BISSCHOP RYTHOVIUSDREEF 6-6A RIETHOVEN
Very spacious farmhouse (living area 390 m²) with an additional detached house of 200 m², ideal for live-in family members, guests, or use as an office or workspace!
This farmhouse was built around 1863 in the small, historic hamlet of Walik, just outside Riethoven. For much of its life, it housed a farming family who lived under one roof with their livestock. Now, in 2024, the farmhouse is divided into a generous main residence and a second, internal living space for care purposes, guest accommodations, or children living at home. The large outbuilding is used as office space, and the stunning garden is a green oasis with a wide variety of mature trees and plantings.
How would you use this beautiful property? It’s a perfect base for a family with nearby towns like Valkenswaard, Waalre, Eindhoven, Eersel, and Bergeijk. It’s also an excellent location for entrepreneurs, bordering Brainport Eindhoven and close to Belgium.
LAYOUT OF THE FARMHOUSE
GROUND FLOOR
The private house entrance is in the right part of the farmhouse, identifiable by the yellow mailbox. In the reception hall with a loft, you can immediately see this is a farmhouse where light and space are plentiful. To the right of the hall, there is a guest toilet and a bedroom, which can also serve as a playroom or hobby room.
At the rear, the kitchen includes stairs to a raised room and a staircase to the wine/storage cellar. The kitchen has space for a six-person dining table, and the old fireplace has been retained, though currently not in use. The kitchen setup with a stone countertop is equipped with all necessary appliances.
The heart of the farmhouse is the living room with a fantastic fireplace, high loft, and garden doors. The beams and rafters add character and support the upper floor, adding a cozy touch to every space. A long, open staircase connects the living room to the first floor.
The second living area has its own entrance at the rear but is also accessible internally from the main house. The ground floor includes a living/dining room, a closed kitchen, and a storage space with a laundry area, accessible from the outside as well.
FIRST FLOOR
Follow the staircase in the hall to the landing, which provides access to both the left and right sections of this spacious floor. The entrance to the left section is currently closed off but can be easily reopened.
The right side has a large landing with a loft that can be used as a sports area or a play area for children.
This section also includes two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower, and a sauna. The atmosphere feels like home, with a beautiful view of the garden. Tall trees dominate the view, ensuring complete privacy.
The left side, with its own staircase, has three more bedrooms and a bathroom. Two of these bedrooms have mezzanines, which will likely be used as sleeping spaces for children.
OUTBUILDING/OFFICE
Styled in line with the farmhouse, a large 200 m² outbuilding (built in 1985) is located on the property, currently used as office space. The ground floor includes a reception area with a waiting room, restroom facilities, a large office/meeting room, and two additional offices. There is also a fully equipped kitchen. The upper floor has two multifunctional rooms, one of which is currently used as a music room, providing relaxation alongside work.
