Villa with garden pavilion and building plot

Located in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes, you will discover this beautiful villa with an extensive garden plot. This unique artist's residence is truly a rarity. The spacious garden plot offers the possibility of dividing a portion into a building plot. This makes it ideal for various purposes, such as a kangaroo home, a second residential unit, or, for example, a space for an art collection, practice, or office. The 7,080 m² property houses several buildings. The main residence is situated at the front right of the plot, while at the back, an elegant garden pavilion designed by Vers.A Architects is located. Additionally, there are a greenhouse, garden shed, bike storage, and a sauna, also designed by Vers.A, completing the ensemble. The garden itself is a true discovery: an organic vegetable garden, a swimming pond, and a flower meadow with various fruit trees, including mulberry, apple, and walnut trees, are just a few of the many highlights. The greenhouse grows grapes, adding to the unique charm of this place. The main house, built in 1938 by architect Ch. Gauquie and named Clairbois, offers all the necessary amenities. With five bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room, there is ample space. A climate-controlled wine cellar, garage, and laundry room are located underground. In the living area, a special greenhouse was installed at the time for growing orchids, complete with its own heating system. An artist once resided in the house, and his murals, which have been excellently preserved, give the home a distinctive, artistic flair. Approximately 15 years ago, the current owners completely renovated the kitchen, bathroom, and dressing room through Sofie Meersseman, who was trained by Vincent Van Duysen among others. These updates complement the original architecture and provide contemporary comfort. The garden pavilion, completed in 2015, was originally designed to house an art collection. This outbuilding is also equipped with a kitchen and sanitary facilities, making it perfect as a guest accommodation, retreat, studio, or workspace. The kitchen is equipped with professional appliances, including a Gaggenau induction cooktop, grill, teppanyaki, dishwasher, combi-steam oven, cooling drawer, plate warmer, microwave, and vacuum machine. The living area features a fireplace and an integrated projection screen, ideal for cozy evenings. Large glass panels with sliding doors ensure a pleasant stay here, both in summer and winter. The soapstone wood fire seamlessly connects the indoor and outdoor spaces. This property, with all its unique features, is a true gem in the Flemish Ardennes. Will this be your new home?
