Musselkanaal Noord, Stadskanaal
This is a home that feels like a retreat, set in the quiet farming countryside of Musselkanaal. With 272 m² of living space on a 640 m² plot, it offers plenty of room for a family. The price of €539,000 is on the high side compared to the local market, but the size and energy efficiency are exceptional. For context, you can compare it with other detached houses in Stadskanaal.
Musselkanaal Noord is a small, rural neighbourhood with about 1,600 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied and detached, and the area is very quiet. One resident, who has lived here for 12 years, describes it as lonely: "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." The review is based on a single opinion, so it may not reflect everyone's experience. For more on the area, see the Musselkanaal Noord neighbourhood.
Daily errands are straightforward: the nearest primary school is a five-minute walk away, and there are two supermarkets within a couple of streets away. For secondary school, you'd need to travel a bit further. The area is very rural, with the lowest address density in the country, so a car is handy for most trips.

About Sluisstraat 113, Musselkanaal
The asking price is €539,000 for a 272 m² detached house built in 2010 on a 640 m² plot. Compared to other homes in Musselkanaal, this is on the high side, but the size and energy label A+++ are exceptional. Without comparable sales data in the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but the price reflects the generous space and modern efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, which is the most efficient label possible. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration from EP-Online.
Musselkanaal Noord is a small, rural neighbourhood with about 1,600 residents. Almost all homes are owner-occupied and detached. One resident gave a very negative review, describing it as lonely and lacking social life. However, that's based on a single opinion. The area is very quiet, with low crime figures and clean streets.
The nearest primary school is about 800 metres away, a five-minute walk. Supermarkets like Aldi and PLUS are within 1.5 km, so a couple of streets away. For secondary school, you'd need to travel about 6 km. A car is useful for most errands, as public transport is limited.
The nearest train station is 21.9 km away, so not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it.
The plot is 640 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space. The plot size is given, but the layout of the outdoor area is not described.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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
