Musselkanaal Noord, Stadskanaal
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Schoolstraat sits in the quiet countryside of Musselkanaal Noord, a village in the municipality of Stadskanaal. With 114 m² of living space and a large plot of 1595 m², it offers plenty of room both inside and out. The house dates from 1910 and has an energy label D, so some modernisation may be needed. At €495,000, the price is in line with other detached houses in Stadskanaal.
Musselkanaal Noord is a rural neighbourhood with mostly families and older residents. The area is very quiet, with hardly any urban bustle. One resident who has lived here for 12 years says: "After living here for 12 years as a westerner, I have come to the conclusion that the people here in the farming countryside only live for themselves, don't think of others, do what they want, are totally not social, or have no idea what that means. No friendliness... nothing." They add: "The winter months are terrible, dark and gloomy, boring and quiet." This is based on one review. The neighbourhood Musselkanaal Noord has a low population density and almost all homes are owner-occupied.
For daily groceries, you can walk to Aldi or PLUS, both about a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools nearby, such as CBS de Verbinding just around the corner and Openbare Basisschool De Badde a couple of streets away. The municipality Stadskanaal offers basic amenities like a GP and a restaurant within a short drive, but for secondary school you need to travel further.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Makelaardij Schiphuis.

After living here for 12 years as a westerner, I have come to the conclusion that the people here in the farming countryside only live for themselves, don't think of others, do what they want, are totally not social, or have no idea what that means. No friendliness... nothing. The winter months are terrible, dark and gloomy, boring and quiet. There are no holidays, nothing. Going out, nothing. Far too little lighting. I do understand the youth, what is there for them to find here, what is left for them? Nothing. So that image, oh how nice in the countryside, how beautiful, what friendly people... no. Loneliness, and a whole lot of ageing. But luckily the end is almost in sight for us... I'll be glad when I can leave this place behind me. Yes, everything is bad here: healthcare, public transport, lighting, help. No, Stadskanaal is not gold. Clean, yes the streets are, but life and laughter are not, and what happens in the fields... but the streets are clean, yes. How do you say it... Moj Stadskanaal

About Schoolstraat 146, Musselkanaal
The asking price of €495,000 is in line with the market for a detached home of this size in Musselkanaal Noord. The large plot of 1595 m² adds value, but the 1910 construction and energy label D mean you may need to budget for upgrades.
Musselkanaal Noord is a very quiet, rural area with mostly families and older residents. One long-term resident describes it as unsocial and gloomy in winter, with little to do. The streets are clean, but life and laughter are scarce according to that review.
The nearest train station is 21.9 km away, so you will need a car or bus for rail connections. Public transport is limited in this rural area.
Primary schools within walking distance include CBS de Verbinding (720 m) and Openbare Basisschool De Badde (1.7 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.2 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
The nearest supermarkets are Aldi and PLUS, both about 3 km away, a ten-minute walk or short drive. There are several other options within 5 km, including Lidl.
The home has energy label D, which is average for a house of this age. Heating costs will be moderate but not as low as with a modern, well-insulated home.
