NeighbourhoodThis detached house on De Berken sits in a quiet part of Koekange, a village in the municipality of De Wolden. With a floor area of 129 m² and a generous plot of 698 m², there is plenty of room both inside and out. The home was built in 1993 and has an energy label B, so heating costs are manageable. At €619,000, the price is in line with the market for detached houses in De Wolden.
Koekange is a small village with about 1,135 residents, mostly families and older couples. The housing stock is dominated by single-family homes, and 72% are owner-occupied. One resident describes the village as 'very racist' and says 'many farmers who can't handle it when you form your own opinion.' They also mention that 'refugees in our village are simply called names like black dogs by children' and that 'this is a village that accepts nothing from outside and is extremely racist.' This is based on a single review, so it may not reflect everyone's experience. The neighbourhood has a low address density, giving it a rural feel. For more context, see the municipality of De Wolden.
For daily groceries, the Coop is just around the corner, and there are a couple of other supermarkets within a short drive. Two primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool De Rozebottel and Prins Johan Frisoschool voor Christelijk Basisonderwijs, both a few minutes' walk away. The village has a GP practice nearby, and a restaurant is a short stroll from home. For secondary education, children need to travel about 10 km, and the nearest train station is 10.8 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van Ditshuizen Makelaardij O.G. B.V.

Many farmers who can't handle it when you form your own opinion. Refugees in our village are simply called names like black dogs by children. This is not new! This is a village that accepts nothing from outside and is extremely racist. I also smoke a joint for pain, but I'm treated like a junkie and immediately assumed to be a dealer? Bad experiences with people from the neighbourhood because they only accept their own. Hardly anything to do for young people, especially if you're 18+. I attended both primary schools; I was bullied at the OBS, and the CBS was also a bad environment for a child.

About De Berken 33, Koekange
The asking price of €619,000 is in line with the market for detached houses in De Wolden. The home has a floor area of 129 m² and a large plot of 698 m², which adds value. Energy label B means reasonable energy costs. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but the price appears competitive for the area.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. This means the home has good insulation and relatively low heating costs compared to older homes with labels E, F or G. You can expect a comfortable indoor climate without excessive energy bills.
The plot measures 698 m², which is generous for a detached house. This gives you plenty of outdoor space for a garden, patio, or even a small vegetable patch. The exact layout and possibilities depend on local zoning rules, but the size offers flexibility.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool De Rozebottel (326 m) and Prins Johan Frisoschool voor Christelijk Basisonderwijs (370 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 10 km away, so a bike or car ride is needed.
The nearest supermarket is Coop, just 597 m away, a five-minute walk. There are a few other supermarkets within a 5 km radius, including another Coop, SPAR, PLUS and Albert Heijn, so daily shopping is convenient.
Koekange is a small, rural village with mostly single-family homes and a high owner-occupancy rate. It's quiet and family-oriented, but one resident has reported negative experiences with racism and a closed-minded attitude. The village has limited amenities for young adults, but basic services like a GP and supermarket are nearby.
The nearest train station is 10.8 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it. For daily commuting, a car is likely the most practical option.
The house was built in 1993, so it is relatively modern. With energy label B, it likely has good insulation and double glazing. The condition is not detailed in the listing, but a 1993 build is generally in decent shape.
