About De Rug 3-158, Lauwersoog
The asking price of €195,000 is on the keen side for a detached house in this part of Het Hogeland, especially given the large plot of 556 m². The energy label B also helps keep future costs down. However, the floor area is modest at 78 m², so it is a compact home. Overall, the price reflects good value for a quiet, rural location.
Lauwersmeer is a very small, quiet neighbourhood with only 145 residents. Most inhabitants are older, with 75% aged 65 or over. The area is extremely rural, with very few amenities within walking distance. It is ideal if you are looking for peace and space, but you will need a car for shopping, schools and other services.
The nearest supermarket is a PLUS at about 6 km from the house. There are no supermarkets within 5 km, so a car is essential for grocery shopping. The next closest options are SPAR at 7.9 km and Aldi and Jumbo at around 11 km.
The closest primary school is Christelijke Basisschool De Eker at about 5.9 km. Other primary schools within 10 km include s.w.s. De Zoutkamperril (8.2 km) and Skoalle mei de Bibel 'De Griffel' (8.5 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 17 km away, so commuting is necessary.
The nearest train station is 22.9 km from the house. This makes train travel impractical for daily commuting without a car or long bike ride. The area is best suited for those who rely on private transport.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and should have relatively low heating costs compared to older properties with lower labels. You can expect reasonable energy bills, though exact amounts depend on usage.
The property has a plot of 556 m², which includes outdoor space around the house. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the large plot suggests plenty of room for a garden, patio or other outdoor use. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
