Holiday house

The Forest House


A lovely spacious house in the Thiérache (western Ardennes) in a unique place by the forest. For 2 to 7 people. Completely secluded with an unobstructed view all around. 

Like an island in a sea of whisper-quiet forest. Last house on an almost pedestrian road through the large forest of Saint-Michel. Around the Boshuis is a garden of 8000m2 with lawn and trees (and a swing). Completely enclosed by a dense hedge. View from a large sun-drenched terrace.

Characteristic of this former forester's house is the rustic architectural style of the late 19th century. Solid walls and thorough insulation ensure a pleasant living environment in summer and winter. 

The Boshuis offers a lot of space. Downstairs is a modern kitchen that communicates with the dining room. Both overlook the terrace and garden on the southwest. Also on the ground floor is the breakfast area and next to it the sitting area with wood stove. To the left is a games corner with table and then a cozy living room. 

There are 2 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. 
On the ground floor is the studio, a 4th bedroom with private bathroom - also very suitable as a private study. 

The Boshuis is optimally insulated, consumes little energy in winter (heating with electric radiators - and there is the wood stove), in summer it remains pleasant inside.

Verified host
Marlies and Aernoud Witteveen have lived in Any-Martin-Rieux since 2003, 5 km from the Boshuis.
On a walk we had already seen this beautifully situated forester's house regularly. When it came up for sale in 2019, we didn't hesitate for a moment.
A charming house in a unique location, on the edge of the lovely forest of Saint-Michel.
Although we have renovated and adapted with an eye on views, comfort and energy, the original character of the house has been preserved.

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

The name of the region is Thiérache, a varied landscape of hedge-lined meadows, streams, hedgerows, blossoms and fields.

Typical are the small villages, built around fortified medieval churches. The tranquility is invigorating. Little car traffic, ideal for walkers.

Of a completely different order: the black-blue nights that make the stars stand out unprecedentedly bright, undamaged by light and air pollution.
