House for sale in Boutersem with 10 bedrooms

Amid the rolling fields of Boutersem, on an estate of no less than 5.5 hectares, lies a property rarely seen on the market – and even rarer in character: Huize Balder. This exclusive villa combines a rich history, unique architecture and exceptional privacy. It is a place where past and future meet in an oasis of peace, elegance, and opportunity.

Huize Balder was built in the interwar period by Alphonse Cappuyns, a brilliant chemist and pioneer in the industrial production of citric acid. As the founder of La Citrique Belge, Cappuyns worked closely with Italian partners – an influence clearly reflected in the home. Sicilian elements such as columned galleries, arcades, and Mediterranean-style terraces are harmoniously blended into a traditional Belgian architectural style. The result is a warm, refined, and worldly home.

With approximately 976 m² of living space, the villa offers generous proportions: 10 bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a majestic entrance hall with a grand staircase, and bright living areas overlooking the estate. Outside, you'll find a heated swimming pool, three tennis courts, and several terraces with views of the surrounding greenery. The estate is fully enclosed and accessed via a private driveway, ensuring total discretion and absolute privacy.

Its location is another key advantage. Perfectly positioned between Leuven and Tienen, with excellent access to Brussels via the E40, it offers countryside tranquility without sacrificing connectivity.

This exceptional estate offers far more than just a place to live. Thanks to its layout and scale, Huize Balder is perfectly suited for a family estate, private practice, retreat center or even a small-scale hospitality development – such as a boutique B&B, artist residency, or an inspiring home for those wishing to combine living and working. The possibilities are endless.

But above all, Huize Balder is a place with a soul. A home with a name, a story and a legacy. In the previous century, it hosted cultural and sports weekends, with children playing in the woods and adults enjoying peaceful wellness and shared meals on the terraces. Now, it’s time for a new chapter – written by someone who is looking for something truly special.
