Rental properties are rare and come only from private landlords; there are no housing association properties. The number of transactions is limited: five homes were sold in the past year.

Living in Buitengebied Boerhaar, Olst-Wijhe

Buitengebied Boerhaar is not a neighbourhood in the classic sense. There are no streets with terraced houses, no shopping centre around the corner, and no busy through roads that keep you awake at night. What you do find here is space. Lots of space. Scattered farms, detached houses on large plots, meadows, hedgerows, and the silence you never truly find in an urban environment. The neighbourhood has around 570 inhabitants spread over a relatively large rural area west of the core of Boerhaar, in the municipality of Olst-Wijhe.

The homes are predominantly older farmhouses and detached houses, sometimes renovated, sometimes still authentic. New-build homes are scarce here. Those who buy here consciously choose country living: a large garden, views over the landscape, and neighbours you don't see every day. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and the proportion of families with children is high. That fits the picture: this is a neighbourhood for people who consciously choose peace and space, not for those dependent on amenities within walking distance.

Daily shopping is done in the core of Boerhaar or in Wijhe, a few kilometres away. For a wider range of shops, schools and medical facilities, Wijhe is the nearest core of some size. Secondary schools and further education are accessible via Wijhe or Olst. Sports clubs in the area are active in Boerhaar Kern and Wijhe, particularly football and tennis. Public transport is limited in the rural area: a car is not a luxury but a necessity. Via the N35 you can reach Zwolle in about twenty minutes and Deventer in half an hour. Wijhe station is a few kilometres away and offers connections towards Zwolle and Deventer.

Residents of Buitengebied Boerhaar particularly appreciate the peace, nature and space around their home. One resident writes: "You really live out here, not just a bit. No street noise, no parking nuisance, just space and greenery around you." Criticism usually focuses on the limited accessibility without a car and the almost complete lack of amenities within walking distance. Compared to Boerhaar Kern, which is more compact and closer to basic amenities, in the rural area you consciously choose more isolation in exchange for more space and privacy.

Who is a home in Buitengebied Boerhaar suitable for?

Living in Buitengebied Boerhaar best suits movers and established families with a solid budget and a clear preference for country living. The average purchase price of €709,000 makes this not a starter or junior market. Those considering buying an apartment or looking for a home in a more active market would do better to look at Wijhe or Olst, where the supply is broader and prices lower. The limited number of transactions per year means you need patience: buying a suitable home in Buitengebied Boerhaar requires timing. If you want more flexibility, rental properties in Buitengebied Boerhaar are also an option, although that supply is even more limited.
