The beautiful Château du Jardin truly earns the title of “Dream Property.”

Château du Jardin
Located just 50 minutes from Brussels near the French border, the Château du Jardin on its 12 acre park setting is also eco-friendly. Try finding another 1780-built chateau that can boast this capability along with traditional architectural elements!
The chateau’s electricity is produced by solar panels that sit atop the woodshed. With a supply containing 5-years worth of hardwood for burning, heating is provided by a state-of-the-art wood-fed furnace with all wood grown on the château grounds.

The Château du Jardin offers both French and English gardens along with nut trees including walnut, chestnut and hazel. There are other exotic species such as American Sequoia, Burgundy Oak and a variety of rare Dutch elms. Adding further to the ambience of the chateau – bike and horse trails abound in the area and the Dendre canal with its walking and biking trails, is nearby. Surrounded by neighborhood farms that practice organic and sustainable farming, locally-produced vegetables, fruit, breads, cheese and meats are readily available.

This marvelous 3-story chateau boasts 12 bedrooms and 3 baths and can easily accommodate 20 persons. Traditionally restored in recent years, the chateau’s modern technology is fully integrated and includes ADSL, cable TV, and phone lines in each room, top-quality appliances (Miele, Bosch, etc.), a billiard room, a Jacuzzi, a ‘Temple’ shower, modern bathrooms and kitchen, and a state-of-the-art alarm system.
