Scheemdermeer, Oldambt
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Boslaan 13 in Midwolda sits on a huge plot of over 2.2 hectares, with 310 m² of living space and a 1920 character. It is the most expensive home currently for sale in the Scheemdermeer neighbourhood, at €799,000, 70% above the local average asking price of €469,500. That puts it in a different league from the other three properties on the market here, and it reflects the exceptional size and setting. For context, detached houses in Oldambt vary widely, but this one is clearly at the top end.
Scheemdermeer is a quiet, rural pocket of Oldambt with just 410 residents and a mix of families and older households. The area is almost entirely made up of single-family homes, and nearly nine in ten are owner-occupied. With an address density of just 337 per km², it is classified as non-urban, you get peace, space and a strong sense of community. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures paint a picture of a stable, family-oriented area. The Scheemdermeer neighbourhood is one where people tend to stay put.
Daily errands are straightforward: the nearest supermarket, an Aldi, is just under 1.4 km away, with a Jumbo and a PLUS. For primary schools, Openbare Basisschool Futura and CBS Annewieke are both within a 1.8 km walk. The train station is 2.4 km away, and a park or public garden is only 600 metres from the door. It is the kind of place where you drive or cycle for most trips, but the essentials are close enough for a quick walk. The municipality of Oldambt covers a wide rural area, and this home sits right in its green heart.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including Hoogveste B.V., Funda and Pararius. The asking price is €799,000, and given the size and land, it is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but then, there is nothing else quite like it on the market here.

About Boslaan 13, Midwolda
The asking price is 70% above the neighbourhood average of €469,500, making it the most expensive of the four homes currently for sale in Scheemdermeer. However, with 310 m² of living space and a 2.2-hectare plot, it is also far larger than the local average of 171 m². The price per square metre works out at about €2,577, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,903, so you are paying for sheer size rather than a premium per m².
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. In a neighbourhood where most homes for sale have better labels (25% label A, 50% label C), this one will have higher heating and electricity bills. The house dates from 1920, so it may have single glazing and poor insulation. You should expect significant energy costs, but the exact amount depends on usage and any improvements you make.
With 310 m² of floor area, this home is 81% larger than the neighbourhood average of 171 m². The plot of 22,165 m² is also exceptional, most homes in Scheemdermeer sit on much smaller plots. It is the largest home currently for sale in the area by a wide margin.
