Golden Damselfly

Formerly a parish, this exquisitely renovated home provides the perfect escape for families and large groups. You'll find it tucked away in the village of Chiny and impressing from the outset with its honey-hued, chateau-inspired facade.

You'll feel like royalty as soon as you step through the front door. The interior exudes elegance, with high ceilings, hardwood floors and sweeping archways, creating a free-flowing living space primed for relaxation. Large windows usher in floods of sunlight while offering picturesque garden views, and we love the vintage details, from the plush leather sofas to the majestic bookshelves and the spacious dining table, perfect for dinner parties.

However, the real highlight is the outdoor space. Ample in grounds and amenities, the garden is landscaped to perfection and beckons you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Simmer down in the sauna, enjoy a game of boules on the private court or simply relax on the lawn while the little ones play on the trampoline.

Here, you're well-positioned to explore the Wallonia region. Explore the picturesque villages of Florenville and Tintigny, ten minutes away by car, or make the most of this home's bike storage and enjoy long cycles through the wild, untouched beauty of the Belgian-Ardennes. After a day of adventure, fire up the barbecue and gather on the patio for a delicious alfresco feast. Come sunset, retreat indoors for an after-dinner round of table tennis before snuggling up beside the glow of the fireplace.
