Rural Housing Opportunity

A rare opportunity in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes: a former farmhouse in a particularly quiet and rural location in Wortegem-Petegem, with a permitted residential function and a current land position of approximately 8,850 m² and the possibility to expand it to about 77,399 m². A special place for those who appreciate space, tranquility, and rural living. In a particularly quiet and rural location in Wortegem-Petegem is this former farm, today licensed for private residence. The property enjoys an open location with beautiful views over the surrounding fields and offers a combination of peace, space, and a particularly interesting future perspective. The existing house forms an excellent basis for those who want to modernize a characterful rural house to their own taste. Even more interesting is that the house, within the applicable non-urban basic rights and subject to a new environmental permit, can also be completely demolished and rebuilt in the same place. A house of up to a maximum of 1,000 m³ is possible. This creates the possibility to realize a completely new, energy-efficient, and contemporary rural house at this location, while retaining the unique character of the environment.
In addition, the property has a spacious detached outbuilding that is currently licensed as a residential outbuilding, with possibilities for a garage, storage, and hobby space, among others. The building is an important practical added value and can be further adapted within the existing volume to the needs of the future owner. In the event of redevelopment, it is recommended to retain the existing outbuilding and renovate it within the existing volume.
An additional asset is the possibility to significantly expand the land position. Depending on the acquisition of the rear and surrounding plots, the domain can be expanded to approximately 7.7 hectares. This offers an exceptional perspective for those who dream of a larger rural estate with space for meadows, horses, hobby animals, nature, or a generous garden. The expansion is, of course, dependent on the actual acquisition of the relevant lands.
The property is located in an open agricultural environment, but the residential function is licensed. The existing permits and available documentation provide a clear starting point for the further development of the property.
The mentioned renovation, rebuilding, expansion, and acquisition possibilities are always subject to the required environmental permits, the concrete plans, and the assessment by the competent authority. The possible expansion of the domain depends on the separate acquisition of the relevant plots.
