About Wolvegasterweg 51, Oldeberkoop
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Ooststellingwerf, but the plot of nearly 2 hectares is exceptional. Without comparable sales data for this specific neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly. The large land area and rural location are unique selling points that justify a premium.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Heating costs will be high, especially in winter. You may want to consider insulation and renewable energy upgrades, but these are not reflected in the listing.
The nearest train station is 11.7 km away, so you'll need a car or bus for public transport connections. The area is not well served by rail.
The closest primary school is Openbare Basisschool de Tjongeling at 1 km, with several others within 5 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.8 km away, so older children will have a longer commute.
Yes, with only 6 recorded crimes in the area, it is very safe. The low population density and rural character contribute to a peaceful environment.
The plot is 19,670 m², which is large enough for hobby farming or keeping animals, but you would need to check local zoning regulations with the municipality. The listing does not specify any restrictions.
