Verspreide huizen, Gulpen-Wittem
NeighbourhoodThis 1850s detached house on Diependalsweg sits in the quiet countryside of Epen, a village in the hilly landscape of South Limburg. With 98 m² of living space and a generous plot of 895 m², it offers a rare combination of historic character and outdoor space. The energy label E means heating costs will be noticeable, but the charm of a 19th-century home is hard to beat. At €695,000, the price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Gulpen-Wittem, partly because of the large plot.
The neighbourhood 'Verspreide huizen' lives up to its name: it's a collection of farmhouses and homes spread across the fields and hills around Epen. With only 195 residents, it's very quiet, the address density is just 54 per km², making it one of the least urbanised areas in the country. Most homes are owner-occupied (78%) and almost all are single-family houses (92%). The population is mixed, with a fair share of families and older residents. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, but the area speaks for itself: peace, space and nature. For more on the area, see municipality Gulpen-Wittem.
For your daily bread, the nearest supermarket is a PLUS about 1.7 km away, a short drive or a pleasant walk. There's also an Aldi and a SPAR within a few kilometres. Primary school children can go to Basisschool à Hermkes, just under 1.5 km away, or Basisschool Witheim. Secondary education is further afield: the nearest school is Sophianum SGM in Gulpen, about 5.3 km. A restaurant is 1.6 km away, so you can enjoy a meal out without going far.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Damen Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Diependalsweg 8, Epen
The asking price of €695,000 is on the high side for a 98 m² detached home in this area, but the large plot of 895 m² is a key factor. Comparable homes in Gulpen-Wittem with similar land often command a premium. Without recent sale data for this specific street, it's hard to say exactly, but the price reflects the rarity of a historic house with so much outdoor space.
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home, especially in winter. The house dates from 1850, so insulation and glazing may be limited. It's worth budgeting for energy costs and considering future improvements, though no specific measures are mentioned in the listing.
The nearest train station is 13 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would need a car or bus to reach the station. The area is very rural, with a low address density, so public transport is limited.
Verspreide huizen is a quiet, rural area with few residents. About 30% of households have children, and there are primary schools within 2-5 km. The nearest secondary school is 7.8 km away, so older children will need transport. The area is safe, with only 9 reported crimes, and offers plenty of space for outdoor play.
The nearest supermarket (PLUS) is 1.7 km away, and there are several others within 6-8 km. A restaurant is 1.6 km away, and a GP is 4.2 km. For more extensive shopping or entertainment, you would need to drive to larger towns like Gulpen or Heerlen.
The plot is 895 m², which is large for a home of this size. While the listing does not specify a garden, the land around the house likely includes outdoor space. Given the rural setting, you can expect a private, green environment, but exact details are not provided.
