Maren Kessel is a peaceful, rural village surrounded by nature, yet ideally located just 15 minutes from the lively city of ’s-Hertogenbosch and the town of Oss. Daily shopping is available in Lith (Plus supermarket, 5 minutes away) or Rosmalen (Albert Heijn, 10 minutes away). Most major supermarkets also offer home delivery. Recreational area De Lithse Ham, with its marina, is less than five minutes by car.
The village has a Roman Catholic primary school within walking distance (500 metres), and secondary schools are available in both Oss and ’s-Hertogenbosch. The latter also offers a wide range of vocational and higher education (mbo and hbo).

Ground Floor:
A stately panelled front door with transom window — featuring an ornamental Tree of Life — marks the central entrance. The hallway boasts a checkerboard-laid natural stone floor with access to the cellar, ideal for wine enthusiasts. Solid four-panel doors with classic ironwork open to the adjoining rooms.
To the right, a study with wide views of the surrounding countryside. On the left, a bright and sun-filled living room with panoramic garden views, a sandstone fireplace, high beamed ceilings, and an elegant floor made of antique railway wood. French doors at the rear open onto a sunny terrace.
The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a traditional L-shaped layout with hardstone worktops and built-in appliances. A high-end Smeg induction range with five burners and three ovens sits neatly under the mantel. The same natural stone flooring continues into the kitchen from the hall.
In 2005, the rear wing of the house underwent a major renovation. It now offers a 63 m2 garden room with oak flooring and two sets of French doors leading to the terrace. This light-filled space connects to a utility/laundry room and the side entrance — which is commonly used as a back entrance. A wellness area with sauna, shower, and toilet adjoins the garden room and is just steps from the pool. The entire rear wing benefits from underfloor heating.
First Floor
The original front section contains three double bedrooms, a study/guest room, and a bathroom. The front-facing rooms offer expansive views stretching to the Kesselse Dijk. The bathroom features a large skylight, a vanity unit, corner bathtub, separate shower, and toilet.
A hallway connects the front and rear wings, leading to the primary suite. This generous bedroom includes a gas fireplace and two sets of French doors opening onto a covered loggia. Adjacent are a walk-in closet and the second bathroom with underfloor heating, double vanity, freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, and a fourth toilet.

Additional Features
This former country estate is truly a family home — offering plenty of space for everyone to find their own quiet corner, while still retaining an inviting sense of togetherness.
The front section of the house lends itself perfectly to a home practice or cohabitation with parents or adult children. It was extensively and carefully renovated in 1997 with no expense spared — as evidenced by the copper gutters and downspouts. Where possible, hardwood window frames with high-efficiency glazing were installed. The ground floor was insulated and constructed in concrete, and the solid brick walls were reinforced with interior cladding.
After a fire in 2006, the rear wing was nearly completely rebuilt, insulated, and finished in accordance with modern building standards of that time.
The home is equipped with electric sunshades, a comprehensive alarm system, heat recovery ventilation, underfloor heating in parts of the home, two gas fireplaces, air conditioning in the rear wing, a remote-controlled gate, and automated garage doors.
The garden, designed by Puur Tuinarchitectuur, is a true oasis, with natural stone terraces interspersed with baked brick paths, mature trees, a lush lawn, and a large pond. Just behind the house — hidden behind an evergreen yew hedge near the fitness room — is a luxurious heated swimming pool by Starline, fully equipped and featuring a solar-powered cover.
To the right of the estate is a large, paved parking area for multiple vehicles. A remote-controlled gate opens to a private lane leading to the garages and rear garden, flanked by stunning amber trees.
The garage is almost camouflaged by beech columns and Virginia creeper, blending seamlessly into the landscape. Behind it are two garages, an insulated utility shed housing the pool systems, and a garden storage room.
At the rear of the ornamental garden lies a traditional orchard filled with a variety of fruit trees. The owners sow wildflower mixtures here and mow a meandering walking path.
The home has been extensively and thoughtfully made more energy-efficient and is in excellent condition throughout.
A recent building inspection by Monumentenwacht Noord-Brabant is available for review upon request.

If you are looking for a unique, spacious, and comfortable home — ideal for living, working, or accommodating several generations — this country estate deserves your visit.
