Aldlânsdyk 21
Buitengebied Jelsum, Leeuwarden
A grand estate in the Jelsum countryside
This detached home sits on a remarkable plot of over 3.6 hectares, surrounded by the peace and quiet of the Jelsum countryside. The house itself dates from 1900 but has been brought up to modern standards with an A++ energy label. At €1,289,000, the price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Leeuwarden, but the sheer size of the land makes it a rare offering.
The Buitengebied Jelsum neighbourhood
The neighbourhood Buitengebied Jelsum is a thinly populated rural area with just 140 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied (74%) and nearly all are single-family houses (98%). The population is older, with a third aged 65 or over, and households are mostly couples without children or singles. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so the character is best described as quiet and spacious.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, you have a choice of supermarkets within a couple of streets away: Aldi, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are all about a five-minute walk from the home. The nearest primary school, Professor Wassenberghskoalle, is just around the corner, while several other schools are within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Leeuwarden offers further amenities, but here in Jelsum you are truly in the countryside.

Frequently asked questions
About Aldlânsdyk 21, Jelsum
Is €1,289,000 a fair price for this home?
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Leeuwarden, but the plot of 36,210 m² is exceptionally large. There are no comparable sales figures for the immediate neighbourhood, so the value lies mainly in the land and the rural setting.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has an energy label A++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the property is very energy-efficient, with low heating costs and a minimal environmental footprint. Given the age of the house (1900), it has clearly been thoroughly modernised.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 5.56 km away. That is about a ten-minute drive or a 45-minute walk. Public transport connections are limited in this rural area, so a car is almost essential.
