On the Road to Zwartberg 65 in Houthalen there is a ready-to-use commercial property with living (or 2 holiday apartments). This commercial property excels by its size and versatile layout. With approximately 400 m2 of space, large open spaces and several separate zones, the building offers interesting opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors. The combination of commercial space, rental vacation rentals and/or accommodation enables different forms of use within one unit.
In the past, the building has already had several interpretations, including a pharmacy, ice cream parlour and brasserie. The large open spaces and the division make various professional concepts imaginable, such as offices, a health or fitness centre or practice rooms for a doctor, dentist or physicist.
The property dates from 1972 and is located on a plot of 1,262 m2. The current division consists of approximately 190 m2 of commercial space on the ground floor, with a further 60 m2 on the second floor that can be involved in the business. In addition, there is a living / apartment of about 90 m2 on the first floor and a separate apartment of about 50 m2 on the ground floor. Both apartments are currently successfully rented as holiday homes and therefore contribute to the profitability. You want to build your business quietly and still have guaranteed sales? Then this is the ideal combination.
On the ground floor is located in front of the spacious commercial shop, currently furnished in function of catering. The consumption area is approximately 140 m2 and is supplemented by a kitchen of 25 m2. The large open zones allow the establishment to adapt to future activity. There are also several accesses (wheelchair access), a storage room and extensive sanitary facilities. Above this trading area is a large meeting room of approximately 60 m2. This space gives the professional area extra flexibility. For example, think of a meeting room, administrative department, office space or additional consumption room. For example, a future operator can practically organize the different floors according to the chosen concept.
In 2022 a separate holiday apartment was furnished on the ground floor, consisting of a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom, following a terrace. On the first floor we find the second living area of about 90 m2. This floor consists of a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet and a spacious hall. The living room also has a balcony. Living and working can be combined at the same address.
There is also a lot of supporting space underground. The basement has an area of 73 m2 and consists of several cellar spaces, an underground garage and a section crawl cellar. For a commercial activity this floor can be practical for stock, material or other supporting functions. The different levels thus ensure a clear separation between commercial, administrative, residential and storage functions.
The plot of 1,262 m2 has both front and rear parking. This is an important practical asset for visitors, customers and employees. In the front is also space to provide a large terrace with outdoor seating. There is already a large canopy. The location on a connecting road also ensures good visibility and accessibility.
The location also supports the versatile character of the property. The motorway is about 2.3 km away. Shops, schools, relaxation facilities are all within 1 km radius. The property is also located in Park Midden-Limburg, between recreational areas Hengelhoef, Kelchterhoef and Bokrijk, and there is also activity in the area. Clients guaranteed.
If you are looking for a spacious trading house in which entrepreneurship, work, meetings and stays can be combined, you will find on the Road to Zwartberg 65 a very versatile whole. This property offers a strong base to shape its own professional design. Come and see how the different spaces can fit in with your plans.
