The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Meierijstad, but the plot of 7950 m² is exceptionally large. The house itself is 123 m² with a 1970 build and a G energy label, so you will need to budget for modernisation and higher energy costs. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the land.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the house is not energy-efficient and heating costs will be high. You would likely need to invest in insulation, double glazing and possibly a new heating system to improve the label. The exact costs depend on the current installations, which are not detailed in the listing.

The plot measures 7950 m², which is very generous for a detached house. It offers plenty of space for a large garden, vegetable patches, a workshop, or even keeping animals, depending on local regulations. The listing does not specify whether the land is partly wooded or pasture, so you would need to see it in person.

Buitengebied Elderbroek is a rural area with very few residents, only 290 people. Most homes are detached and owner-occupied, and many households have children. It is extremely quiet, with low crime rates (9 total offences). You will need a car for most errands, as amenities are a few kilometres away.

The nearest primary school, Basisschool 't Kwekkeveld, is 2.2 km away. Secondary school Elde College is 2.2 km as well. The closest supermarket, Jumbo, is 2.7 km, with SPAR and PLUS within 3 km. A GP is 2.1 km away. All are a short drive, but not within walking distance.

The nearest train station is 8.7 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient without a car or bike ride to the station.

The house was built in 1970, so it is over 50 years old. With a G energy label, it likely lacks modern insulation and efficient heating. The listing does not mention recent renovations, so you should expect to update the interior, windows and heating system to modern standards.
