The garden includes several terraces, including a large covered terrace, an impressive driveway, a tennis court, four landscaped ponds, etc. The garden is also equipped with lighting and a sprinkler system. Architecture and finish This special project came about in the late 1990s through a wonderful collaboration between French architect Jean-Loup Msika, with input from Axel Vervoordt and intensive supervision throughout the entire construction process, from the shell to the finishing touches, by Mr Vervoordt. Jacques Wirtz drew up this unique design for the outdoor areas. These three exceptionally talented professionals have worked in harmony to create a unique property. Many antique and unique elements and materials were used in the finishing of the villa. Many pieces, such as the pharmacy, which was used as a library, and the antique staircases, have been given a new lease of life in this villa. Documentation with certification is also available for various elements. Special features This exceptional estate is truly a unique property and a rare opportunity to acquire.
