A grand detached home in a leafy setting
This is a home with real presence. Set on a generous plot in Soesterberg, the 1923 villa combines period character with a modern energy label B. At €1,995,000 it is the most expensive of the 14 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits well above the local average asking price of €744,532, a reflection of its size and land. For context, detached houses in Soest are rare, and this one stands out.
The Leusderheide neighbourhood
Leusderheide is a quiet, green pocket of Soesterberg with just 450 residents. It is a very rural area, the address density is low, and almost all homes (97%) are single-family houses, mostly owner-occupied (86%). The population is a mix of ages, with a slight tilt towards 25-45 year olds. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so the picture comes from the data: a small, close-knit community where peace and space are the main draws. The Leusderheide neighbourhood is one of the least urbanised parts of the municipality.
Life on the street
Daily errands require a car or bike. The nearest supermarket, a SPAR express, is a couple of streets away, and a full-size PLUS is a ten-minute drive. For school runs, Kindcentrum de Startbaan (primary) is about a five-minute drive, while secondary schools like Van Lodenstein College are within a couple of kilometres. A restaurant is just around the corner, and the train station is 4.8 km away, fine for occasional trips but not a daily commute. The municipality of Soest covers a largely green, residential area.
