Self-Sufficient Nature Estate with B&B Facilities and Extensive Land
Key Features
Upsides
- Valid B&B permit in place allowing immediate continuation of rental activities
- Nearly 19,000 square metres of fully enclosed land with mature planting, fruit and nut trees, and natural ponds
- Life-cycle resistant main residence with comprehensive insulation and recent bathroom renovation in 2025
- Flexible use of multiple outbuildings suitable for B&B, office space, hobby activities, or family accommodation

- Main CV boiler dates from 2004 and may require replacement in the near future
- Some windows in the outbuildings use plexiglas instead of proper double glazing
- The kitchen renovation is listed as 2026, which appears to be either a future plan or an error in the listing
Description
This unique property is situated on the Loosbergstraat in Wernhout and comprises a detached residential home, a barn with B&B facilities, two additional B&B apartments, a wooden chalet, and an extensive natural domain spanning nearly 19,000 square metres. The entire estate is located along a quiet road in a green, rural setting near the Belgian border, offering a private world of tranquility and natural silence.
The property is zoned for both agricultural and residential purposes under the most recent zoning plan from the municipality of Zundert dated September 2024. The zoning designation allows for a maximum of three residential units classified as two connected buildings. A valid B&B permit is already in place, enabling an immediate continuation of recreational rental activities or existing operations.
The main residence is a life-cycle resistant detached house that has been fully insulated since construction, including the roof, floors, and cavity walls. The entire ground floor features an oak parquet floor with an insulating cork underlay on insulated concrete. All windows and doors have plastic frames with a wood appearance, fitted with HR++ glazing and additional secondary windows for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency. The electrical panel has been modernized to a three-phase system (3x25A) to accommodate the B&B facilities and associated consumption.
The ground floor layout consists of an entrance hall, toilet, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. The entrance hall provides access to the meter cupboard and gives entry to the living room, bedroom, bathroom, and toilet. The living room is a spacious, open, and particularly bright living space with a calm and inviting appearance. High turn-and-tilt windows provide an abundance of natural daylight and offer pleasant views of the surrounding greenery. The combination of high windows and the open layout creates a pleasant, serene atmosphere where indoor and outdoor spaces naturally flow into each other. An oak parquet floor, walls finished with spachtelputz, and a ceiling with wooden beams give the room a warm and well-maintained appearance. A modern and efficient HR wood stove with soapstone is centrally positioned in the living room, providing sufficient heat, atmosphere, and comfort during colder days.
The dining room is accessible via the living room and continues the oak parquet floor. The walls are finished with wallpaper. The space offers ample room for a large dining table with chairs but could also serve excellently as a work or playroom. Large turn-and-tilt windows provide a fine view of the covered terrace and the green courtyard.
The kitchen is spacious and arranged with considerable attention to comfort, functionality, and atmosphere. Professional stainless steel worktops provide more than sufficient workspace. The kitchen includes a central work island and is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction hob, a high-capacity extractor hood, a professional spray tap, double sinks, a dishwasher, a NAF oven, a Gorenje plate warmer, and an American refrigerator-freezer combination. Connections for laundry appliances are present, with sufficient space for both a washing machine and a dryer.
The ground floor bedroom offers sufficient space for a double bed, a wardrobe, and possibly an additional seating or work area. The bathroom was completely modernized in 2025, with both the floor and walls finished in PVC. It is equipped with high-quality Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware, including a washbasin and a spacious walk-in shower with a Grohe shower faucet. Heating is provided by an electric heater and radiator. Dimmable LED lighting in both the ceiling and mirror is adjustable in colour. The separate toilet is equipped with a hanging closet and a fountain.
The first floor is accessible via a fixed staircase from the entrance hall. The landing gives access to two spacious bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom, and an attic space. The floor is finished with a wooden floor, plastered walls, and a plaster ceiling. Both bedrooms have wooden floors, with one featuring wallpapered walls and the other smooth plasterwork. Practical storage space is located behind the knee walls. Radiators provide heating, and there is ample natural light through turn-and-tilt windows.
The first-floor bathroom is spacious and luxurious, with a fine view from the dormer window over the southern part of the property and the surrounding rural area. It includes a double sink, a luxury shower cabin with a rain shower and jet streams, a modern hanging built-in toilet, a CV radiator, and an electric designer radiator. A drain connection is present for the possible installation of a bathtub.
The outdoor area has received considerable attention regarding privacy and comfort. Various mature fruit trees, nut trees, indigenous trees, and shrubs have been planted. There is a private green courtyard facing south. Two Pipo caravans with their own facilities are located on the site, along with a professional tent for storing agricultural tractors and equipment.
The multifunctional barn serves as B&B unit one and is accessible via high, insulated wooden folding doors. The building is suitable for a wide range of activities and purposes. It features good roof and wall insulation, its own CV boiler from 2013, radiators, electricity, internet connection, and a wood stove. The floor has a smooth cement screed finish, and the building has insulated doors and largely double glazing, with double plexiglass applied in the kitchen area. The bathroom is modernly finished with a shower cabin featuring a rain shower and jet streams, a designer radiator, PVC floor, and mechanical ventilation. A separate built-in toilet has electric underfloor heating. The practical kitchen is equipped with a single sink, induction hob, and refrigerator-freezer combination. An adjacent utility and storage section of approximately 50 square metres is present, alongside a canopy of approximately 30 square metres. Thanks to a flexible partition wall, the space can be multifunctionally arranged and even expanded to approximately 120 square metres.
B&B units two and three are located on the south side of the barn. Both accommodations have their own entrance and approach, with a separately situated south-facing garden offering views over the property and surrounding area. Large window sections with wooden frames, double glazing, and plexiglass secondary windows provide natural light, while exterior sun blinds contribute to comfort and privacy. Each unit has its own kitchenette with a sink, close-in boiler, and extractor hood. The bathrooms are equipped with professional walk-in shower cabins with rain showers and washbasins. Mechanical ventilation ensures a pleasant indoor climate, with additional electric heating for extra comfort.
The wooden chalet on the property is particularly suitable for recreation and use as a B&B. The space is extra insulated and features its own terrace with a garden and a covered veranda. A large window across the full width provides a beautiful view. A nostalgic wood stove adds atmosphere and warmth. The chalet has hot and cold water, its own kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, induction hob, and extractor hood, plus a private bathroom with washbasin, shower, and toilet. A modern and low-maintenance geyser from 2020 provides hot water.
The property is located in a rural setting along a quiet road outside the built-up area, near the Belgian border. The immediate surroundings are characterized by a quiet and green setting with agricultural land, meadows, forest parcels, and scattered residential and equestrian properties. Facilities in Zundert and Belgian border towns are reachable within ten minutes by car. Exit roads towards Breda, approximately 28 minutes by car, and Antwerp, approximately 37 minutes by car, are easily accessible.
