Verspreide huizen Ballum, Ameland
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Klaverweide sits in the quiet outskirts of Ballum, surrounded by the wide skies and open landscape of Ameland. With 113 m² of living space and a generous plot of 705 m², there is plenty of room to spread out. The price of €895,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Ameland, reflecting the large plot and the island's limited supply. Detached houses in Ameland are scarce, so this one stands out.
The neighbourhood, the Verspreide huizen Ballum neighbourhood, is a small, scattered settlement with just 70 residents. Based on one review, the community scores 7.75 out of 10. One resident says: "A lot of togetherness and safety; if something is wrong, we help each other. When necessary, we help each other and we also greet everyone we meet." Most homes are owner-occupied (75%) and single-family (64%), so the area feels stable and family-oriented. With an address density of just 115 per km², it is the least urban setting you can imagine.
For your morning bread, the SPAR is just around the corner, a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool 't Ienster, is also a short walk. For secondary education, you would need to travel about 5.5 km to the nearest school. A GP is a ten-minute walk away, and the nearest restaurant is similarly close. The train station is 41 km away, but that is on the mainland, so a ferry ride is part of the journey. The municipality of Ameland offers a quiet, self-contained island life.

About Klaverweide 312, Ballum
The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Ameland. The large plot of 705 m² is a key factor, as such spacious plots are rare on the island. The home itself has 113 m² of living space and an energy label C, which is average for its age (1968). Given the limited supply of detached houses in the municipality, the price reflects the scarcity and the generous outdoor space.
Verspreide huizen Ballum is a tiny, scattered settlement with only 70 residents. It is extremely quiet and rural, with the lowest possible urbanity level. Residents describe a strong sense of togetherness and safety, where people help each other and greet everyone they meet. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area is family-friendly. There are no shops or amenities within the neighbourhood itself, but Ballum village centre is a short walk away.
The nearest supermarket is the SPAR, located about 600 metres away, just around the corner. For a larger selection, the PLUS is about 3.9 km away in the village of Nes. Daily groceries are easily within reach on foot or by bike.
The closest primary school is Openbare Basisschool 't Ienster, about 800 metres away, a ten-minute walk. Two other primary schools are within 4 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.5 km away, so older children would need to travel to Nes or further.
The nearest train station is 41 km away, on the mainland. To reach it, you would need to take a ferry from Nes to Holwerd and then a bus or taxi. Within the island, buses connect the villages, but a car or bike is more practical for daily life.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1968. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy bills, though improvements like better insulation or solar panels could improve the label and reduce costs.
However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so you would need to check the exact layout with the agent. The large plot certainly offers plenty of outdoor space.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 113 m² of living space, a detached house of this size usually has three to four bedrooms, but you would need to confirm the layout with the agent.
