Surprisingly spacious (kangaroo-style) home with a horse pasture, 6 bedrooms, a spacious basement, and a double garage, in a unique location on the edge of the forest in Lanaken-Gellik
This exceptionally spacious and versatile home is situated on a beautiful, deep lot on the edge of the forest in Lanaken-Gellik. With no fewer than six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double in-house garage, and a multifunctional basement, this property offers exceptional possibilities for large or blended families, living and working under one roof, or keeping animals.
The basement has its own entrance and can be used completely independently as a separate living unit, featuring two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. This level also serves as an ideal solution for a practice space, home office, or guesthouse.
The deep lot, measuring 22a 21ca (2,221m²), borders directly on the forest and is particularly well-suited for horse lovers —currently, alpacas are kept here. The rear of the property is accessible by car and/or trailer via an entrance on Kloosterbospad, which can be reached a short distance away on Bergstraat.
The outdoors is also a delight. The heated pool, equipped with a heat pump and supported by solar panels, is a wonderful spot for relaxation and that vacation feeling in your own backyard during the warmer months.
Gellik offers the best of both worlds. Here, you live on the edge of nature, while the vibrant city of Maastricht is just a few minutes’ drive away. This unique combination makes this location particularly attractive for those seeking peace and quiet but who still want to be close to the city.
The landscape and the Albert Canal provide a beloved backdrop for cyclists, hikers, and runners. Whether you’re jogging along the water in the morning, taking a leisurely evening stroll, or enjoying the fresh air with your dog—outdoor living comes naturally here.
Gellik also scores well in terms of amenities; there’s a preschool and elementary school, an art and music academy, and a supermarket. In short: a place where you can catch your breath, but never have to stand still.
