House for sale in Mechelen with 5 bedrooms

Two idyllic homes with hidden fairy garden in the picturesque Groot Begijnhof in Mechelen

Absolute silence... What a paradise you step into here!

Nestled in one of the most beautiful streets of Mechelen, hidden behind long walls with climbing roses and wisteria, in a picturesque setting with a view of the Beguinage Church and St. Rombout's Tower.

Here you will discover characteristic facades and hidden fairy gardens, a true oasis of peace and quiet, in the midst of the bustling city.

With the proximity of cultural attractions, restaurants and stores, you will experience the best of both worlds: highways and downtown nearby, but once you step through the little door in the wall, you enter another, enchanting world, one of silence and tranquility, away from all the hustle and bustle, in your own little paradise.

Two beautifully landscaped ornamental gardens with box trees, terraces, a romantic fountain surround the houses, and a real secret garden you discover through a small gate: a mystical orchard with apple blossoms blooming in spring.

The beguinages, protected monuments, bear witness to Mechelen's rich history and are proudly part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
