Residence for sale - Sint-Pieters-Leeuw RAK02471 Sold

As early as 1683 the "Mechelsgat" is described as a leasehold with an inn and brewery. These historic buildings once formed the border between the County of Hainaut and the Duchy of Brabant. Most of the closed farm complex was rebuilt around 1900. This beautiful authentic square farmhouse is located in the heart of the Pajottenland, just outside the Brussels periphery. The main building and the outbuildings enclose the cozy courtyard which is a pleasant place to be. The inner courtyard with the gatehouse leads to the main building, which is characterized by its unique architecture. This building comprises about 10- rooms including 5 bedrooms, and all this with a total surface of about 500m². All living spaces have oak beamed ceilings, original floors, fireplaces and doors. The stylish interior architecture accentuates the coziness of living. Modern living comfort has been tastefully integrated into the authentic framework of yesteryear. The outbuildings consist of two separate servants' houses, one of which has already been completely rebuilt and is therefore habitable. There is also a huge barn (approx. 300m²) with built-in horse boxes. These buildings were built around the inner square that is completely paved. Of course, these outbuildings can be used as storage sites, or possibly all of this can be further converted into additional accommodation, which means that the living space can be expanded considerably. The total surface area of the built-up areas is around 800m² (without a shed) and thus offers a huge opportunity to act as a residential area for several families. The separate accommodation units already have a different house number and each have a separate access. This beautiful Pajotse square farm is a complex that offers many possibilities, and because of its size, extent and appearance also has to be viewed professionally. Of course, this property is suitable for multipurpose applications (home, office complex, restaurant, wellness, independent profession, yield property, chambres d'hôtes, etc....). This property is also perfectly suitable as a residential area for co-housing. All this makes the farm a unique entity that offers an absolute opportunity at this distance from Brussels.
