About Zuid-Kavelsedijk 3, Strijen
The asking price is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €813,269 and the median of €545,000. It is the most expensive home currently for sale in Strijen Buitengebied. However, with 1,045 m² of living space and a plot of 18,665 m², it is in a completely different league from the typical home in the area. The price per m² (€3,780) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €4,843, so you are paying for sheer size rather than a premium per square metre.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. For a property built in 1800, that is not surprising. Heating and electricity costs will be high, especially with 1,045 m² to heat. You would need to invest significantly in insulation, double glazing, and possibly a modern heating system to improve the label. The neighbourhood has 40% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The nearest train station is 13.4 km away. That is about a 15-minute drive. Public transport connections are limited in this rural area, so a car is essential for commuting.
Strijen Buitengebied recorded 45 total crimes in the latest data. With 1,800 residents, that is a low crime rate. The area is very quiet and rural, so it is generally considered safe.
Yes, there are several primary schools within a few kilometres. The closest is Basisschool Het Talent at 1.8 km, followed by OBS De Meerwaarde at 2.4 km and CBS De Parel at 2.6 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.6 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
The plot of 18,665 m² is enormous, nearly two hectares. The average home in the neighbourhood has a much smaller plot, though exact figures are not available. This is clearly a unique property with extensive grounds.
