The signature of architect Wouter Margry is immediately recognizable: sleek, stylish, and focused on light, with an abundance of beautiful windows. This detached, spacious villa is located in an excellent and peaceful spot, overlooking a green square. All amenities are within reach, with the centers of Waalre and Eindhoven nearby, and the forest just a short walk away.

SUSTAINABILITY
This detached villa boasts energy label B. The solid construction with (sound) insulating porisostone includes roof, floor, and cavity insulation, as well as HR glass throughout. The convector trenches are equipped with efficient radiator fans.

The roof offers optimal opportunities for solar panels facing east, south, and west, ensuring a steady energy yield throughout the day. These solar panels can be perfectly paired with air conditioning for heating and cooling, a heat pump, and a charging station for electric vehicles in the carport.

Currently, the house is heated by a central heating boiler and convectors. However, there is potential for further sustainability upgrades, such as installing a hybrid system or heat pump, which could make the home entirely gas-free. Combined with solar panels, the villa could even become energy-neutral.

The spacious living area of over 60 m² is cleverly divided into three functional zones: a cozy dining area near the garden doors adjacent to the kitchen, a large sitting room with tall windows on three sides at the front, and a sunken conservatory in the center. Thanks to its southern orientation and extra-thick insulating glass, the conservatory serves as a true sun and garden room. The façade and skylights were fitted with new screens in 2023.

Two other bedrooms include custom-built storage under the sloping rooflines. The fourth bedroom currently serves as a comfortable home office.

SECOND FLOOR
The spacious attic, accessible via a loft ladder from the landing, is ideal for storing seasonal items and more.

PRIME LOCATION AND PHENOMENAL VIEWS

Maastricht is known for its international, cultural and historical allure. The triangle of Liège, Hasselt and Aachen is approximately half an hour away; Antwerp and Brussels are easily reached in approx. ninety minutes by car. Its character is certainly Burgundian too. Within less than six kilometres are no fewer than six top Michelin-starred restaurants and 15 or more Gault & Millau chef's hats.

The view from your residence is different every day, every hour. On the left, the Bonnefantenmuseum rises above the Kennedy Bridge, on the other side of the Meuse sits the Limburg Gouvernement. And then, of course, there is the Meuse itself, slowly flowing commercial and pleasure craft.


VILLAPARK-SINT PIETER, MAASTRICHT AND ENVIRONS

The historic, green and prosperous villa district has many dozens of monuments. Villapark was therefore built at the end of the nineteenth century, after the fortress status of the southern fortifications was lifted. Its location is particularly central, with the medieval city wall, academic hospital UMC+, Maastricht University and the city centre a short distance away.

Since its construction was completed in 1883, the monumental "Belhuis" has been renovated and modernized several times to continue meeting current comfort and living standards. Throughout these renovations, many authentic elements have been carefully preserved or restored, from stained glass windows and shutters to terrazzo floors bordered with mosaic and ceiling ornaments created in the work.


SUSTAINABILITY

In 2023, 26 solar panels were installed. These are discreetly placed on the flat roof of the garden room/conservatory and on the sloping roof of the right wing of the villa.

Numerous improvements and sustainability measures have been implemented within the framework of the monumental regulations in a playful manner. During the renovation in 2016/2017, the ceilings with decorative ornaments in the living room, library, and sitting room were renovated and restored.

The entire ground floor was also renovated at that time. The expert advice of the Monumentenwacht (Monuments Watch) was consistently taken into account. The latest inspection report from 2023 is available for viewing.

In the new kitchen (2017) in the right wing, additional interior walls were brick-laid and insulated. New interior frames with HR++ glass were installed here, and floor insulation (for underfloor heating application) was applied. The space between the ceiling and the floor on the first floor was also insulated.

The garden room/conservatory, offering panoramic views of the mature green backyard, has a renewed glass front with insulated glass.

Furthermore, around interior walls were brick-laid and provided with additional insulation in the ground floor, including the master bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. New interior frames with HR++ glass were also installed here, along with floor insulation (due to underfloor heating) and ceiling insulation between the ceiling and the first floor. Nearly the entire ground floor is fitted with insulated glass, with the exception of the back hall, master bedroom 1, and bathroom 1.

The entire facade in the living room has been renewed, and the renewed interior frames of the living room, library, and sitting room are equipped with HR++ glass.

The floor of the second floor is covered with insulation panels. Air conditioning systems for heating and cooling have been installed in the garden room/conservatory and living room. Insulation material has been applied behind the various heating radiators, and fans have been placed on the radiators for better efficiency.

LAYOUT

This monumental villa continues to surprise you with space and possibilities. With no less than four living spaces (living kitchen, living room, sitting room, and library), seven bedrooms/work/hobby rooms, and four bathrooms, the "Belhuis" has all the space for the entire (blended) family. To live, work, relax, and enjoy!


GROUND FLOOR: PLENTY OF LIVING SPACES AND PRIVATE SUITE

Arriving at the "Belhuis" is already an experience; along the monumental beech trees and through the driveway through the classic front garden towards the beautiful facades with artistic masonry and rounded high windows with mullions. Entering the impressive entrance and experiencing the many large and 3.60-meter-high spaces is also an experience in itself.

After the reception hall with authentic door unfolds the long and high, centrally located hallway. On either side are stately living spaces. On the left are the TV or sitting room with open wood-burning fireplace, bookcase, and wainscoting. Next to it is the bright library annex study. Both rooms have oak plank floors. On the right is the impressive and spacious living room with solid oak parquet in herringbone, open gas fireplace, and the high suite doors to the light garden room/conservatory with mosaic-bordered original terrazzo floor with mother-of-pearl and decorative strips.

Completely to the right is the living wing situated - formerly the coach house with horse stable. This generous and handleless living and enjoyment kitchen from Tinello is equipped with all luxury, including the large kitchen island with integrated extraction at the six PITT Cooking gas burners in the granite top, plus double sink with Quooker.

At the former stable doors is a pleasant border terrace with automatic sun protection with atmospheric lighting that has sun all afternoon; wonderful for drinks and dining. The long corridor leads into the staircase and into the rear hall with toilet, antique fountain, and wardrobe.

Past the stairs lies the parental suite: the large and bright master bedroom 1 with walk-in wardrobe, luxurious Tinello bathroom 1, and adjoining laundry room. The bathroom has a double sink in granite and a double walk-in shower with sun shower. The separate toilet with Geberit AquaClean shower toilet is in the laundry room, which has its own back door for sustainable drying of laundry outdoors. This sleeping wing is symmetrical with the coach house and was formerly the residence of the pastor's maid. Both wings have underfloor heating.


FIRST FLOOR: SLEEPING, WORKING, AND RELAXING

The authentic staircase with balustrade leads to the large L-shaped landing with skylight. Everywhere there is oak parquet in herringbone. Next to the stairs is the central heating room annex storage cupboard. The central heating combination boilers Remeha Quinta Pro HR and Remeha Calenta HR for heating and hot water are from 2017.

Bedroom 2 with built-in wardrobe and sandblasted glass sliding door, together with bathroom 2 with double sink, skylights, towel radiator, bathtub, and shower, form a private suite. By combining these rooms with the double room in the right wing, a more than spacious studio apartment is created.

This right wing is accessible via bathroom 2 on this floor. There is a huge space with skylights and a round window, where a large hobby or study room, spacious sitting-bedroom, or studio can be created, if desired.

Adjacent to the landing is a compact bathroom 3 with skylight, towel radiator, toilet, and shower. Furthermore, this floor has three spacious (children's) bedrooms and study rooms with large windows and built-in closets.

At the top of the left wing is a spacious sitting-bedroom 6 with wardrobe, Velux skylights, plank floor, and its own bathroom 4 with round window, toilet, and rain shower. The sliding door playfully follows the lines of the roof slope.


SECOND FLOOR: ATTIC

In the attic is the ceiling hatch with loft ladder to the spacious attic. There is almost 45 square meters of storage space available at a height of 1.50 meters. The attic is currently not in use; insulation has been laid on the floor which replaces the roof insulation.


BASEMENT: PANTRY CELLAR

The large, partially tiled cellar with brick staircase has two daylight windows and a monastery floor. In the two cellar parts, under the vaulted ceilings, there is plenty of space for a game room, home bar, or wine cellar with tasting room, for example. There is still a robust safe. Behind the hatch is the water pipe to the outdoor faucet.


GARDEN AND OUTDOOR SPACE

The garden surrounding the property is as monumental as the "Belhuis" itself. This certainly applies to the two red beech trees at the front; both trees are municipally monumental with their age over one and a half centuries older than the "Belhuis." The trees behind, including lime trees and a chestnut tree, are also of age.

The garden is classically designed everywhere with mature hedges and shrubs, lawn, and lanterns. Highlights in the rear are the large lawn behind the tall beech hedges, the classic pond with trimmed yew spheres, the dolomite paths, and the large border terrace with sloping walking path at the conservatory and living kitchen.

In the pond - annually the domain of a pair of ducks - a fountain can be installed. The terrace at the back is partly covered. A striking detail: the door of the former outdoor toilet (now laundry room) is still there. The immense white climbing rose against the wall is a Guirlande d'Amour and provides a veritable sea of flowers in summer. The dried rose hips were used by nuns to make rosaries in the past.


LOCATION AND VIEW

The rectory for the former Saint Severinus church is located near the center of Hapert and is listed in the national monument register as the "Belhuis." This name is derived from the wooden, square bell tower with bronze bell on the high gable roof.

The central location near the village center and next to the cemetery ensures a quiet living environment. The view is particularly diverse and green-tinted. The deep front garden around the stately driveway is full of mature greenery. Absolute eye-catchers are the monumental beech trees next to the wrought iron entrance gate and beside the villa.


HAPERT AND SURROUNDINGS

Kempendorp Hapert is part of the municipality of Bladel, together with Casteren, Dalem, Hoogeloon, and Netersel. It has ancient roots: traces of prehistoric settlements have been found, it is mentioned in a charter in 710, and the medieval village has been called Hapert since the twelfth century. In addition to the "Belhuis," there are several other monuments, including the Korenmolen from 1896.

Today, the village is a strong economic engine in the already bustling Brainport metropolitan region. The VDL Groep made a significant contribution to this when founder Van der Leegte moved his industry from Eindhoven to Hapert in the 1960s. In 2014, Bladel was already among the ten strongest economic municipalities in the Netherlands. There is a lot of activity, especially at the large-scale Kempisch Bedrijvenpark near the A67 motorway.

The rural area also has nature and beautiful landscapes: including the Boswachterij De Kempen, Cartierheide, and Hapertse Heide. There are numerous cycling and hiking trails, which are also frequented by guests from Landal Het Vennenbos bungalow park. Particularly special is the accessible Waterpark Hapert, where reed beds and marsh forests ensure clean and living water in the Groote Beerze stream.

SUSTAINABILITY

No expense has been spared to fully transform the villa into a sustainable masterpiece. In the technical room of the detached garage, a heat pump has been carefully installed to provide underfloor heating and cooling throughout the villa, ensuring a constant indoor climate 365 days a year. Additionally, an advanced air handling unit by Burgers Ergon has been implemented to keep the villa free from particulate matter and pollen.

To optimize sustainability, all facades, floors, and roofs have been insulated with high-quality materials. Insulated glass has been used throughout the villa, not only increasing energy efficiency but also significantly enhancing comfort levels. These thoughtful improvements elevate the villa to a new level of luxury and sustainability, making it not just a house but a pioneering home.

Heating:
Heat is generated by a heat pump with a heating capacity of 19.2 kW, boasting a COP value of 4.08. From an efficiency standpoint, the heat pump has been selected to meet approximately 70% of the total heating demand. In case of very low outdoor temperatures, the remaining demand is supplemented by a gas-fired HR boiler. In emergencies, the gas-fired boiler can also meet the entire heating demand. The energy for the heat pump is extracted from the earth using a closed loop system with a capacity of 3.1 m³/h. The water cooled in the heat pump is reinjected into the ground.

The ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating, while on the first and second floors, low-temperature heating (LTH) via individually controllable radiators has been chosen.

Ventilation:
The air handling unit, located on the second floor, ensures complete ventilation of the villa, with a chosen 2.5-fold air exchange. The practically imperceptible sound level is lower than 30 dB(A). Both the supply and exhaust sides of the air handling unit are equipped with high-efficiency air filters, class F7, capturing 85% of dust particles ? 0.4 ?m, filtering out all fine dust particles. The unit also features a cross-flow heat exchanger with bypass for energy recovery from exhaust air. If necessary, the air is reheated by a water-fed heat exchanger. Variable-speed supply and exhaust fans ensure the correct air capacity transport.

The high-speed cross-flow heat exchanger achieves an efficiency of 84%. To ensure completely draft-free airflow into the various rooms in the villa, Trox high-induction swirl and linear diffusers, type RFD and VSD35 respectively, are used. The ventilation system is linked to the three existing gas fireplaces. When one or more gas fireplaces are activated, the supply and exhaust airflow rates are adjusted to maintain a slight positive pressure in the respective room.

Cooling:
The entire villa's cooling is provided by groundwater. A heat exchanger separates the water from the source and the cooling water in the house. During cooling demand, ventilation air is cooled, and the underfloor heating is switched to floor cooling. This provides 67 W/m² of cooling power, while only requiring a maximum of 0.55 kW for cold generation.

Control System:
The system is controlled by a digital control system called "Top Control Vision" by Priva. The software is equipped for both local and remote modem communication. The system can be remotely operated by the user via the modem, and in case of malfunctions, remote analysis can be performed by the relevant maintenance company.

Operation and data readings are carried out in a fully digital environment. A 12.1-inch TFT touchscreen panel is available in the house for the user, displaying status updates and measurements. Desired values and settings can also be adjusted via the screen.

GROUND FLOOR

Enter this unique villa through the double electric wrought iron gates and follow the majestic driveway of approximately 100 meters, covered with graceful gravel. On both sides, the front garden has been meticulously landscaped under architectural guidance, including an elegant rectangular pond feature. Ample parking on private grounds is readily available.

LAYOUT
The charm of this delightful family home is immediately evident upon arrival. The current residents deliberately chose not to install a gate, creating an inviting, open, and welcoming atmosphere that enhances the rural charm.

With attention to detail and rich in beautiful sightlines, the architect has crafted a romantic home filled with light, space, and character through their design.

Step into a world of unparalleled luxury and sophistication with this breathtaking villa, designed for those who seek the highest level of comfort and style. The spacious layout offers bright, open living spaces that flow seamlessly into one another. Perfect for private gatherings or family events, with multiple work and playrooms that effortlessly combine functionality and relaxation.

On the first and second floors, you will find four luxurious bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a dressing room), each designed with ultimate comfort and refinement in mind. Two beautifully finished bathrooms provide an ultimate wellness experience, while the fitness room and elegant dressing area in the master suite offer a space that embraces a lifestyle of elegance.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. Four carefully landscaped terraces provide the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living at any time of the day. The heated swimming pool invites you for a refreshing dip, followed by relaxation in the poolhouse with its outdoor kitchen.


GROUND FLOOR
Upon entering the hall, we immediately experience the grandeur. The height, the exquisite carpentry, the authentic natural stone floor, and the monastery doors all add even more character to the space. At the same time, they contribute to the warm and rustic ambiance. Anyone who walks through these doors can feel that a family in harmony has made memories here for many years. From cozy family dinners and summer playdays in the garden to everyday moments of togetherness: this is a true family home. The warm atmosphere, the charming corners, and the spaces designed for gathering make this house the perfect place for a family that cherishes the joy of a lively home.

Once through the monastery doors, one of the long sightlines within the house immediately reveals the office, which was added in 2009. This workspace features large windows on three sides, offering a beautiful view of the garden. With the doors closed, it creates a peaceful environment for focused work or study.

In the cozy TV room, located between the living room and the kitchen, craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetics come together beautifully. The wide custom-made cabinet, which houses media equipment, not only offers stylish storage but also serves as a striking focal point.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where you’ll see the kids coming home in the afternoon and where true cooking enthusiasts can indulge their passion. The space is spacious, cozy, and functional, equipped with a semi-professional 5-burner gas stove and high-end built-in appliances (2019), including a Miele combination steam oven/microwave, separate Miele oven, Liebherr built-in refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Airo range hood. Near the sink, there is a Quooker tap and a garbage disposal. Whether for a quick snack at the breakfast bar or a more elaborate meal in the adjacent garden-facing dining room, the kitchen is perfect for both. It offers direct access to the utility room with custom cabinetry and the luxurious double integral garage, which can easily be (partially) converted into additional living space, such as an office or bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

The dining room is the heart of the home, where coziness and comfort take center stage. This bright and inviting space creates a harmonious connection with the kitchen, fostering seamless interaction between the cooking and dining areas. Large windows offer stunning views of the garden, allowing the greenery to be enjoyed during meals. A charming small staircase leads to the wine cellar.

The playroom/study is slightly elevated, providing a playful and open view over the living area. This elevated position also creates a cozy atmosphere where children can play undisturbed while you are busy in the kitchen. This makes it an ideal spot for work or study as well.

The garden room at the rear of the house is an inviting and light-filled space that connects directly to the garden. Large windows allow plenty of natural light and offer stunning views of the outdoors, bringing nature inside. It’s a wonderful place to start the day with a morning coffee in the sunlight or end it with a crackling fire in the fireplace.

The garden room flows seamlessly into the cozy living room. This is a spacious, stylish, and romantic area with a centrally placed fireplace that provides warmth and comfort on cooler evenings. It’s the perfect space to relax, entertain guests, or spend quality time with your loved ones. Open the garden doors, and you step directly onto the stylish covered terrace, one of the inviting outdoor spaces surrounding this home.

A window and an additional glass door provide natural light to the double garage. This integrated garage, measuring approximately 45 square meters, features a high-quality tiled floor with underfloor heating.
