In the Liège Condroz, in Nandrin, a château, its guest house, its grounds and its pond, covering some 5.5 hectares. A tree-lined islet in the middle of a pond. It is through this that the estate best tells its story: a place that seems to need no one to exist, and yet was deliberately created. All around, some 5.5 hectares of lawns and tall trees open up in vistas leading to the château. Its silhouette is measured, its proportions just right. Inside, the ceilings are high and the wood panelling abundant, and the rooms invite you to linger. The château has eleven bedrooms under its roof, whilst a neighbouring, separate house offers a further five. The estate is accustomed to company yet also knows how to be discreet. The château for entertaining, the island for getting away from it all.

In Flémalle, in the province of Liège, an early 18th-century building set in grounds of some 4.2 hectares overlooking the Meuse valley. Seen from above, the Meuse has a timeless quality. It flows on, indifferent, whilst people build, restore and pass on their legacy. Since the early 18th century, this building has looked out over it. Monumental landings, decorative frescoes, stately proportions, preserved original features: everything speaks of an era that built to last. The roofs and window frames have been refurbished. Kitchens, bathrooms and heating systems are still awaiting the hand that will finish what others have begun. Some 1,000 m² of floor space, around ten bedrooms, a caretaker’s lodge, a farmhouse and 4.2 hectares of land listed as part of Wallonia’s exceptional heritage.
