About Alphensebaan 18, Chaam
The asking price is €1,295,000, which is 131% above the average asking price in Buitengebied Chaam (€560,429). It is also the most expensive home currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the plot of 15,480 m² is exceptionally large, and the house itself is a detached property with 198 m² of floor space. Recently sold homes in the area averaged €1,042,841, so the price is on the high side but reflects the unique land size.
The plot measures 15,480 m², which is very generous for a detached house. This gives you plenty of garden space, privacy, and potential for landscaping, a vegetable patch, or even keeping animals, subject to local regulations. The house itself has 198 m² of living space, so there is ample room indoors as well.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower energy bills compared to older homes with labels D or lower. The house was built in 1987, so it likely has some insulation and double glazing, though not to modern standards. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have label B, so this is in line with the local stock.
The nearest train station is 13.4 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would need a car or bicycle to reach the station. The area is very rural, with a low address density, so a car is almost essential for getting around.
The nearest primary school is Roomskatholieke Basisschool De Driesprong in Chaam, about 2 km away. Another option is Het Beekdal, around 2.8 km away. For secondary education, the closest school is 8.4 km away, so older children would need to travel further. There are also several other primary schools within 5 km.
The nearest supermarkets are in Chaam village: Coop at 2.2 km and Lidl at 2.3 km. A bit further, at 4.7 km, there is a PLUS supermarket. For a wider choice, you would drive to nearby towns. Daily shopping is doable by car or bicycle, but not really on foot.
The neighbourhood recorded 60 total crimes in the latest data, which for a population of 1,260 is relatively low. The area is very rural and quiet, so serious crime is uncommon. As with any rural area, you may want to secure outbuildings and vehicles, but overall it is a safe place to live.
Given the high price and large plot, this home appeals to buyers looking for space, privacy, and a rural lifestyle. It is likely to attract families or older couples who want a detached house with land, and who are not dependent on public transport. The neighbourhood has many older residents and couples without children, so the area suits those seeking peace and quiet.
