Upsides

Downsides

- The asking price of €975,000 is substantial, which may place the property out of reach for many potential buyers.
- Maintaining the extensive grounds and multiple outbuildings, including a large barn, requires significant time and effort.

- There is a discrepancy in the listing regarding the square meters for 'overige inpandige ruimte', listed as 168 m² in the description text but 15 m² in the features section, which could cause confusion regarding the actual size of the indoor storage.
Description
Nestled in the beloved Klein-Haasdal within the municipality of Schimmert, this characteristic square farm, known locally as a carréboerderij, offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. Situated on a generous plot of 2,808 square meters, the property has been fully modernized to provide future-proof living comfort while maintaining its authentic appeal. This rare combination of a distinctive architectural style, high-quality finishing, and extensive sustainable measures makes the residence a standout opportunity in the current market. The property is entirely move-in ready and boasts an impressive energy label A+++, ensuring a comfortable living environment with minimal energy costs.
The layout of the farm is centered around a charming enclosed courtyard, which serves as the heart of the complex and connects the various buildings. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures optimal privacy for the residents. The measurements and surface areas are indicative based on the available floor plans and measurement statements, providing a general idea of the spaciousness on offer. The total living area spans 274 square meters, complemented by a significant amount of storage space.
Upon entering the main residence via the entrance on the driveway side, one is welcomed into a reception hall. To the left lies the royal living kitchen, measuring approximately 5.89 by 4.63 meters. This culinary space is equipped with a cooking island featuring modern appliances and is directly connected to the hall. A particular feature of the kitchen area is the access to an authentic vaulted cellar, ideal for use as a wine cellar or storage pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is the living room, a long and atmospheric living area that overlooks the inner courtyard. This room connects to the hall and the staircase leading to the upper floor. At the front of the house, there is an additional room that lends itself perfectly for use as a television lounge, home office, or playroom.
From the entrance hall, there is also access to an additional bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and a utility room which houses the technical installations, including the heat pump. A key feature of the ground floor is the focus on accessibility and life-course proof living, complete with sleeping and bathing facilities on this level.
The central courtyard links the main living areas with the auxiliary buildings. Surrounding the courtyard are the guest accommodation, the impressive barn, and various storage sheds. The guest house is located to the left of the courtyard and adjacent to the barn. It features its own entrance, a simple bathroom, and a bedroom on the ground floor. This setup makes the annexe highly suitable for various purposes, such as housing older children, providing care for family members, or operating a home-based practice.
The barn and storage areas offer a vast amount of space for hobbies and storage, with external storage space totaling approximately 168 square meters. The barn itself is a substantial structure featuring authentic oak beams and an attic floor, presenting excellent opportunities for expansion or creative reuse. Whether for a large workshop, an artist's studio, or keeping animals such as horses or small livestock, the possibilities are extensive within the existing building volume.
Moving to the first floor of the main building, the landing provides access to a bathroom and three bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms are designed with an extra split-level or mezzanine, effectively creating a sleeping area and a separate study or hobby space within the same room. This playful layout makes optimal use of the height of the building. Skylights ensure ample natural light enters these rooms. Above the shed in the left part of the building, there is another spacious attic storage area, adding to the multifunctional utility of the property.
The outdoor space is equally impressive. The spacious garden includes an adjacent orchard or pasture, providing a delightful place to relax and enjoy the rural atmosphere. The current residents keep chickens and sheep in the garden, highlighting the suitability of the land for a natural and small-scale agricultural lifestyle. The property features a wide private driveway with parking available on the grounds, ensuring convenience for multiple vehicles.
Sustainability is a defining characteristic of this property. The farm has undergone extensive renovations in recent years to achieve an exceptional level of energy efficiency without sacrificing its character. The home is equipped with 36 solar panels and solar collectors to harness renewable energy. Heating is provided by a heat pump installation, supplemented by floor heating, infrared panels, and a pellet stove for cozy warmth. The roof of the main farmhouse has been newly insulated, and the entire square farm features new baked roof tiles. Wall and floor insulation have been installed, and the windows feature HR++ and HR+++ glazing. Even the facades have been re-pointed. These measures collectively result in an energy label A+++ and a highly comfortable indoor climate.
Living in this property offers a balance of atmosphere and potential. The home breathes character through its authentic construction style, the beautiful courtyard, and the original elements such as the oak beams in the barn. Simultaneously, it delivers a modern luxury living standard with generous living spaces and abundant natural light. The location in Klein-Haasdam, part of the Beekdaelen municipality, allows residents to enjoy peace, space, and privacy while being within reach of local amenities, highways, and the rolling hills of South Limburg. This unique estate is a rare find for those who value character, comfort, and the outdoors.
