Spacious property with development potential

Description

The former Asper Almshouse, founded in 1863, is a unique piece of heritage with a rich history. This exceptional property, situated on a spacious lot (7,406 m²), lies on the border between Asper and Zingem, adjacent to—and offering panoramic views of—the Scheldevalei nature reserve. A particularly peaceful setting. A central and easily accessible location (15 minutes from Ghent South, Waregem, or Deinze) with public transportation nearby (Zingem train station 5 minutes away and the Oudenaarde-Ghent-Zottegem-Waregem bus stop 2 minutes away). Currently, the property serves as a combination of residential and commercial space. This use can be retained, but there is a written agreement from IOED Leieschelde and the local government to develop the site into four luxury apartments (approx. 230 m² each) with a garden and terrace (preliminary design available). The existing barns can be converted into communal facilities such as bicycle storage, trash storage, or a covered terrace. In addition, the warehouse offers potential for storing business supplies, classic cars, etc. The building has a symmetrical layout and has been largely preserved according to the original plans, with a few frescoes still present in the former chapel. The main residence has a partial basement, while the later addition has a full basement. The attic is authentic, featuring Boom-style tiles and exposed roof trusses.
