Retranchement has kept a calm that many villages in the area have since lost. It lies around ten minutes from Knokke, with the Zwin and its nature reserve within easy reach, yet the whole remains untouched by any real bustle. It is here that this detached house stands, with open views reaching across the surrounding landscape and a garden that extends the home at the rear.
The house was not designed to impress, but to live in well. The renovation was carried out with care: the authentic character was kept, while the comfort was brought up to date. Inside and out are simply connected — the living room looks over the garden, and in the warmer months the sun terrace takes on part of daily life.

In practical terms, the renovation means the house is move-in ready while keeping the elements that give it its personality. Nothing structural needs attention; whoever settles here can adapt the home to their own taste without having to work around what is already there.
An entrance hall with cloakroom and guest toilet leads through to the living space. The spacious, light-filled living room with fireplace flows into the dining area, which looks out over the landscaped garden and sun terrace. The fully equipped open kitchen with gas stove connects seamlessly, so the ground floor reads as one continuous whole.
A practical storage room keeps that ground floor uncluttered and absorbs what daily use would otherwise burden the living spaces with — useful for storage, household matters or seasonal items.
Upstairs are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a large terrace with a wide view over the surrounding nature. The two further bedrooms share a separate shower room and lend themselves equally well to children, guests or a home office.
At the rear of the property is an enclosed garage, reached via a shared driveway. More than the sum of its rooms, this is a home that draws its value from its setting: full of character, renovated, and placed in a landscape that has remained rare in its quiet, a short distance from Knokke and the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below you can find some Frequently Asked Questions.
What are the notary costs when buying luxury real estate?
Notary costs typically consist of several components, such as fees, administrative and deed costs, searches and taxes/levies. For luxury real estate, the costs follow the same legal rules, but in practice files are often worked out more thoroughly (e.g. additional file checks, company structures, timing around a second home). Your notary can best estimate the total costs in advance based on your purchase price and situation.
