About Mammouthweg 8, Ens
The asking price of €850,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the plot of 8710 m² is exceptionally large for a detached house in this area. The price reflects the land value more than the house itself, which is a 1950s property with 133 m² of living space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the spacious, rural setting.
The energy label is E, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is the fifth of seven labels, meaning the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The label does not tell you exactly what causes the low rating, it could be the heating system, ventilation, or other factors, so it is worth looking into the specific installations.
The nearest train station is 13.8 km away, so this home is not well connected by rail. A car is almost essential for commuting or longer journeys. The area is rural, with limited public transport options.
There are three primary schools within about 3.5 to 3.8 km: De Regenboog (34 pupils), CBS Het Lichtschip (114 pupils), and Katholieke Basisschool De Horizon (125 pupils). For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.2 km away, so older children will need to travel further.
The property sits on a plot of 8710 m², which is a very large piece of land. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the size of the plot suggests ample outdoor space.

How residents experience their municipality
very many cultures, which is sometimes not pleasant. since talking to each other is then sometimes quite limited. also not very pleasant always to walk around at night

Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy neighbourhood where you can enjoy a lovely walk and the children can play freely
Auto-translated to English by AIVillage with amenities, supermarket, pharmacy, butcher and baker. GP practice. Easy-going village, green surroundings, Emmeloord nearby. Short distance from the Wieden and Weerribben. Motorway A6 nearby. And still plenty of space for residents in the village.
Auto-translated to English by AICould be a bit greener
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, greet each other. In case of emergency, they're there for everyone. Quite a white neighbourhood though. Streets and pavements are clean, almost no dog poo. You can moor your boat in the little harbour without paying mooring fees and you can walk straight into the park, where there are also football goals set up. A really good neighbourhood, so!!
