Description

Wonderful piece of greenery in Schelderode-Merelbeke, a 20-minute drive from Ghent. This castle farm is one of a kind. The south-oriented house breathes tranquility and space and is known in the region as ''t Wit Kasteeltje'. Bordering the Makegemse Bossen, with many hiking and biking trails.

To fully grasp the potential of the house, you just have to see this place. The vast view; deer, foxes, pheasants and birds of prey with your morning coffee... You can literally spot the Flemish big five at your kitchen window. Or pick the fruit from your own orchard: pears, apples, apricots, raspberries ... An earthly paradise with a terrace on both sides of the house: blissful spots in the morning, afternoon and evening sun with the only neighbors being the vast fields.

Ready to move in main part with separate entrance hall with staircase; spacious, cozy living room with stately castle fireplaces in bluestone and cozy crackling Jotul stove. Country kitchen with sublime view over fields and garden, with floor in Mexican marble; 2 office rooms; separate bathroom with shower; staircase to the tower room with balcony. On the 1st floor a large, open bedroom with handsome, wooden beams and adjoining bathroom with whirlpool bath, shower and dressing room - instant hotel feeling.

The second part, to be renovated, has a separate entrance on the side, with living room and separate kitchen with garden view. On the 1st floor another bedroom and bathroom, with the possibility of an additional spacious bedroomIn total there are 2 floors, 4 bedrooms, 3 staircases and 3 bathrooms.

In total there is plenty of room for co-housing, kangaroo living, B & B, dividing the property on the same level or making one big house out of it... You can do anything here. Possibility to buy land next to the house (5500m2).

An excellent opportunity for nature lovers for a unique project in a beautiful wooded area, near Ghent.

Living like god in France? We just do that here in Schelderode....
Matthias and Anemoon, the owners,

owner speaks out

Coming home here feels like being on vacation. It was anything but difficult to fall in love with this unique place and unique farmstead. The silence and tranquility of nature, the fine atmosphere among the local residents... It is bliss to just step out the door and take long walks with our baby in the surrounding woods. And picking so many fruits and berries straight from your own orchard, that's totally golden. Living like god in France? We just do that here in Schelderode....
