Elp, Midden-Drenthe
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Hoofdstraat sits on a generous plot of 4530 m², offering space and privacy in the small village of Elp. The house itself is 152 m² and was built in 1938, but with an A+++ energy label it is remarkably efficient. At €825,000, the price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Midden-Drenthe, reflecting the large plot and modern energy performance.
Elp is a tiny village with about 340 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and nearly all are single-family houses. It is a quiet, rural setting with a high proportion of older residents and few children. One resident says: "It's very peaceful here, but you need a car for everything." The village has very few amenities, so daily life revolves around the surrounding countryside.
For daily shopping, you'll drive about 4.5 km to the nearest supermarkets: Lidl and Jumbo are both just around the corner by car. The closest primary schools are Kindcentrum De Wegwijzer and IKC de Lindelaar, each about 4 km away. For secondary education, you'll need to travel about 10.5 km. The nearest train station is 10.9 km away, so a car is essential. The municipality Midden-Drenthe covers a wide rural area with small villages like Elp.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Oosting Makelaars.

About Hoofdstraat 16, Elp
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Midden-Drenthe, but the large plot of 4530 m² and the A+++ energy label are exceptional for a 1938 home. The house itself is 152 m², so you are paying primarily for the land and the energy efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating costs and a minimal environmental footprint. For a house built in 1938, this is unusual and suggests significant modernisation.
The plot is 4530 m², which is very large for a detached home. It offers plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities, or even additional structures, subject to local planning permission. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing.
