Elsloo, Ooststellingwerf
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Hoofdweg sits in the quiet village of Elsloo, surrounded by fields and open skies. With 146 m² of living space and a generous plot of 3,630 m², there is plenty of room to spread out. The house dates from 1930 and has an energy label C, so some updating may be needed. Priced at €925,000, it is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Ooststellingwerf, but the large plot is a rare find.
Elsloo is a small, tight-knit community with about 350 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the village has a high proportion of families and older residents. It is a very rural area, with few amenities within walking distance. One resident says: "It's wonderfully quiet here, and everyone knows each other." Another notes: "You need a car for most things, but that's the trade-off for peace and quiet." The municipality Ooststellingwerf covers a wide, green region with plenty of cycling and walking routes.
For daily shopping, you would drive to Albert Heijn or Lidl, both about 6 km away. The nearest primary school, Dalton Basisschool de Oosterbrink, is 4.3 km from the house, and a second option, Openbare Basisschool "de Stelling", is 4.5 km away. A restaurant and a library are within a short drive, but for most errands, a car is essential. The nearest train station is 19.9 km away, so this is very much a car-dependent location.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via SNOEK Makelaars.

About Hoofdweg 19, Elsloo
The asking price is €925,000 for a detached home of 146 m² on a 3,630 m² plot. Compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Ooststellingwerf, this is on the high side, but the large plot is exceptional for the area. The home has an energy label C and dates from 1930, so some renovation may be factored into the price.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or a heat pump could lower them further.
The plot measures 3,630 m², which is very generous for a detached home. It offers plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities, or even a small hobby farm, subject to local planning rules. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing.
