Description

On the Brussels-Antwerp axis lies Heindonk: surprisingly rural, yet close to Mechelen. So, you don’t have to choose between city life and nature. With your own private driveway on this dead-end road, peace and quiet are guaranteed, while being near countless walking and cycling trails, the Dijle River, the Zennegat, and the Hazewinkel water sports center.

Since 2014, this country home has been gradually and sustainably renovated with high-quality materials. The custom-made artisanal woodwork, including the stunning interior doors, radiator covers, and parquet floors, was crafted by the late restorer Filip Redant.

The entrance hall features a built-in cloakroom, while the kitchen and guest toilet are laid with authentic church tiles. From one of the two office spaces, you have a breathtaking view of the natural pond. In winter, the wood-burning fireplace crackles beautifully in the living room with its aged oak plank flooring. The open, country-style kitchen allows for unlimited cooking pleasure. Laundry room.

Upstairs, all rooms open onto a beautiful, airy hall: three bedrooms, a dressing room, and a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, shower, toilet, and double sink.

The pièce de résistance is, of course, the garden, featuring many mature trees (summer oaks, sessile oak, weeping willow, serviceberry), stables for two horses, an outdoor riding arena with lighting, and a paddock. The natural pond at the front is a haven for water birds—or the perfect spot for a boat ride from your private jetty. This entire estate, consisting of forest, pond, and farmland, spans an impressive 9,680 m².

Country living, next level.
