Elegant country house near Brussels

"Huis Potaerde" is a stylish country house that is part of the square-shaped farmstead "de Potaerdehoeve," which dates back to 1772. Authenticity and elegance were central to the renovation. The location is exceptionally peaceful, with cows grazing in the adjacent pastures...<br>Close to various business centers and the bustling heart of Brussels… but you wouldn’t know it here in the countryside. With its rural setting, this country house is the ideal place to unwind, and it’s right near Brussels. Unique!

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts

This home was amazing. We stayed here at the end of our time in Europe to unwind and relax for a few days. The farm is beautiful, the history of the home is incredible, and the hosts are phenomenal people. We drove to Brussels one day in 30-40 minutes, the local grocery store was easy.

Best place to stay in Belgium

This property is worth the trip to Belgium just to stay here. We used the house as our base camp to visit a number of different parts of the country. The added benefits are its location on the farm, the beautiful landscape and the wonderfully decorated house. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook up a great meal and the fresh milk in the fridge was an added benefit. Kathleen is always available and is a perfect host. Highly recommend this property.
