Echten, De Wolden
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Ruinerweg dates back to 1632, making it one of the oldest homes in the area. With 169 m² of living space and a huge plot of 2640 m², it offers a rare combination of character and space. The energy label is G, so expect high heating costs. At €400,000, the price is in line with other detached houses in De Wolden.
Echten is a tiny village with just over 200 residents. One resident says: "If you think of rural living, this is where you end up. There's a school for the youngest villagers. Otherwise wonderfully quiet, and having to go to another place for groceries is just the way it is! Here you can still put things outside and enjoy the sheep in the meadow." The neighbourhood is mostly families and couples, with a very low density of 41 addresses per km². This is the municipality De Wolden at its most peaceful.
For daily groceries, the nearest SPAR is a couple of streets away, about 2.2 km. There's also an Albert Heijn and a PLUS within a ten-minute drive. The local primary school, Montessorischool Het Element, is just around the corner, and a child daycare is equally close. For secondary school, children travel about 7 km. A restaurant is a five-minute walk away, and the nearest train station is 7.4 km.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Jouw Makelaar Sandra Scholten and also appears on other channels. The agent has not published full details on the interior layout or recent renovations, so it's worth viewing in person to assess the condition.
