House prices in Ellewoutsdijk: spacious homes with a hefty price tag
Ellewoutsdijk is a distinct owner-occupied neighbourhood. As many as 78% of the 210 homes are owner-occupied, and you can see this in the character of the streets: predominantly spacious detached houses and characteristic Zeeland farmhouses. The average WOZ value is €254,000, which is clearly below the municipal average of Borsele (€295,000). However, the transaction prices of the past year tell a different story. Three homes were sold with an average purchase price of €602,333, and a range from €479,000 to €849,000. This high average reflects the type of homes changing hands here: large, often historic properties with substantial plots and an average living area of 202 m². The current supply and asking prices can be found at the top of this page. If you want to compare with the rest of the municipality, also check out owner-occupied homes in Borsele as a whole.
Living on the Westerschelde: what makes Ellewoutsdijk truly special
Ellewoutsdijk is a village you won't quickly forget once you've been there. It lies directly on the Westerschelde, with views of the water and passing shipping. With around 370 residents, it is one of the smallest cores in the municipality of Borsele, and this small-scale character is exactly what residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page of Ellewoutsdijk, you can read what residents themselves say about their village. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and nature: people describe it as a place where you can truly unwind, far from the hustle and bustle, with the dike as a daily walking route. At the same time, honesty is in order: there are hardly any amenities. There is no supermarket, no primary school, and no GP in the village itself. For daily shopping and schools, you rely on surrounding places such as Heinkenszand or Goes.
Accessibility is a point to seriously consider if you are thinking of buying a home here. Ellewoutsdijk is not located near a train station. The nearest NS stations are in Goes (approximately 15 kilometres) and Middelburg. Public transport in the village itself is limited; a car is not a luxury but a necessity here. Via the N666 and N254, you are relatively quickly on the A58, the motorway connecting Goes, Middelburg and Vlissingen. Living in Ellewoutsdijk therefore means consciously choosing a rural life, with all the freedom and space that entails. The municipality itself provides more information about local amenities and policies at borsele.nl.
The village roughly consists of a core and a rural area. In Kern Ellewoutsdijk, you will find the historic buildings directly on the dike, with the characteristic dike houses and the small harbour. The Buitengebied Ellewoutsdijk encompasses the agricultural plots and larger rural properties around the village. If you enjoy walking, cycling and nature, this is an excellent base. The Zeeland landscape, the polders and the proximity of the water give the area a very unique atmosphere that you won't find in more urban neighbourhoods.
For whom is buying in Ellewoutsdijk a good choice?
Ellewoutsdijk primarily attracts buyers who consciously choose space, peace and a place of their own far from the city. Movers and over-50s with their own car and without a daily need for amenities within walking distance feel most at home here. First-time buyers or young families who depend on public transport or nearby schools would do well to weigh the considerations carefully. Supply is scarce and prices are high due to the type of properties. In addition to the purchase price, also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Ellewoutsdijk as an alternative.
