This remarkable enclosed quadrangular farmstead, known as the Prins-Kardinaalhoeve, is offered for sale at 630,000 € in Hoegaarden, located specifically at Sint-Ermelindisstraat 34, 3320. Dating back to the first half of the 18th century, this protected monument exudes a unique historical atmosphere. Constructed from solid hand-formed brick walls with Gobertange stone accents—a distinctive limestone sandstone—the property radiates authentic character and heritage value. The residence features an impressive facade with a central stair hall on the ground floor that connects directly to the inner courtyard from the street. This central corridor divides the ground floor into four rooms, including two spacious lounges facing the street and a kitchen overlooking the charming courtyard. The first floor mirrors this layout and presently includes four bedrooms and one bathroom. Above, the expansive attic, originally used for grain storage, offers significant potential for conversion into additional bedrooms, a multifunctional space, or other uses subject to renovation. Surrounding the characterful courtyard are various authentic outbuildings that enrich the estate’s historic appeal. Among these are a large barn with an attic, a traditional bakehouse, and a space that formerly served as sanitary facilities. Together, these buildings form a cohesive and unique ensemble. A standout feature of the property is an imposing medieval square tower ruin—the donjon—situated in the meadow. This historical structure dramatically enhances the site’s unique heritage and visual interest. The Prins-Kardinaalhoeve represents a rare real estate opportunity: an authentic historic site combining characterful buildings, numerous renovation possibilities, ample living space totaling 288 m², and extensive grounds of approximately 12,329 m² in a tranquil rural setting. The property is currently in need of renovation and is not furnished or rented. It includes four bedrooms and one bathroom, with an energy performance certificate indicating primary energy consumption of 858 kWh/m²/year (valid until 28/11/2029). The estate is not located in a flood-risk area and does not have a valid certificate for electrical installation compliance. This exceptional estate offers a singular chance to own a protected monument rich in history and charm within Hoegaarden’s picturesque environment. Interested buyers are encouraged to contact the seller for further information and to arrange a viewing of this extraordinary residence.
