Centuries-old grandeur: the historic Beaulieu Abbey site on the golf course

In the heart of the protected cultural and historic landscape of the Scheldt Meadows, directly adjoining the Royal Golf Club Oudenaarde, stands this exceptional listed heritage property, whose first residents took up residence in 1290. The former guest quarters of the historic Abbey of Beaulieu combine a rich aristocratic past with high-quality restoration and contemporary living comfort. With its iconic round stair tower, authentic Baroque stucco ceilings and park-like grounds of approximately 11,873 m², this property offers an unparalleled living environment.

The impressive main building, constructed in traditional brick and natural-stone architecture, immediately commands attention. The focal point of the façade is the slender round stair tower comprising five levels, crowned with a slate roof and an original lion-motif weather vane. The façades are adorned with sandstone cross-mullioned windows, authentic Tudor-arched doors and a distinctive chimney with a sculpted sandstone mask.

Upon entering the residence, the harmony between the historic elements and the high-quality finish is immediately apparent. The living spaces feature plastered groin vaults with refined stucco decoration, robust oak-beamed ceilings and original natural-stone flagstone floors. Monumental fireplaces form the atmospheric heart of the sitting and dining rooms.

The kitchen combines rustic charm with contemporary convenience. The first floor currently comprises four full-sized bedrooms and two tastefully finished bathrooms.

The surrounding garden offers an oasis of privacy and tranquillity. Landscaped gravel paths, young plantings and mature trees create a beautiful setting that merges into the protected Scheldt Meadows. From the terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views over the landscape and the golf club’s greens.

The property has been restored with a view to carefree living. The electrical installation has been fully approved as compliant, the heating system was recently renewed, solar panels are installed and the property has an asbestos-safe certificate.
