BISHOP RYTHOVIUSDREEF 6 in RIETHOVEN
Very spacious farmhouse (living area approx. 390 m²) with a second home under the same roof—ideal for family members, guests, or use as an office or workspace!
This farmhouse was built around 1863 in the small, very old hamlet of Walik, just outside Eindhoven. Long ago, a farming family lived here under one roof with their livestock. Today, the farmhouse is divided into a large modern home plus a second home inside, for example for family care, guests, or older children living at home. The beautiful garden is like a green oasis, with a wide variety of mature trees and plants.
What will you do with all this space? For a family, this is a perfect home base, with Valkenswaard, Waalre, Eindhoven, Eersel, and Bergeijk nearby. It is also excellent for business owners who want a balance between work and peace, on the edge of Brainport Eindhoven and close to Belgium.
LAYOUT OF THE FARMHOUSE
GROUND FLOOR
The main home’s entrance is on the right side of the farmhouse, recognizable by the yellow mailbox. In the entry hall, which has an open ceiling (vide), you immediately see that this farmhouse is filled with light and space. On the right side of the hall are a guest toilet and a large bedroom, which could also be used as a playroom or hobby room.
At the back is the kitchen/dining area next to the garden, with a small stairway to a raised room and another stairway down to the wine/storage cellar. In the kitchen, there is space for a large, cozy dining table.
The heart of the farmhouse is the large living room with a wonderful fireplace in the center, a high open ceiling, and French doors to the garden. The impressive wooden beams and trusses give it a country feel.
The second home has its own entrance at the rear but can also be reached from inside the main house. On the ground floor, this second home has a living/dining room, a kitchen, and a storage/laundry room.
FIRST FLOOR
From the landing, you reach a very spacious floor with a total of five bedrooms and two bathrooms.
In the right wing, there is a large landing with an open ceiling. It was first used as a children’s play area and later as a study/office space. Here you will also find two large bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room, and a sauna.
In the left wing, accessible by its own staircase, there are three more bedrooms and another bathroom. Two of these bedrooms have a playful mezzanine, which children often use as a sleeping area.
OUTSIDE
The plot of about 1,975 m² is a green oasis, peaceful and spacious. There is ample parking on the property. The front garden gives the farmhouse plenty of privacy. The side and back gardens look like a small park, with big trees, wide flowerbeds, and a large lawn. Here, you can forget the rush of daily life and enjoy nature. In the garden, there is also a small Marian chapel and an old water well.
