LUXURIOUSLY FINISHED FARMHOUSE NEXT TO CASTLE TEN HOVE As soon as you walk through the monumental gate and enter the shared courtyard, you’ll immediately notice how unique this location is. The home is part of a small-scale, listed complex with a peaceful courtyard and plenty of surrounding greenery. From the large living room windows, you have a stunning view of the adjacent Castle Ten Hove. The farmhouse originally dates back to the 17th century and was expertly renovated in 1992 into a number of charming residences. At the entrance of the shared grounds, there are private parking spaces and a garage reserved for residents. Here, you can enjoy peace and quiet on the edge of the village of Grathem in central Limburg. The home is spacious and practically laid out. Authentic features such as the loft-style opening and wooden beams in the living room add charm, while the deep backyard offers lots of privacy and space. A perfect place for those who love tranquil living, yet with quick access to major roads towards Brabant and South Limburg. The cities of Weert and Roermond are just a 15-minute drive away. Ground floor The front doors of the homes open onto the shared courtyard of the farmhouse. Through the generous entrance hall, you step into the home. The hall provides access to the meter cupboard, a neatly finished toilet room, and the living room. The staircase leads to the first floor. The toilet is fully tiled and fitted with a wall-hung toilet and small washbasin. The house features a spacious and attractively designed living room (approx. 31.8 m²). The exposed beams and loft ceiling immediately catch the eye and add a spacious feel. French doors with charming louver shutters offer direct access to the garden. The TV can be placed on either side of the sitting area. The entire ground floor has an authentic slate floor and underfloor heating. The U-shaped open kitchen is fully equipped with an induction hob, extractor hood, combination microwave, and dishwasher (new in December 2024). A close-in boiler provides instant hot water. From the kitchen, you walk into the practical utility room (approx. 4.7 m²), which offers plenty of storage thanks to built-in cupboards. You'll also find laundry connections here and a door to the garden. First floor The landing provides access to two spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom has a unique layout with a beautiful view of the living room below through the loft opening — giving it a playful and open feel. The bathroom (approx. 3.6 m²) is fully tiled and equipped with a wall-hung toilet, shower cabin, and a washbasin with vanity unit. Bedroom 1: approx. 20.8 m² Bedroom 2: approx. 11.8 m² The first-floor rooms are finished with high-quality laminate parquet. Second floor The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase. From the landing, you have access to the third bedroom and a storage room. This spacious bedroom features two dormer windows, a wired internet connection, and a laminate floor. The view over the garden from this room is fantastic. There are also two separate storage rooms on this floor (approx. 6.8 m² and 7.3 m²), one of which provides access to the central heating unit. Garage The house includes a private garage (approx. 14.7 m²) with an up-and-over door and loft. Ideal for storing bicycles, a car, garden tools, or to use as a hobby space. Outdoor area The beautifully landscaped garden is perfectly maintained, with multiple terraces, lawn areas, and a gravel terrace with a firepit. Dense greenery ensures full privacy. The garden is approximately 35 meters deep! A path runs along the flower beds and seating areas, leading you to the rear of the garden, where you’ll find a lovely shaded area beneath a covered pergola. There's even a designated spot for a hammock. The garden is accessible via a back entrance — handy for removing garden waste, for example. A groundwater well with pump has been installed for garden irrigation. Shared ownership This home is part of a farmhouse complex, meaning you purchase a so-called "apartment right". This means the home is entirely yours, but the access gate, driveway, courtyard, and parking spaces are jointly owned by the Owners’ Association (VvE). That’s why there is a monthly contribution of €168 for the maintenance of these communal parts. Grathem Grathem is one of the village centers in the municipality of Leudal, central Limburg. The historic village core is particularly charming. The restored watermill is well worth a visit. Grathem is also home to two castles: Castle Ten Hove — which this farmhouse belongs to — and Castle Groot Buggenum. The Boschmolenplas, one of the largest lakes of the Maasplassen, is within easy cycling distance. Key features: - You are purchasing an apartment right (shared ownership structure). - The active Owners' Association “Pollaertshof” is externally managed by HETON, a professional VvE manager. VvE documentation is available for interested buyers. - The farmhouse is a national listed monument (Rijksmonument). As a private owner, you may deduct certain maintenance costs from your income taxes. Additionally, there are subsidies available for major maintenance. Currently, up to 60% of VvE maintenance costs may be subsidized. The VvE makes full use of this. - The farmhouse was expertly renovated in 1992 by Paul Corstjens, preserving many authentic features. - Thanks to the thick, solid walls, the home stays pleasantly cool in summer. - As a national monument, an energy label is not required. - Three-phase electricity is available in the master bedroom (previously for a sauna). - Window screens are installed. - Energy-efficient home: gas usage last year was only 850 m³!
