Description

This villa for sale in Oud-Turnhout sits on a 2,183 m² southwest-facing plot beside a nature reserve, with an outdoor pool and a full basement. The house is big at 301 m², in good condition, and ready for a new owner's taste. The garden wraps around it, and the plot borders the reserve. The asking price is €649,000.

The Villa: 301 m² and Four Bedrooms



You enter through a spacious hall that opens into an L-shaped living room. It has a parquet floor, an open fireplace and large windows facing the garden, so it stays bright on grey Belgian afternoons. A veranda with sunshades is attached to the living room, a sheltered spot for morning coffee while you look out over the lawn.

The kitchen is closed and fully equipped. It connects to the dining room and has a back door straight onto the terrace. Three bedrooms are on the ground floor, together with the bathroom (shower, bath, toilet and washbasin), a separate office and a hobby or storage room. A fixed staircase from the laundry room leads up to the attic, where a fourth bedroom is already finished and heated. The rest of the attic is storage.

Four bedrooms share one bathroom. If you are a larger family, a second bathroom is worth budgeting for.

Full Basement, Garage and Workshop Space



The full basement is the practical backbone of the house. It holds a garage, the technical room and several multipurpose rooms that could become a workshop, fitness room, hobby space or plain storage. A direct door leads to the garden, so tools and garden furniture never have to pass through the living areas.

Garden, Pool and the Nature Reserve Next Door



The garden is landscaped and runs around the whole house. It has an outdoor swimming pool and several garden sheds. Because the plot faces southwest, the terrace and pool catch the afternoon and evening sun. Beyond the boundary lies the nature reserve, which gives you a green outlook and walking trails close to your gate.

If you plan to use the villa as a second home in Belgium, remember that this much garden and a pool need regular care. Budget for a gardener and for winterising the pool when you are away.

Living in Oud-Turnhout and the Kempen



Oud-Turnhout is a residential municipality in the province of Antwerp, right next to the city of Turnhout. Turnhout is where you go for larger supermarkets, restaurants, the Grote Markt and the train station. Closer to the villa, schools, shops and public transport are within easy reach.

The surrounding Kempen region is known for pine woods, heathland and a dense network of signposted cycling routes, which suits a house with a nature reserve at the end of the garden. Antwerp is roughly 45 minutes away by car, depending on traffic. Brussels Airport is around an hour, and Eindhoven Airport across the Dutch border is also about an hour. For anyone looking for a house for sale in Antwerp province with room to spread out, this is a quiet and well-connected corner of Belgium real estate.

Energy Label E and Buying in Belgium



The EPC label is E, at 406 kWh/m² per year. The Flemish renovation obligation applies, so the buyer must bring the home up to at least label D within six years of purchase. Heating comes from a natural gas boiler renewed about six years ago, with radiators and convectors. The aluminium window frames have a mix of single and double glazing, which makes glazing an obvious first item to price.

Ask a contractor or energy auditor for a realistic quote before you make an offer. A Belgian notary handles the purchase deed and can confirm the registration duties for your situation.

This villa for sale in Lanaken sits on a 1,250 m² plot in Smeermaas, a few minutes from Maastricht, and is ready to move into. Built in 1968 and substantially renovated in 2021, the house has 222 m² of living space, four bedrooms and a garden screened by beech hedges. Smeermaas lies right on the Dutch border, so the centre of Maastricht is a short drive away while your own street stays quiet and green. ### The House: 222 m² Over Three Levels The ground floor is organised around a large living room with room for both a sofa area and a full dining table. Wide windows face the garden, and a wood-burning stove gives the room its winter focus. The kitchen next door has a natural stone worktop, an induction hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, an oven and a combination oven. It looks onto the garden and opens straight to the terrace, so breakfast outside needs no planning. A laundry room and a separate office complete the ground floor. The office is a real room with a door, which matters if you work from home. Sun screens are fitted on both floors. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with air conditioning and big windows over the garden. The bathroom was renovated in 2022 and has a bath, a shower, a washbasin, a toilet and a bidet. There is also an extra room that works as a study, hobby space or additional bedroom. A fixed staircase from that room leads to the attic, which is already set up as the fourth bedroom. A basement storage area keeps tools, garden equipment and the technical installations out of the living space. ### Garden and Terraces on 1,250 m² The plot is large by the standards of this area, and the planting does the work of privacy: beech hedges, mature trees and mixed borders gi ... click here to read more

This detached villa for sale in Ravels sits on a 1,350 m² southwest-facing plot, with a 120 m² upper floor and a drive-in basement. Built in 1972, it has 370 m² of living space, three bedrooms and open meadows behind the garden. It suits a family that wants room for work, hobbies and guests, and the asking price is €585,000. ### The Villa: 370 m² With 1970s Character The entrance hall leads into a living room with parquet flooring and a fireplace. Large windows face the front garden and the quiet street. The dining room sits in the middle of the ground floor and links the lounge to the kitchen, so the whole level reads as one connected space. The kitchen has a generous worktop, a breakfast nook and all the appliances. From the dining area you look straight out over the garden. The night hall gives access to three full-size bedrooms. Two have custom-built wardrobes, and all three overlook the rear garden, so you wake up to daylight and greenery. The main bathroom has a bathtub and custom cabinetry. A separate shower room and an extra toilet in the hall take the pressure off busy mornings. The house dates from 1972 and the period shows in the details: oak floors, distinctive brickwork and a layout drawn up by the original owner. The condition is good, and the style is unmistakably 1970s. Whether you keep it or update it room by room is your call. ### Upper Floor and Basement: Room to Grow The upper floor is the surprise. It measures about 120 m² and has views in every direction over the surrounding fields. It is currently open to your plans: a studio, a home office, a hobby room or extra bedrooms would all work. Water supply and drainage are already in place, so adding a bathroom up here would be straightforward. Th ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. The kitchen window is cracked open, and the only sounds are wood pigeons somewhere deep in the beech hedge and the faint creak of the veranda door catching the breeze. No traffic. No neighbors peering over the fence. Just 4,335 square meters of park garden stretching back toward open meadows, and the particular quiet that only comes when you're far enough from everything to actually exhale. That's Olmsebaan 204. And once you've stood in that garden, it's hard to imagine being anywhere else. This four-bedroom villa in Meerhout, in the green heart of the Campine region of Antwerp Province, sits on one of those rare plots where the garden doesn't end — it just becomes the countryside. A side gate opens directly onto the meadows behind, and there's no fence, no wall, no development blocking the view to the horizon. The mature tree embankment at the rear gives you total privacy from behind, while the south-facing orientation means the garden holds the sun from mid-morning until the last light of the evening. In June, that's a very long time. The villa itself was built in 1979, and you can feel the confidence of that era in the structure — solid, wide, set well back from the road behind a private driveway with an automatic gate. But the interiors have been carefully modernized over the years, and what you get now is something better than either original or contemporary alone. The oak woodwork that runs through the ground floor has been whitewashed to a pale, almost Scandinavian finish. Large windows — and there are a lot of them — pull the garden inside in a way that makes the 279 square meters of living space feel even more generous than it already is. Come in through the entrance hall, with its gallery ... click here to read more

On a still Sunday morning, the only sound you'll hear from the south-facing terrace of Baversstraat 261 is birdsong and the occasional distant church bell drifting in from Tongeren's medieval center, about ten minutes down the road. The garden stretches out ahead of you — nearly 3,700 square meters of it — with no rooftops visible on the horizon, no developer's crane in the distance, just open Flemish countryside rolling away under a wide Belgian sky. That view isn't going anywhere. The land beyond the plot is protected, meaning what you're looking at now is what you'll be looking at twenty years from now. This is a proper detached villa. Not a semi, not a townhouse with a postage-stamp yard, but a 303-square-meter freestanding home on a genuinely large private plot in one of Belgium's most historically compelling corners. Built in 1969 and kept in good condition throughout the decades, the house has the kind of solid bones you don't find in modern builds — wide rooms, real proportions, a layout designed when space wasn't rationed. Walk inside and the living room immediately makes its case. At nearly 49 square meters, it's the sort of room where a large family doesn't feel crowded, where a crowd of weekend guests can spread out naturally. Light floods in through generous windows that face the garden, so even on a grey Limburg afternoon — and yes, Belgium has those — the interior stays bright and connected to the outside. The kitchen, in warm light oak, runs to over 25 square meters. That's a working kitchen, not a display kitchen. You can actually cook a Sunday stoofvlees in there, with room to spare while someone else uncorks the local Haspengouw wine at the island. The adjacent dining room at 23 square meters keeps e ... click here to read more

Picture a Sunday morning in late April. You're standing at the kitchen window, coffee in hand, watching light move across the southwest-facing garden while the heated pool shimmers in the background. The neighborhood is quiet — the kind of quiet that doesn't feel empty, just genuinely calm. That's Rankenlaan on a weekend morning, and it's one of the reasons people who find this part of Lanaken tend to stay. Lanaken sits in Belgian Limburg, right at the point where Belgium tips into the Netherlands, and the geography here is unlike anywhere else in the country. Within cycling distance of this villa, the Pietersheim estate opens up into meadows, moats, and a children's farm that makes weekend mornings with kids genuinely fun rather than logistically exhausting. The Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen — Belgium's only national park — is close enough that you can be on a heathland trail within twenty minutes, watching purple heather stretch toward the horizon in August or tracking frost patterns on pine bark in January. This is not a region that runs out of things to do outdoors. It just changes what those things look like with each season. The city of Maastricht is barely fifteen minutes by car across the Dutch border. That matters more than it might sound. Maastricht's Vrijthof square hosts some of the most lively Christmas markets in the Benelux region, the André Rieu concerts draw crowds from across Europe every July, and the restaurant scene along the Rechtstraat — think Burgundian Dutch cooking, heavy on slow-braised meats and local cheeses — is worth the short drive any evening. Genk and Maasmechelen are equally accessible via the E314, so everything from retail therapy at Maasmechelen Village to a concert at C-Mine in Genk ... click here to read more

Stand on the upper terrace on a still Tuesday morning and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal is a mirror. Herons pick their way along the bank below. The only sound is the occasional low chug of a barge making its way south toward Maastricht, fifteen kilometers down the road. This is what Gerstenbosweg 14 feels like before the rest of the world wakes up — and that feeling doesn't wear off. Built in 2017 to a high specification, this detached three-bedroom villa in Lanklaar sits in one of the quieter corners of the Belgian-Dutch border region, a pocket of Europe that most international buyers haven't discovered yet. That's changing. The Maas Valley and the Kempen have been quietly drawing cyclists, nature lovers, and weekenders from Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne, and Amsterdam for years, and property prices here still reflect what the region was rather than what it's becoming. At 197 square meters of well-organized living space on a 460-square-meter plot, with an EPC-A energy rating and canal views from the first floor, this is the kind of find that doesn't sit on the market long. The villa is arranged across two levels in a way that actually makes sense for how people live on holiday. All three bedrooms — the master at 18 square meters with direct access to the bathroom, and two further rooms of 13 square meters each — sit on the ground floor, away from the heat of the afternoon sun and the noise of the terrace above. The bathroom has a double washbasin, walk-in shower, and large mirror with drawer storage. There's also a separate guest toilet, which matters more than you'd think once you have a house full of family or friends. The integrated double garage, 41 square meters with an automatic sectional door, utility sink, and til ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in late September. The garden faces south, so even as the season turns, the light falls long and warm across the terrace. The jacuzzi under the gazebo is already warm. Somewhere beyond the treeline, the Hoge Kempen National Park is waking up — Belgium's largest national park, just minutes down the road — and you've got nowhere to be but here. That's the daily reality of owning this detached villa on Dopheidestraat in Dilsen-Stokkem, a three-bedroom property sitting on 722 square metres in one of the most quietly compelling corners of the Belgian-Dutch borderlands. Dilsen-Stokkem doesn't make noise about itself. That's half the appeal. Tucked into the northeastern tip of Belgium's Limburg province, right where the Maas river curves toward the Netherlands, it's the kind of town that rewards people who actually look. The Thursday market in Stokkem brings local farmers selling Limburg asparagus in spring and sweet Elstar apples come October. The Kempisch Restaurant on the edge of town does a slow-cooked paling in 't groen — eel simmered in a sharp green herb sauce — that has nothing to do with the tourist circuit and everything to do with how people actually eat here. Cycling trails from the Fietsroute Kempen & Maasland pass practically at your doorstep, with routes that wind past mining heritage sites, open heathland, and the glittering surface of the Maasplassen lakes just to the northeast. Those lakes are worth knowing about. The Maasplassen — a chain of former gravel extraction pits turned recreation waters — stretch between Dilsen-Stokkem and the Dutch border. In summer, they fill with swimmers, windsurfers, and families with paddleboards. In winter, when the crowds are gone, they t ... click here to read more

Step out onto the master bedroom balcony on a Saturday morning in October, coffee in hand, and watch the mist lift slowly off the meadows that run all the way to the treeline. That view — unbroken, unhurried, nothing but green — is the quiet headline of this property. Everything else is detail. Set on Leeuweriklaan in the prestigious villa district of Aarleheide in Poppel, this 300 m² four-bedroom villa sits on a generous 1,800 m² plot in one of Belgian Kempen's most coveted corners. Ravels municipality has long attracted those who want real countryside without sacrificing proximity to cities — Brussels is under two hours, Antwerp just 60 kilometres south, and the Dutch city of Tilburg is a 20-minute drive across the border. For international buyers looking for a second home in Belgium that genuinely delivers on the "escape" promise, this part of north Antwerp province delivers in ways that the more advertised coastal towns simply can't. The neighbourhood itself sets the tone the moment you turn into the street. Wide plots, mature trees, long driveways. No terrace houses, no apartment blocks. An electric entrance gate opens onto a broad driveway flanked by clipped hedging, and the scale of the property becomes clear immediately. A double garage with newly fitted electric doors and a double carport sit to one side, with a detached shed handling overflow storage — bikes, kayaks, garden tools, whatever life accumulates. Inside, the entrance hall is proper rather than perfunctory: a cloakroom, a guest toilet, and an adjacent flexible room that the current owners use as a home office but could just as easily become a playroom, treatment room, or study depending on who moves in next. The villa has that adaptability built in ... 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

On a quiet Sunday morning in Neerharen, the only sounds coming through the upstairs bedroom window are birdsong and the distant church bells drifting over from Maastricht. The garden below is already dappled with light, and the coffee is on. That's the kind of morning this address delivers — and it does it with almost unfair regularity. Reistraat 74 sits in the Goudkust residential area, one of those neighbourhoods that locals quietly keep to themselves. Tree-lined, unhurried, and genuinely green in a way that most suburban developments promise but rarely deliver. The 708-square-metre plot wraps around the villa with mature lawns, established trees, and a full perimeter fence secured by an electric gate. Children can play outside without supervision anxiety. Adults can eat dinner on the terrace without a neighbour's window staring back at them. Both things matter more than most property descriptions acknowledge. The villa itself is 251 square metres spread over three floors — twelve rooms in total, including three generous bedrooms. A fourth is achievable without significant structural work, which opens up real flexibility for a home office, a guest suite, or a room that changes purpose as the years go by. The renovation that's been carried out here isn't cosmetic. Roof, electrical systems, drainage, windows, doors, both bathrooms, the kitchen, utility room, air conditioning, and central heating have all been replaced or substantially upgraded. The Vaillant eco tec 30kW gas boiler was installed in 2023. Triple glazing and floor-to-ceiling roof insulation give the property an energy label C — solid performance for a home of this scale and era. The building is also certified asbestos-free, which matters to buyers who've ... click here to read more

Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on a sun-drenched southeast-facing terrace, surrounded by 1,000 square meters of private gardens, while planning your day's forest hike through the pine woodlands that stretch for miles beyond your property line. This is daily life at this versatile 363-square-meter villa in Lommel, where the Belgian Kempen region's natural beauty meets contemporary family living. Built in 1989 and meticulously maintained, this home serves families who value both connection to nature and professional functionality, with a dedicated office entrance that seamlessly blends work-from-home requirements with vacation property potential. Lommel's position in northeastern Belgium creates a unique vacation home proposition for international buyers. The town anchors the Bosland region, home to Europe's largest accessible forest network, with over 4,500 hectares of walking and cycling paths literally minutes from your door. Spring brings wildflowers carpeting the forest floor and the return of songbirds to the surrounding pines. Summer means long cycling expeditions through interconnected trails, family picnics by forest lakes, and evening barbecues that stretch past sunset. Autumn transforms the landscape into a tapestry of amber and gold, while winter offers crisp forest walks and cozy fireside evenings in the 50-square-meter living room with its working fireplace. The property's layout anticipates how modern families actually use vacation homes. The ground floor flows naturally from the spacious entrance hall through to the open-plan kitchen equipped with induction cooking, steam oven, and granite work surfaces. Sliding doors connect the living space to a 25-square-meter covered veranda, creating an indo ... click here to read more

For those establishing a European foothold, this location provides practical advantages: Schiphol Airport sits just 90 minutes north, Brussels Airport lies 75 minutes south, and the high-speed rail connections from both Dutch and Belgian stations open direct routes to Paris, London, and beyond. The property's generous 1,489-square-meter grounds immediately distinguish it from typical European vacation homes. 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. The garden layout thoughtfully separates active entertainment zones from tranquil retreat spaces— ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping onto your private terrace on a warm summer evening, the scent of freshly cut hay drifting across endless meadows as you sink into your outdoor jacuzzi with a glass of Belgian Trappist beer. This is the rhythm of life at your vacation home in Essen-Horendonk, where the gentle countryside of Belgium's Kempen region meets modern comfort in a fully renovated 313-square-meter villa that welcomes you with six spacious bedrooms and panoramic rural views that change with every season.

The energy-efficient design achieves an impressive EPC rating of 183 kWh per square meter annually, earning a B-label that translates to lower utility costs during your stays and enhanced appeal to ... click here to read more

Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on a sun-drenched covered terrace, overlooking 1,636 square meters of manicured garden while solar panels silently generate power above you. Beyond your automated security gate, cyclists pedal past on their way to the Achelse Kluis forest trails, and somewhere in the distance, church bells drift across from the Dutch border just two kilometers away. This is the rhythm of life at this 240-square-meter detached villa in Hamont-Achel, where Belgian tranquility meets Dutch accessibility, and where your vacation home becomes a basecamp for exploring two countries from one exceptional property. Imagine the weekend morning when you open the sliding glass doors from your veranda, letting fresh Limburg air sweep through the 32-square-meter living room where a fireplace crackles softly. Your teenagers emerge from their air-conditioned bedrooms upstairs, drawn by the scent of fresh stroopwafels from the bakery you discovered in Valkenswaard last week. Your partner is already in the open-plan kitchen, the morning sun reflecting off granite countertops while they prepare breakfast at the central island. Through the kitchen windows, you watch finches darting between the automatic irrigation system sprinklers, keeping your garden lush without effort. This is the lifestyle this five-bedroom villa enables across four seasons of cross-border European living. The property sits in a tranquil residential pocket of Hamont-Achel, positioned perfectly for families who want the best of Belgian village life with instant access to Dutch urban amenities.

Stand on that south-facing terrace on a Saturday morning in late April—72 square metres of warm stone under your feet, coffee in hand, the tree line of the Kempen forest just beyond the garden wall, and nothing louder than a wood pigeon calling from the pond below. That's the rhythm this house runs on. Not a performance of countryside living, but the real thing, at a scale most buyers stop believing is still available this close to Antwerp. Bosduivenlaan is a quiet lane in Oud-Turnhout that most people outside the province have never heard of. That's precisely the point. The address sits at the literal edge of a forest, on a road where through-traffic is essentially zero, and yet the E34 motorway connecting you to Antwerp's ring road is roughly 25 minutes away. Eindhoven is about the same. Brussels can be reached in under an hour. For a second home, that accessibility matters enormously—you don't want to spend half your weekend in the car. The plot runs to 3,142 square metres, and the rear garden alone measures 49 metres deep. There's a pond. A proper one, with the kind of still-water reflection that makes the garden feel twice its actual size on grey Flemish mornings. The back entrance opens onto a separate section of land—1,421 square metres oriented north, which keeps it genuinely cool during August, the one month Belgian summers actually deliver heat worth mentioning. Inside, the villa was built in 1992 and it shows the confidence of that era—solid construction, gabled roof, high-quality materials that have aged well rather than dated badly. At 366 square metres of living space, it doesn't feel like a house trying to be large. It simply is large. The main living area runs to 126 square metres, with windows front a ... click here to read more
