24 HA of recreational land in nature to build eco-holiday park Chêne Houdiez, Peissant-Estinnes

Exceptionally beautiful land of over 2.4 HA (!) entirely in receation zone, located in a forest massif of several hundred hectares completely surrounded by agricultural land.
This particular landscape is part of the municipality of Estinnes and the Haute-Sambre nature reserve. The French border is pretty much within walking distance.
This site has huge development potential.

In the 1970s, the ’Chêne Houdiez« estate was to be developed in phases into a holiday park for 146 chalets and 151 mobile homes. That project was never fully realised.
Several places on the site still have some usable relics of infrastructure built at the time, including a water treatment plant and RTT connection (RTT is today's Proximus). A gatehouse and 26 stone cottages were built along the outer borders.

In 1999, the gatehouse and the 26 holiday homes were sold to private individuals for permanent residence. These properties were split off from the rest of the estate and have since become part of the nearby village of Peissant (municipality of Estinnes).
A long asphalt road with street lighting runs across the estate from east to west. A right-of-way has been established on that road for the benefit of the permanent residents.

In February 2025, favourable advice was given for the construction of 100 eco-lodges on stilts and the construction of a large swimming pond, by way of extension to the permit applied for and obtained for the construction of 44 eco-lodges on stilts, among others.
Building on stilts is meant to continue enjoying the wide variety of wild orchids, blue wood hyacinths and other special ground covers.

Due to its important botanical and geological value in this recreational land only suitable for the development of projects grafted on «Eco-tourism».

The municipality is open to projects derived from the current licence, e.g. :

-100 two- to six-bed eco-lodges with terrace, built on stilts;
-a multifunctional building with reception, hotel rooms and community areas for guests;
-a room for all kinds of pedagogical activities, such as 'forest classes';
-a petting zoo with goats, sheep, chickens, etc. ;
-a network of footpaths made of woodchips;
-maintenance and rehabilitation of the existing (original) vegetation, such as the heathland, special deciduous trees, ground plants like wood hyacinths and lily-of-the-valley;
-ecological sports and play park for children (tree crown path, observation towers, VVT, etc.);
-renovation of the existing tennis grounds and construction of a spa;
-expansion of the existing car park, installation of a washroom and an area for separate waste disposal;
-to establish part of the site as a transient campsite.

Pipes for water and electricity are laid to the park's entrance (up to the property boundary) and can be extended from there to the structures to be built.

There is a video presentation on our website www.estimax.be. It accompanies the permit already obtained and is a simulation of what the eco-park would look like if you use the existing building file. The video also serves as inspiration for your own alternative project.
The facilities and amenities indicated here largely relate to the future situation.

At the bottom of the estate is the welcoming village of Peissant, with its bell tower and cosy village pub where you can have a good time, all ‘à la Française’.

This is the transfer of the shares of a debt-free company. The shares include this recreational site with all its buildings, the complete construction file and the permits obtained.
