Ruscher 1
Verspreide huizen, Beekdaelen
AreaA grand home in a quiet corner of Schinveld
This detached house on Ruscher 1 sits in the Verspreide huizen area of Schinveld, a part of the municipality of Beekdaelen where the countryside feels close and the pace of life is unhurried. With around 70 residents spread across the area, it is a place where space is the norm rather than the exception. The asking price of €995,000 works out at €975 per square metre based on the agent's listed floor area, which is on the high side compared with the wider market for detached houses in Beekdaelen.
A house with history and room to spare
Built in 1900, this home has 17 rooms spread over two floors, including 11 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The living area is substantial: the agent lists it at 1,021 m², while the BAG registration records 1,116 m². The plot measures 9,065 m² according to both the agent and the BAG. The energy label is C, which means the home sits in the middle of the efficiency range, so heating costs will be moderate rather than minimal.
The Verspreide huizen area
This is a sparsely populated corner of Beekdaelen, with an address density of just 125 per square kilometre, which makes it one of the least urban areas in the country. Residents across the municipality of Beekdaelen give their living environment an average score of 7.45, based on five reviews. One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood where you have a fairly free feeling with a lot of nature around the corner. Only the maintenance has deteriorated heavily in recent years." Another adds: "Beautiful neighbourhood where many people want to stay. Unfortunately, few houses come up for sale and those that do are often detached and relatively large, making them unaffordable for first-time buyers." The reviews reflect the wider municipality rather than this specific neighbourhood, so they give a sense of the region more than the immediate surroundings.

What is the WOZ value of this property?
The WOZ value for this property is not stated in the records available to us. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for tax purposes, and it is set on a reference date each year.
