This is a classic European 'mixed-used' property: a veritable castle, perfectly suited for corporate offices or business meetings, as well as being fully furnished and equipped for comfortable, safe and prestigious living.

Discreetly set in a century-old arboreal (tree) park of ¾ acres, midway between Brussels and Antwerp, this 19th century mansion and its multi-functional outbuildings (guest wing, children's house, staff lodging, laboratory...) has been fully refurbished: floors, plumbing and heating, insulation, windows, doors, electric wiring and copper-decorated roof are all very much this century...as are the “Vert-Patricia” marble, Brazilian granite and stainless steel throughout the kitchen and dining areas.

The rest of the 2-story main house offers 5 bedrooms, 2 offices, a large reading lounge, smoking lounge, dining room, fully fitted kitchen, large cellars, 5 rooms with antique chimneys...plus, stained glass windows, ornamented iron gates, custom-made cabinetry (& matching custom-designed furniture), signature china and many other special or custom-made items. All antiques are of course in immaculate condition; marbles, granite and parquet are all "spotless" and "scratchless".

Strongly built in 1890 of thick, red brick walls and other 'stable' materials (granite, tropical hardwood, etc.), the castle is located on the quiet main street of a charming and peaceful village called Koningshooikt. It's just a very short walk to an excellent butcher, a baker, a mini-mart, a pharmacy, a newspaper shop and a Post Office.

Four miles away are a “Carrefour” shopping center and a gas station, and the property is just fourteen, twenty-seven and forty minutes, respectively, from an Academic hospital, Belgium’s International Airport and the headquarters of the European Union in Brussels.
