Discover a unique opportunity to acquire a charming farming site nestled in the picturesque landscape of Herdersem. This property, located at Monnikenhofbaan 4, offers a generous land area of approximately 9,089 square meters, providing ample space for agricultural pursuits, rural living, or future development. Set at the end of a peaceful dead-end street and surrounded by lush greenery, water features, mature trees, and open meadows, this site embodies the tranquility and natural beauty of the Belgian countryside. Its idyllic setting makes it an ideal location for those seeking privacy and immersion in nature, with the added potential for expansion, as the gravel yard can be extended with the adjoining plot of land. The property includes a farmhouse built in 1970 along with a small auxiliary building, while old stables are present but are required to be demolished as part of future plans. While the main residence is currently in need of renovation, it benefits from a clear legal framework that facilitates its transformation into a residential dwelling. A recent development includes an environmental permit issued in October 2025 by the city of Aalst, allowing for a change of use from agricultural to residential purposes. The property enjoys full legal certainty for habitation outside designated heritage zones, thanks to its inclusion in the inventory of historic buildings, which grants exemption from certain renovation obligations. The house's energy score is classified as F, indicating room for improvement in energy efficiency. Notably, the property does not have a certificate for electrical installations yet, highlighting its need for upgrades. All these features collectively make this a promising project for investors or individuals looking to create a private rural retreat in a scenic setting. This land is situated within a landscape-valued agricultural zone, emphasizing its potential for rural development or conservation. Although it currently lacks connections to water, gas, or electricity, its location in a non-flood-prone area ensures safety and stability. The property’s availability is immediate upon signing, presenting an excellent opportunity for those ready to invest in a versatile rural estate. Whether you envision restoring the existing structures or developing new ones, this site offers significant potential to realize a personalized country estate or sustainable farm.
