Description

Tucked away in a quiet, car-free lane on the edge of the Zoerselbos, close to the idyllic Emmapadje – a beautiful ‘Slow Road’ in the heart of the Groene Schijn Valley between Halle and Zoersel – lies this ecologically designed villa, built by architect Dirk Wauters. Within cycling distance of the village, with excellent links to the motorways towards Antwerp and Limburg.

Through the light-filled entrance hall, with a staircase leading to the first floor, you reach the second hallway with doors to the garage, utility room, kitchen and living room. Be blown away by the stunning garden view from the living room and dining area, where one wall consists entirely of floor-to-ceiling windows. The informal dining area, adjacent to the fully fitted kitchen, can be shielded from the sun with large, light-filtering sliding doors. This stunning space has the feel of a modern orangery. Also on the ground floor: a practical laundry room, the first spacious bedroom with a dressing room and a bathroom featuring a bath, shower and double washbasin.

On the first floor: three further bedrooms, a second bathroom and a cosy terrace with fantastic views of the surrounding area. This floor could potentially be converted into a separate studio – all the necessary provisions for an additional kitchen and living space have already been made.

A wonderful bonus: a casita or annexe with numerous possibilities for a practice, studio, co-housing, office or workshop space. The entire plot covers 7,300 m², featuring a beautiful landscaped garden by Geert Meysmans and a private patch of woodland – a natural retreat, entirely for your own enjoyment.

owner speaks out

Our parents built this house shortly after they retired. It became the ultimate distillation of all their knowledge and passions throughout their lives. Every detail in the construction and interior design process was considered with care and an eye for detail and aesthetics. The house exudes timeless simplicity and strength, qualities they held in high regard in their lives. And despite its very modern appearance, it blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings.

It is a place of tranquillity and warm hospitality. Where grandchildren romp about, where summer evenings are filled with the laughter of friends, where the washing flutters in the breeze, and where the silence of nature brings peace, clarity and inspiration for life time and again.

What you will see and feel is a love for refined architecture, space, light and solid materials. A natural connection between nature and indoor life, and vice versa, which is consistently reflected in the choice of ecological techniques. A clever layout that allows for various forms of communal living. A sense of security that is nonetheless very spacious.

There is an ‘easiness’ about this house, as if life here is simpler; every room, every view outwards, wherever you are, is a delight.
