The farmstead Ter Eijken was then owned by the Gemert Commandery of the Teutonic Order and was rented out.

The Ter Eijken farmstead was split into several separate farms by successive inheritances. In 1716 there were 5 houses, all located on the north side of the road. It was not until the nineteenth century that construction occurred on the south side of Tereijken, but the number of houses hardly grew in recent centuries.
