NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Rijksstraatweg 44 dates back to 1600, making it one of the oldest properties in the area. With 440 m² of living space on a massive plot of 13,819 m², it offers rare scale and privacy. The price of €2,850,000 is on the high side, but that reflects the exceptional land size and the fact that detached houses in Utrecht of this calibre seldom come to market.

One resident describes it as 'Slightly above average', noting: 'Nice place, there is some crime at the industrial estate occasionally. There have also been break-ins here and in the houses in the neighbourhood.' They also mention friendly neighbours and enough primary schools nearby. The neighbourhood Bedrijvengebied Oudenrijn has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5), so it feels quiet and spacious.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner and Lidl is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including obs De Klimroos and Al Amana Leidsche Rijn. The nearest secondary school, Leidsche Rijn College, is about 2.2 km away. The municipality Utrecht offers plenty of green space, with a park or public garden just a five-minute walk from the house.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Drieklomp Makelaars en Rentmeesters Zeist and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

Nice place, there is some crime at the industrial estate occasionally. There have also been break-ins here and in the houses in the neighbourhood. I notice that in other neighbourhoods a lot of renovation and construction is going on, which I think is manageable here. That's also nice. We have friendly neighbours, although we sometimes have cigarette smoke nuisance from the neighbours. And a lot of dog barking. There isn't much litter. There are enough primary schools in the area, and a secondary school, the Leidsche Rijn College.

About Rijksstraatweg 44, De Meern
The price is on the high side, but that is justified by the enormous plot of 13,819 m² and the historic character of the house (built in 1600). Comparable detached homes in Utrecht rarely offer this much land, so the price reflects scarcity rather than being overvalued.
The energy label is E, which is below average for a home of this age. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. Given the building year (1600), improving the insulation may be challenging but could lower energy bills in the long run.
The neighbourhood has 82 reported crimes in the latest data, which is moderate. One resident mentions occasional crime at the industrial estate and some break-ins in the area. However, they also note friendly neighbours and that there isn't much litter.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: obs De Klimroos (439 m), Al Amana Leidsche Rijn (656 m), KBS De Achtbaan (881 m), and De Boomgaard (881 m). The nearest secondary school is Leidsche Rijn College, about 2.2 km away.
