Once built for education, now a place full of possibilities! Whether it's for living, working, or as a creative hub — this is a space where something beautiful can grow. A unique opportunity to transform this former girls' primary school into something truly special. A rare find, located in the heart of the five-star Heuvelland region. Like many other villages in South Limburg, Mechelen once had separate schools for boys and girls. The boys' school was demolished years ago, but the girls' school was preserved. Built in 1932, the school building is described as a four-class central corridor school in an expressionist architectural style, featuring strikingly large windows and an elegant entrance. Many little feet once walked through that central entrance — with its beautiful tiled floor — toward the spacious and light-filled classrooms. What was once the playground is now a generous garden with mature trees, offering a high degree of privacy. In the garden, near the front façade, stands a cast-iron cross on a natural stone pedestal inscribed with the words “Gedenk Mij” (“Remember Me”). But perhaps the most charming feature is the distinctive little tower with the school bell, sitting proudly atop the roof. The former school building has been used as a residence since the early 1980s, but both previous and current owners have made very few changes to the property. Now, you are offered the chance to add a new chapter to the life story of this unique building — whether as a home with office or practice space, or a recreational retreat. Endless possibilities in a truly exceptional property!
