Description

Cycling along the Scheldt to Oudenaarde, the route of the cycling classics, hiking through the Flemish Ardennes and fine dining - from basic and sympathetic to gastronomic and classic, including at ‘t Bakkershof in the street. Tasty local greens from the Oesterzwamboerderij or green asparagus from Het Zonneveld. Plenty of nature at 20 minutes from Ghent, ideal.

Architectenbureau De Witte, Claeys en Partners delivered a fine example of open architecture with this energy-efficient villa: super comfortable, energy-efficient and spacious living thanks to the large windows, open staircase, EPC B and heating with a heat pump. ‘Bright’ really is an understatement here, too.

Entrance hall, guest toilet, cloakroom. In the living room, the high, continuous ceiling adds to the feeling of space, the built-in cupboards keep things tidy and the ecological Finoven provides cosy warmth in the colder months. Adjacent is the study with a view of the delightful swimming pond and birds - there are worse places to work... A few steps up to the cosy dining room with adjacent modern kitchen with large island and stainless steel worktop. Separate kitchen pantry. Large cellar (+125m2), 2 indoor garages, wine cellar and lots of storage space.

Everywhere you look here, you see green, green and more green, even from the cleverly placed bath in the first bathroom, en suite to the master bedroom. Furthermore, you will find 3 spacious bedrooms, divided by closet walls, and the second bathroom with shower.

Driving down the narrow street to Makkegem, you find yourself in another world.
The owners,

owner speaks out

Not only us, but also our architect will certainly have special memories of this property. On first visits to the construction site, it was always a bit of a nervous search to slow down in time and find the narrow street that led to Makkegem. But once you have wriggled yourself through the narrow passage you enter, dixit our architect, ‘another world’. Countless times, after a busy working day or hopeless traffic jam, I have thought how much truth there is in that remark.

I myself keep the warmest memories of my office, with blissful pond view. While working, I was regularly distracted by the birds bathing in the splashing water. What curious behaviour! And then those surprising splashes of colour.... Anyone who thinks our nature is banal and grey, I wish an hour at our swimming pond, in the company of our green woodpecker and jay, the puffed-up pheasant rooster and even the flashy, turquoise kingfisher. If you are looking for a sun-drenched ‘sunroom’, this is the place to be. The different colours of light throughout the day, the play of the seasons... Everything seeps in beautifully here. Moreover, the open, unobstructed view of greenery provides a calming sense of freedom. Permanent holiday atmosphere!
