Discover the exceptional opportunity to acquire this magnificent residence in Averbode, a property that seamlessly combines historic grandeur with versatile potential. Priced at €1,290,000, this unique estate is situated on Kranenburgstraat 36, offering a vast domain of nearly 3 hectares that encompasses a historic castle, surrounding parkland, and additional outbuildings. Built in 1835, the main building features a total living area of approximately 870 square meters, distributed across three separate living entities, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living spaces. The estate is further complemented by an impressive multifunctional hall of about 168 square meters and a large, fully convertible barn of roughly 500 square meters, providing ample scope for renovation, expansion, or adaptive reuse. The castle itself is an architectural gem characterized by high ceilings, expansive windows, and a classicist style that exudes historic charm. While requiring some modernization, the property retains its original character and offers an extraordinary canvas for restoring its former splendor. The estate’s layout includes three distinct living units—one centrally located, another to the right, and a third on the left—each accessible via lifts or stairs. This configuration lends itself well to multi-family living or the development of hospitality or commercial ventures. The domain benefits from numerous external features such as a driveway with a gate, a moat with two arms, a picturesque park with an impressive mammoth tree, wooded areas, and meadows. Its rural setting provides tranquility and privacy while still maintaining good access to the E314 motorway. In terms of potential uses, the property is situated within a nature zone under a regional land use plan that permits various activities beyond traditional residence. These include professional practices, small-scale hospitality (like bed-and-breakfast establishments or cafés), craft workshops (such as blacksmithing or glassblowing), and other small enterprises. The estate’s extensive grounds include over twenty parking spaces and a garage, catering to visitors or residents alike. The property’s energy performance certificate indicates an energy consumption of 429 kWh/m² per year, and it is not protected as heritage, allowing for considerable flexibility in renovation or extension projects.
