About Leeuwte 3, Ruinen
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in De Wolden, but the plot of 33,135 m² is exceptional. For a home with 188 m² of living space and an E energy label, you are paying a premium for the land. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the enormous garden and rural setting.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The house was built in 1970, so insulation and glazing may need attention. It is worth checking the exact energy performance certificate for details.
The nearest train station is 9.3 km away. That is about a 15-minute drive or a longer bike ride. Public transport connections are limited in this rural area, so a car is almost essential for commuting.
Leeuwte is a tiny hamlet with only 75 residents, mostly families and couples. It is extremely quiet and rural, with very low crime and lots of nature. There are no shops or schools within walking distance, so you need a car for daily errands.
The plot is 33,135 m², which is enormous. That gives you plenty of space for a large garden, possibly even a small forest or meadow. The exact layout of the garden is not described in the listing, but the size alone is a major feature.
The nearest primary school is Obs het Rastholt, about 6 km away. Secondary schools are further, at 9.5 km. School runs will require driving or a long bike ride. The area is more suited to families who do not mind the travel.
