strategic location allows for convenient access to major cities such as Breda (Netherlands) and Hoogstraten (Belgium) within a short 10-minute drive. These cities provide excellent opportunities for cultural excursions, shopping, and dining, while your villa remains a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.

Let's begin our journey through this eight-bedroom, three-bathroom property. The villa epitomizes comfort and space with its well-maintained interiors and generous floor plan. Allow me to give you a detailed look into what awaits inside.

Entering the ground floor, you are greeted by a stately entrance hall graced with marble flooring, hinting at the home's timeless appeal. The hall also leads to a floating staircase, an architectural feature that invokes the possibility of elegance and charm without overly stating it. Adjacent to the hall is a convenient toilet room with necessary modern fixtures.

The master bedroom on this level offers the perfect retreat with an en-suite bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, bathtub, and sophisticated fixtures that welcome you at the end of a long day. The spacious living room is a fabulous setting for gatherings, boasting an oak floor and a gas fireplace for cozy winter nights. Large French doors lead to the garden, bathing the room in natural light and providing access to outdoor leisure.

The kitchen is a practical space fitted with modern conveniences including an induction hob, a dishwasher, and a fridge, easily accommodating the needs of a busy lifestyle. The adjacent cellar provides additional storage, featuring utilities and access to the conservatory.

The conservatory itself invites you to relax with a book in hand or enjoy quiet afternoons with family. A sliding door from here leads you into the generously sized garden, an ideal setting for summer barbecues or simply enjoying the morning sun.

The villa's thoughtful design continues to the first floor where the landing opens up to several rooms including further bedrooms with varied dimensions and features such as fixed cupboards and additional windows. The floor also includes essential utilities and plumbing fixtures to ensure day-to-day practicality.

Above, the second floor comprises a spacious attic, offering ample storage options to meet all your needs.

One of the villa's key features is its sprawling garden, which faces southeast for optimal sunlight exposure. Whether gardening is your hobby or you enjoy hosting outdoor get-togethers, this space will surely meet your needs. Complementing the garden is a detached garage fit for housing multiple vehicles and equipped with modern amenities.

Living in Meersel-Dreef offers more than just a beautiful home; it promises a lifestyle enriched by nature and community. The local climate is generally mild, with warm summers perfect for exploring the outdoors and engaging in a variety of activities. From hiking in nearby forests to picnicking along the riverbanks, there's always something to do.

As a resident, you'll become part of a welcoming community where local events and markets allow you to engage with neighbors, forging friendships that span across borders. The villa, thus located, presents not just a residence but a preferred lifestyle.

For those interested in joining this vibrant community, understanding the nuances of purchasing property in Belgium is key. Buyers should note the financial specifics unique to the region, including transfer taxes, notary fees, and the non-existence of a cooling-off period after signing agreements. Aligning finances and securing a mortgage through a local bank is crucial to ensuring a smooth transition into this international venture.

In conclusion, this villa offers a rare blend of spacious living, local charm, and international connectivity. Here, you can build a haven, entertain, and relish in the serene landscape, all while being part of a worldwide network of tranquil luxury. As a busy agent, I've personally seen the transformative potential of this beautiful home, and cannot wait to guide you in making it your own.

Saturday morning, and the only sound is birdsong threading through the open bedroom window. No traffic hum, no city noise — just the low rustle of a southwest breeze moving through the garden hedgerow and the distant clang of a church bell from the old Sint-Petrus church in Ravels village. You came here for exactly this. And somehow, it's even quieter than you imagined. De Buskens 13 sits in one of the most sought-after residential pockets of Ravels-Eel, a corner of the Belgian Campine region that manages to feel genuinely off the beaten track while staying remarkably well-connected. The Dutch border is barely five minutes by car. Antwerp is about an hour. Eindhoven — with its international airport — sits comfortably within reach for European weekenders flying in. Yet when you're standing in this garden on a Tuesday afternoon, the rest of the world feels optional. Built in 2010, the villa covers 347 square metres across three well-considered floors, and the thing that strikes you on a first walk-through is how thoughtfully it all flows. Nothing feels squeezed or tacked on. The entrance hall sets a composed, unhurried tone — there's a guest toilet immediately off it, a detail that sounds minor until the tenth dinner party when you're grateful for it. The main living space opens generously off the hall, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that becomes the undisputed centrepiece from October through March. Pull the chairs close, light it, and the room transforms completely. In summer, the same room breathes outward toward the dining area and into the garden beyond, the southwest orientation meaning light pours through well into the evening. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern built-in appliances and includes a break ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Rijkevorsel, the light comes in sideways through the kitchen's wide garden-facing windows. Coffee is already brewing — the built-in machine handles that — and outside, dew is still sitting on the grass of the fully fenced rear garden. No neighbors in the sightline. Just open Flemish countryside rolling out behind the terrace. This is the pace this villa runs at, and once you've spent a weekend here, it's hard to argue with it. Sint-Lenaartsesteenweg 80 sits on a 1,389 square meter plot in the heart of the Kempen region, one of Belgium's most underrated pockets of calm. The house itself is 267 square meters — a substantial four-bedroom villa that has been thoroughly renovated without losing the bones that gave it character in the first place. The wrought-iron interior door that separates the entrance hall from the main living area? That stayed. The oak parquet floors throughout the ground floor? Those stayed too. What changed is everything you don't see at first: the insulation, the systems, the kitchen, the bathrooms — all brought squarely into the present. The living room revolves around a gas fireplace that earns its keep from October through March, when the Kempen afternoons turn grey and the garden takes on that particular Belgian stillness. The room is generous enough for a proper sofa arrangement without feeling cavernous, and it flows directly into the kitchen — the real centerpiece of this house. The island is the kind you actually gather around. Appliances include a cooktop with an integrated extractor, a steam oven alongside a conventional oven, a built-in coffee machine, a warming drawer, a vacuum drawer, and a dishwasher. Everything is built in, everything is considered. Whoever desig ... click here to read more

Early on a weekday morning, the only sound you'll catch from the kitchen at Jagersdreef 7 is birdsong. Not the vague, generic kind — woodpeckers working the oaks at the edge of the garden, the occasional rustle of a deer moving through the reserve that begins literally where the grass ends. There are no through roads here, no delivery trucks, no neighbours' engines warming up. Just a 325-square-metre villa sitting on 3,302 square metres of private land in one of Flemish Brabant's most quietly coveted pockets, where the Lichtaart heathlands fade into the residential fringe of Herentals. This is the kind of property that takes a while to fully understand. It doesn't announce itself loudly. Pull up the private driveway — long enough to park several cars well off the road — and what you notice first is the sense of proportion. The gabled roofline, the mature trees framing the facade, the way the building sits back from the lane as if it has nothing to prove. The 2023 renovation was thorough without being aggressive: original exposed beams were kept, the fireplace in the living room still draws the eye when you walk in, but the kitchen is fully modern, the bathroom is genuinely spa-quality with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, and solar panels on the roof mean running costs stay honest. Inside, the layout flows logically rather than fashionably. The entrance hall has a proper cloakroom — something that disappears in properties with more focus on staging than living — plus a guest toilet before you've even reached the main rooms. The kitchen is set up for people who actually cook: good storage, modern appliances, a layout that keeps the chef in the conversation rather than buried in a corner. It opens onto the living roo ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Grote Heide sounds like this: a wood pigeon calling from somewhere deep in the oak canopy, the faint crackle of a wood-burning fire coming back to life, and absolutely nothing else. No traffic. No sirens. Just the kind of quiet that reminds you why you wanted a second home in the Belgian countryside in the first place. Vinkendreef 4 sits in one of Pelt's most coveted villa districts — a wooded pocket of north-east Belgium where the plots are generous, the neighbours invisible behind mature hedgerows, and the pace of life runs at a completely different frequency from Brussels or Amsterdam or wherever you're escaping from. This is a proper house. 280 square metres of it, on a landscaped plot of 3,551 m² — more than a third of a hectare — with a south-facing garden that gets the sun from breakfast until the last glass of evening wine. Walk through the entrance hall and the first thing you notice is how much light there is. Large windows pull the garden inside, and the living room feels less like a room and more like a viewing platform onto all that green. The wood-burning fireplace anchors the space on cooler evenings — and in the Belgian Kempen, autumn comes early and beautifully, the birch trees outside turning gold while the fire does its work. The kitchen is practical and well-equipped, with direct access to a laundry room and storage area. No awkward layouts, no carrying shopping halfway across the house. It just works. The ground floor gives you two bedrooms — one currently configured as a dressing room, one with an ensuite bathroom that also opens to the hallway — plus a separate office that converts easily to a fifth bedroom if you need it. This kind of flexibility matters. It means multi-gene ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Lommel, with the window above the kitchen breakfast nook cracked open, you catch the faint rustle of pine trees from the Sahara nature reserve a short bike ride away. The smell of fresh coffee fills a kitchen big enough to actually cook in. That's the kind of morning this house was built for. Standing on Pieter Paul Rubensdreef — a tree-lined avenue in one of Lommel's most established villa parks — this five-bedroom home sits on a 1,588-square-metre plot and covers 423 square metres of interior space across two floors, plus a full basement and attic. Built in 1977 with an emphasis on durability over trends, it has aged well. The bones are solid, the materials were chosen to last, and the layout still makes sense for how families actually live. Walk through the front door and the entrance hall does something most modern homes forget to do: it makes you pause. The marble floor catches the light in the afternoon. There's a cloakroom to your right, a guest toilet tucked neatly away, and a dedicated home office just off the hall — genuinely separate from the living areas, which matters more than people expect until they're two years into working from home. The living room and dining room flow naturally from here, both laid with warm parquet that's far easier to love on a grey November day than polished concrete. The open fireplace in the lounge isn't decorative — it's the room's centrepiece, the thing that makes the space feel lived-in and real rather than staged. Five bedrooms give a family real breathing room. Each one has parquet flooring, and there's genuine flexibility here: one space could become a sixth bedroom with minimal effort. The two bathrooms are generously fitted — double sinks, ... click here to read more

Here, where Belgium's warm hospitality meets the Netherlands' dynamic energy, you'll discover a property that transforms weekend getaways into cherished family traditions and holiday gatherings into unforgettable celebrations. Nestled in the charming village of Meer, this 341-square-meter villa represents the ideal European second home for international families who value space, privacy, and strategic location.

Mature landscaping creates natural privacy screens, while multiple terrace areas allow you to follow the sun throughout the day or host gatherings of varying sizes.

Stand at the kitchen window on a Saturday morning and you'll hear nothing except the low wind moving through the fields of Meer and, somewhere further off, the bells of Sint-Katharinakerk drifting in from Hoogstraten's market square. That's the soundtrack this house runs on. No traffic, no neighbors on top of you, just 2,562 square meters of fully enclosed garden rolling out behind a broad-fronted farmhouse that's been quietly anchoring this corner of the Kempen countryside for decades. This is a genuine Belgian long-façade farmhouse on Meerleseweg 47 in Meer — a small village that sits almost exactly on the line between Belgium and the Netherlands, five minutes south of the Dutch border crossing at Zundert. It's a location that repeatedly surprises people. You're forty minutes from Antwerp's old port, an hour from Brussels, and barely thirty minutes from Breda in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant. Yet out here, it genuinely feels like the countryside has kept its deal with you. The house covers 295 square meters and is in good, move-in ready condition. After roughly forty years with the same family, it carries the kind of lived-in solidity that newer builds just don't replicate. The proportions are right. Ceilings feel like ceilings. The 54-square-meter living room — one of the largest on the ground floor of any residential property in this price band in the area — centers on a pellet stove fireplace that turns a rainy October evening into something you'd actually look forward to. The big windows face the garden, and in winter, when the Flemish countryside goes pale and flat, the light that comes through them has a quality painters used to chase. Walk through to the kitchen — a well-configured 17-square-meter corne ... click here to read more

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

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. Inside, 32 ... click here to read more
