Description
This residential farmhouse is situated on a generous plot of approximately 19,520 square meters, located in a rural setting in the municipality of Weert. The property offers a combination of an existing dwelling with various outbuildings and the exceptional opportunity to realize a new construction home, as a complete building permit has already been obtained.
The current farmhouse dates back to 1940 and features a traditional gable roof covered with tiles. The total living area measures 218 square meters, with an additional 107 square meters of indoor storage space and 116 square meters of external storage facilities. The property spans two floors plus a cellar and an attic space. The total volume of the existing building is 1,261 cubic meters.
Access to the property is provided via an entrance gate and driveway leading to a forecourt with ample parking on the premises. The main entrance features a covered porch. Upon entering, one arrives in a spacious reception hall with a tiled floor, a meter cupboard, a toilet room, and a staircase to the first floor. From the hall, there is access to the kitchen and a multifunctional work or office space.
The office or work room is located at the front of the house and can serve various purposes, including as a home office, practice room, playroom, or additional bedroom. This room contains a fireplace suitable for a wood stove and has carpeted flooring. This flexible space makes the property particularly suitable for those who work from home.
The kitchen is arranged in a half-open layout and features a simple kitchen setup with various storage cabinets, a worktop with sink, a four-burner gas hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, combination oven, and dishwasher. The kitchen appliances can be taken over by agreement. A characteristic open fireplace with an authentic mantelpiece adds character to the space. From the kitchen, there is a pleasant view over the rear grounds. The kitchen connects openly to the reception hall and provides access to the living room, a provision cellar, and an intermediate hallway leading to the utility room. This hallway also offers access to the garden.
The living room is generous in size and includes both a sitting area and a dining section. Features include a cozy wood stove, a recently installed air conditioning unit, and sliding doors leading to the terrace and garden. The large windows allow for abundant natural light and provide an attractive view of the surrounding grounds. The space offers various possibilities for modernization or expansion by incorporating adjacent spaces into the living area.
The utility room is a practical space with laundry connections and additional storage. It has a tiled floor. The provision cellar, accessible from the kitchen, provides useful storage options.
Adjacent to the living room is a multifunctional room suitable for diverse purposes such as a hobby room, studio, playroom, or workspace. This room has a vinyl floor and features French doors to the garden, creating a pleasant connection with the outdoor space. From this room, there is also access to the internal garage.
The former internal garage is currently arranged as a sports room or home gym. This versatile space offers various usage possibilities and is equipped with air conditioning. The central heating boiler is also located here. The room can be reached from the forecourt via double doors.
Another former internal shed is currently used as a storage and relaxation space. Via a hatch, there is access to an additional storage attic. This space can be reached from the forecourt through a large gate and a separate pedestrian door. This area also offers possibilities to be incorporated into the main living accommodation.
The first floor is accessed via a spacious landing with an open gallery, offering a pleasant view of the reception hall and the characteristic visible roof beams. From the landing, five bedrooms and two bathrooms are accessible. The master bedroom is situated on the left side of the property and has an en-suite bathroom, practical wall cabinets in the sloping roof sections, and a recently installed air conditioning unit. From one of the bedrooms, there is access to an additional storage attic above the left section of the house. The first floor is largely in a dated condition and offers excellent opportunities for complete renovation and modernization according to personal preferences.
The outdoor area is undoubtedly one of the absolute highlights of this property. With a plot size of approximately 19,520 square meters, the property offers an exceptional amount of space, privacy, and usage possibilities. The combination of meadows, greenery, mature trees, and unobstructed sightlines creates a unique sense of freedom and outdoor living. The grounds are highly suitable for keeping horses or hobby animals, but also offer possibilities for garden enthusiasts, outdoor lovers, or anyone seeking a rural living environment with plenty of room for movement.
The property includes a separate forest plot of approximately 2,121 square meters. The main grounds, excluding this forest plot, are fully fenced and accessible via three entrance gates. A complete beech hedge has been planted along the boundaries.
Various outbuildings are located on the plot, including a detached double garage with sectional doors and a detached outbuilding with horse boxes, a large sliding gate, and multiple access points. This outbuilding is well suited for its current use as a horse stable, hobby space, or storage facility.
What truly distinguishes this property is the existing and fully permitted new construction plan. The current dwelling may be demolished, after which a new, potentially very spacious detached home may be realized on the plot, including on a position further back on the land. The permitted building volume for the main building, excluding cellars, extensions, and outbuildings, is approximately 1,000 cubic meters. This offers significantly more possibilities than the commonly applied building volume of approximately 750 cubic meters within the region.
For the development of these plans, various studies have already been conducted, including soil, asbestos, and foundation investigations. The complete permit process has been completed. This creates a unique combination of design freedom, certainty, and considerable time savings. The existing design can serve as a starting point, while within the granted permit there are possibilities to make further adjustments in consultation regarding appearance, material use, and layout.
The current owner has already carried out various improvements in recent years. These include the renewal of the central heating boiler, the installation of a high-quality wood stove available for takeover, and the placement of multiple air conditioning units. The central heating system is a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler from 2025, which is included in the purchase.
The property is subject to a private law obstruction act regarding PPS Pipelines. An age clause applies due to the construction year of 1940. The cadastral designations are WEERT AC 210 with a surface area of 17,399 square meters and WEERT AC 209 with a surface area of 2,121 square meters, both in full ownership.
This farmhouse thereby offers the best of both worlds: an existing residence with ample possibilities for renovation and modernization, combined with the unique opportunity to realize a fully permitted new construction home on this special location. The property is offered at an asking price of 785,000 euros, costs to be borne by the buyer, and acceptance is in consultation.
