Description

In Retranchement, just across the border in the Netherlands, you are right in the middle of nature and the Polder landscape: walking on the ramparts, jogging or cycling on the dyke or to the beautiful beach of Zeeland. You can also reach Sluis, Cadzand-Bad, Het Zwin and Knokke in no time from this rustic village. You will find the tastiest mussels at de Zeemeeuw in Cadzand-Bad, steak at restaurant Grenzeloos. Want something more? Then there is Pure C by Sergio Herman (2 Michelin stars).

The Truzenhofje, currently a sought-after holiday home (superhost on Airbnb!), has a facade no less than 13 metres wide - stylish black barn included. By bike, you enter through the side, where you are immediately welcomed by the beautiful, deep garden. A green paradise for children and adults alike: play football or kubben while lighting the BBQ while enjoying an aperitif - ideal.

Through the beautiful entrance hall with beautiful, still original tiles, you enter the cosy living room on the street side (with separate, authentic dining and sitting area). Behind it is the kitchen where you overlook the terrace and the giga garden. Cutting greens with a view of greenery? Check. Also on the ground floor are 2 bedrooms and bathroom, including 1 cosy children's bedroom and 1 double bedroom. Both the kitchen and bathroom were very recently renovated (2020). The 1st floor consists of 1 large, super-charming attic room, now an XL bedroom with washbasin. The large, adjoining barn still offers a lot of potential (now storage space and bike storage).

Idyllically located and extremely charming sea cottage with all the Zeeland troeven at your fingertips - an excellent opportunity as a second residence or Airbnb.

owner speaks out

Of course we spend as much time as possible outside here, and most of all we love sitting in the great garden. Breakfast and aperitifs in the cosy alcove in the living room are also among our favourites. If we don't feel like cooking, we go to Grenzeloos for a nice dinner. Almost every time, we do the Red Light District route. On the way back, we then pick up fresh vegetables and bread from the farmer behind the corner. Really a great troeven to have everything so close at hand.
