Holysloot, Amsterdam
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Dorpsstraat Holysloot sits in one of Amsterdam's most rural corners, surrounded by meadows and water. With 94 m² of living space and a generous plot of 785 m², it offers a rare combination of village calm and city ownership. The price of €795,000 is in line with the market for detached houses in Amsterdam.
Holysloot is a tiny hamlet within Amsterdam's Waterland district, with just 280 residents and a strong sense of community. Most homes are owner-occupied and family-sized, and the area is exceptionally quiet, urbanity level 5 means very low density. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, but the figures speak for themselves: mostly families and older residents, with very few single-person households.
Daily shopping requires a drive: the nearest supermarket, an Albert Heijn, is about 4 km away, and a Dekamarkt is just under 5 km. For primary education, Basisschool De Overhaal is 2 km away, and Basisschool De Havenrakkers is about 3 km. The area is ideal for those who enjoy peace and quiet, but you'll need a car for most errands. The municipality of Amsterdam provides the usual city services, but here you're truly in the countryside.
This home is listed through several channels, including Hoekstra en van Eck and their Monnickendam office on Funda and Pararius. At present, the listing is available via four sources.

About Dorpsstraat Holysloot 52, Amsterdam
The price is in line with the market for detached houses in Amsterdam, especially considering the large plot of 785 m². The home has 94 m² of living space and an energy label D, which means moderate efficiency. Without neighbourhood sales data, it's hard to compare directly, but the combination of a rural setting and a spacious plot makes it a distinctive offering.
The energy label is D, which is average for a house built in 1989. You can expect reasonable insulation and heating costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's characteristics at the time of construction.
The nearest train station is 10.2 km away, so this home is not well suited for daily commuting by train. A car or bicycle is essential for getting around, though the rural surroundings are perfect for those who enjoy driving.
The closest primary school is Basisschool De Overhaal, 2.1 km away. Other options within 5 km include Basisschool De Havenrakkers (3.2 km) and De Weidevogel (3.3 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 7.2 km away, so older children will need transport.
The plot is 785 m², which typically includes garden space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 4.1 km, followed by a Dekamarkt at 4.7 km. For daily shopping, a car is necessary. There are no supermarkets within walking distance.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 94 m² of living space, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but this is not confirmed. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
