Amid the vast countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, lies this unique piece of land: DE KLOTBEEK, a true paradise for nature lovers, peace seekers, and outdoor enthusiasts. This expansive property features a varied landscape of nature, forest, and agricultural land, with its most striking feature being a large, natural fishing pond—a tranquil oasis for both humans and wildlife. De Klotbeek is a fen located in the municipality of Bernheze, in the rural outskirts of the village center Heeswijk-Dinther, near the hamlet of Hommelse Hoeven. South of the fishing pond flows the Leijgraaf, a tributary of the Aa. De Klotbeek is surrounded by trees and shrubs, forming a densely vegetated natural area in the middle of agricultural businesses. Whether you're looking for a private sport fishing spot, want to develop a food forest, harvest your own firewood, or simply enjoy the peace and landscape—it's all possible here. The plot offers numerous possibilities for timber production, extensive (sport)fishing, as well as small-scale agriculture or ecological projects. This is not a standard piece of land—this is a place to unwind, to reconnect with nature, and to enjoy outdoor living in its purest form. The property comprises approximately 10,000 m² of agricultural land (so far used as pasture), approximately 5,000 m² of water features including the fishing pond, and approximately 15,000 m² of nature and forest land. At the end of the photos, you will find a map on which the offered plot is marked in red. The surrounding nature is owned by the municipality of Bernheze. The plot is accessible via a 300-meter-long private access road from Koffiestraat, which is included in the ownership! The land is thus completely secluded in the landscape; there are no homes, businesses, or farms nearby. The forest stands consist mainly of (large) English oaks, alders, birches, and willows. HISTORY: The fen was formed during the coldest period of the Weichselian, the last ice age. Due to the freezing and later thawing of the lake, Pingo remnants formed in De Klotbeek. The Pingo ruin is located in a unique spot in the country, as this process mainly occurred in the northern regions. Due to human interventions in the 19th and 20th centuries, the area has taken the shape it has today. FISHING POND: The pond was used for decades by a local angling club—initially a club from Uden (De Kleuter), and later by a club from Vorstenbosch, both of which leased the fishing rights. The most recent club stopped leasing the pond a few years ago, though it is still fished on occasionally, but no longer under a formal association. Several banks have been reinforced and stabilized to facilitate sport fishing from the shore. Various studies on the (water) quality are also available. FOOD FOREST: Although there is currently no food forest on the plot, De Klotbeek and its surroundings are ideally suited for creating such a sustainable and nature-inclusive system. Thanks to the combination of fertile farmland, existing forest structures, and a water-rich environment, the natural conditions are ideal for developing a food forest. Think of a diverse system of edible trees, shrubs, herbs, and climbing plants, where food is naturally produced while simultaneously enhancing biodiversity. For anyone wanting to live self-sufficiently or start an ecological project, this plot offers a unique opportunity to realize a future-proof food forest. ZONING/FUNCTION: According to the spatial plan of the municipality of Bernheze (currently still the zoning plan “Buitengebied Bernheze” dated October 8, 2014), the plot has roughly two zoning designations. The actual agricultural lands are zoned “Agricultural with values – Landscape, cultural-historical and/or abiotic values”; the forest, nature, and water areas are zoned “Nature”; and the access road from Koffiestraat is zoned “Water – watercourse.” Additionally, there are partial double designations: “Value – Archaeology 2” and “Value – Archaeology 3”, and area designations such as “environmental zone – drilling-free zone”, “reconstruction law zone – extensification area”, and “WRO zone – nature development area.” A strip along the Leijgraaf is also designated as “WRO zone – ecological connecting zone.” All of this constitutes a regular and common zoning. There are no possibilities to build structures (such as shelters or caravans). INTERESTED? Are you looking for a peaceful, secluded place where you can truly unwind? Then this plot is absolutely worth a visit. You are welcome to view the property at your convenience. Please refrain from bringing dogs onto the agricultural lands to prevent the spread of Neospora. In the rest of the natural area, please keep dogs on a leash at all times. MORE INFORMATION?
