This exceptional and versatile property is located in Oudenburg, nestled between the expansive polders near Ostend and Bruges. It presents a rare opportunity for those seeking space, character, and potential. Historically, this property was the first factory, an iron turning shop, and the offices of the renowned Verhelst company, exuding a rich history and authenticity. Today, it offers a range of possibilities, from residential living to business ventures—or a combination of both. The property includes a stately, largely renovated master house boasting generous volumes, two versatile halls currently set up as an inviting event venue with a bar, kitchen, large terraces, and open views of the polders. Additionally, there is a separate ground-floor living unit at the back featuring a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The spacious garage/workshop at the front is equipped with a high gate, and an impressive loft with a terrace occupies the upper floor of the old factory. Throughout the building, there are various storage rooms, laundry facilities, and sanitary provisions. Outdoor living is paramount here, with sun-drenched terraces offering open views and privacy, creating an ideal holiday atmosphere. A private garden with a street-side gate complements more than 1,100 m² of private parking space. The property's excellent accessibility makes it suitable for residential living combined with professional practices, self-employed activities, co-housing, storage, or office use, possibly transforming into a B&B with regulations-compliant modifications. The property exudes character and potential, offering panoramic views over the polders all year round. Want to know more?
