NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Grote Christoffelstraat sits in the quiet village of Retranchement, surrounded by polders and close to the Belgian border. With 72 m² of living space and a generous 551 m² plot, it offers a rare chance to live in a truly rural setting.

About Grote Christoffelstraat 28, Retranchement
The asking price of €625,000 is on the high side compared to other homes in Verspreide huizen Retranchement. However, the 551 m² plot and detached type are rare in this area, which may justify the premium. There are no recent sales figures for the immediate neighbourhood, so it is hard to say exactly how the market values this combination of small house and large plot.
The home has energy label D. That means it is not particularly efficient, you can expect higher energy costs than a modern home with label A or B. The house was built in 1977, so insulation and heating systems may be dated. It is worth checking the exact energy performance certificate for details on specific measures.
The nearest train station is 57.9 km away, so this is not a location for commuting by rail. You would rely entirely on a car for longer journeys. The area is very rural, with no direct public transport links to major cities.
