Oosterwold Noord, Almere
NeighbourhoodThis detached house sits on a remarkably large plot in Oosterwold Noord, a neighbourhood where self-building and green living define the character.

Built in 2022 with an A++++ energy label, it is as efficient as it is modern. The asking price of €735,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Almere, reflecting the exceptional land size.

About Socratesstraat 44, Almere
The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Almere, but the 4131 m² plot is exceptional. Most detached homes in the municipality sit on much smaller plots, so the price reflects the land value rather than the compact 46 m² house. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the space and freedom of a large plot in a green, self-build neighbourhood.
The home has an A++++ energy label, the highest possible rating. This means it is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. Built in 2022, it likely includes high-quality insulation, triple glazing, and a heat pump or solar panels. You can expect minimal energy bills compared to older homes.
The plot measures 4131 m², which is enormous for a detached house in Almere. Oosterwold Noord is a self-build area where residents are encouraged to design their own gardens, grow food, or keep animals. You could create a large garden, add a workshop, or even build a second dwelling, subject to local planning rules. The possibilities are vast.
