Havelte, Westerveld
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A detached house from 1925, set on a large plot in the heart of Havelte, it offers space and character that are rare to find. With 625 m² of living space, it is more than three times the size of the average home in the neighbourhood. The asking price of €1,375,000 is well above the local average of €645,700, reflecting its exceptional size and quality. For context, detached houses in Westerveld command a premium, and this one is at the top end.
Havelte is a close-knit Drenthe village where people know each other. One resident describes it as 'a lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.' Another appreciates the 'nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature.' A third review is less positive, mentioning a 'petty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue.' Based on three reviews, opinions vary, but the village clearly has a strong identity. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a notable share of older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. Havelte is a place where you either fit in or stand out.
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, a couple of streets away. There is also a PLUS further out. The local primary school, OBS De Bosrank, is a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. For secondary education, you would need to travel further. The village has a restaurant within walking distance, and a library and GP surgery are also nearby. The train station is 9.5 km away, so a car is useful for longer journeys. The municipality of Westerveld covers a rural area where facilities are spread out.
At the time of writing, the home is listed exclusively through Fehse Makelaardij | NVM-Qualis.

Nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live
Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

About van Helomaweg 17, Havelte
The asking price is €1,375,000, which is 113% above the average asking price in Havelte (€645,700). However, this home has 625 m² of living space, compared to the neighbourhood average of 190 m², so the price per square metre is actually lower than average. Given its size, character, and plot, the price is in line with what you would expect for a property of this calibre.
The home has energy label C. This means it is reasonably efficient, but not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label A, 25% have label C, and 25% have label D or lower. So this home is around the middle of the pack for the area.
The plot measures 1,793 m². The listing does not specify a garden, but with a plot this size, there is plenty of outdoor space. The home is from 1925, so the garden is likely established. You would need to view the property to see the exact layout and condition of the grounds.
Havelte is a village with a strong community feel. Residents mention a good atmosphere, quiet surroundings, and proximity to nature. However, one review describes a divided culture between social groups and some social challenges. It is a place where you are either part of the community or an outsider.

The Albert Heijn supermarket is 272 metres away, just around the corner. The primary school OBS De Bosrank is 465 metres away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 8.9 km away. There is also a restaurant 600 metres away and a library 900 metres away.
The nearest train station is 9.5 km away. Bus services are available but may be infrequent, as noted by one resident. A car is recommended for commuting and accessing amenities outside the village.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 625 m² of living space, the home is very spacious, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to view the property to see the room configuration.
The home was built in 1925 and has energy label C. The listing does not mention any recent renovations or the condition of the interior. Given its age, some maintenance may be needed. A viewing and a building inspection would give you a clearer picture.
