Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

About Dorpsstraat 37, Havelte
The asking price of €950,000 is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €645,700. However, this home is larger (246 m² vs 190 m² average) and has an A+++ energy label, which is rare in the area. The price per m² is about €3,862, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,627. So it's on the high side, but the extra space and efficiency justify some of the premium.
The home has an energy label A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means it is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating costs. In the neighbourhood, only 12.5% of homes have label A+ or better, so this is a standout feature. The home likely has excellent insulation, a heat pump, and possibly solar panels.
The plot measures 805 m². The listing does not specify a garden or terrace, but the size suggests ample outdoor space.
