Heerenbeek 1

A grand country retreat

This 1864 detached house sits on a generous plot in the rural outskirts of Oirschot, surrounded by fields and woodland. With 490 m² of living space, it is more than twice the size of the average home in the area. At €2,950,000, the asking price is 96% above the neighbourhood average of €1,504,667, making it the most expensive of the three homes currently for sale here. For context, detached houses in Oirschot typically command a premium, but this property is in a league of its own.

The Verspreide huizen Noord en De Mortelen neighbourhood

This is a thinly populated area with just 475 residents and an address density of 230, the lowest urbanity level. Most homes are owner-occupied (85%) and nearly all are single-family houses (96%). Households with children make up a significant share, and the average household size is 2.6 people. It is a quiet, green setting where you are more likely to hear birds than traffic. The Verspreide huizen Noord en De Mortelen neighbourhood is essentially a collection of farms and country estates, so privacy and space are the main draws.

Life on the street

Daily errands require a car. The nearest supermarket, a Coop, is a ten-minute drive away, and the closest primary school, Speelleercentrum De Oversteek, is about the same distance. For secondary education, you would head to Oirschot or Best, roughly 4 km away. There are several other primary schools within a 5 km radius, including Basisschool De Klim and Dalton Kindcentrum AvontuurRijk. The area is part of the municipality of Oirschot, which offers a historic town centre with restaurants, a library and a park all within a few kilometres.
