This unique 17th-century estate, known as the Latoenehoeve, is located at Kaaslei 2 in the tranquil community of Putte. Set on a sprawling 1.0335-hectare plot, this property is distinguished by its moat and stately gatehouse. Historically known as the Hof van Waesbeeck, the farm exudes a noble charm, having been owned by descendants of the renowned Antwerp painter Pieter Paul Rubens. The estate's rich history is reflected in features such as the medieval moat and welcoming linden trees that flank the entrance. It's a rare find that offers both historical significance and a serene rural setting. The main residence boasts an impressive total floor area of approximately 500 square meters. Inside, you’ll find a grand entrance hall leading to an expansive living space of 95 square meters, complemented by a kitchen with a breakfast nook and a storage/technical room. The home currently features two bedrooms, two additional rooms, and three original fireplaces dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. The first floor offers potential for further development, with possibilities for additional bedrooms, a dressing room, a bathroom, and extra storage space. The property includes two sizable outbuildings measuring approximately 300 and 320 square meters respectively. While the estate is listed in the inventory of immovable heritage under ID 2724, it is not protected as a monument, allowing for flexibility with renovations. However, due to its significant heritage value, there is an option to apply for classification as a monument, which could potentially provide subsidies for further renovation. The estate is sold as-is, with an environmental permit for renovation granted on October 14, 2019. The property is designated as agricultural land and does not lie within a subdivision or flood risk zone.
