Exclusive Knokke Duplex Penthouse: A Luxurious Interior Tour
A luxury duplex penthouse in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, has been listed for sale at €12.5 million, according to a report by L’Echo. The property, located on the 12th and 13th floors of the Ocean Club complex, features panoramic sea views, a private terrace, and a 200-square-meter living area, as described in the publication. The listing was confirmed by the real estate agency Immoweb, which cited the seller’s representative as stating the price reflects the “high demand for premium coastal properties in the region.”
The penthouse, spanning 450 square meters, includes four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. A 12-meter swimming pool and access to the complex’s spa and wellness facilities are also highlighted in the listing. The property’s location on the Belgian coast, near the French border, positions it as part of a growing market for high-net-worth individuals seeking coastal residences, according to real estate analysts quoted in the Belgian newspaper De Tijd.
Immoweb’s database shows the Ocean Club complex has seen a 15% increase in average sale prices over the past two years, driven by demand from Dutch and French buyers. A spokesperson for the agency, Marie D’Hondt, noted that the penthouse’s unique combination of privacy and amenities sets it apart from other listings in the area. “This property caters to clients looking for exclusivity without compromising on luxury,” D’Hondt said.
Local real estate experts suggest the price tag aligns with recent trends in northern Belgium. A 2023 report by the KBC Bank’s real estate division noted that high-end properties in coastal zones like Knokke have outperformed urban markets, with sales volumes rising by 8% year-on-year. However, the report also cautioned that such prices remain concentrated among a small segment of buyers, with financing often involving offshore accounts or private equity funds.
The seller’s identity has not been disclosed, and no official sale date has been announced. A representative for the Ocean Club management did not respond to requests for comment. The property is currently available for private viewings, with the listing expected to remain active until the end of the year.
