Homes for sale in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld, Lochem

House prices and market figures Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld, Lochem

The owner-occupied market in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld is pronounced: 83% of homes are owner-occupied, while only 17% are rented out via private landlords. There are no social housing corporation homes. This says something about the character of this neighbourhood: it is an area of owners, not of transient tenants.

The average WOZ value is €559,000. That is lower than the district average of Lochem buitengebied (€586,000), but considerably higher than the municipal average of Lochem as a whole (€457,000). The neighbourhood is therefore in the higher segment of the municipality, which fits its rural, spacious character.

Over the past twelve months, 27 homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €219,593 and a range of €100,000 to €399,500. With an average living area of 350 m², this works out to about €628 per square metre, which is low for the region and points to older or functional buildings. Detached houses and farmhouses dominate the supply. For current asking prices and availability, see the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld, Lochem

Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. There is no village centre, no shopping street, no central square. It consists of scattered farmsteads and homes spread across a wide, open landscape east of Lochem, in the area locally known as Het Veen and Grote Veld. Anyone looking for a home here seeks space, tranquillity and distance from neighbours, not walking distance to a supermarket.

The homes are predominantly detached: former farmhouses, converted agricultural buildings and country houses on large plots. This explains the high average living area of 350 m² and the relatively low price per square metre. The buildings vary in age, from historic farmhouses to 1980s detached houses on their own land. There is hardly any new construction.

You won't find amenities around the corner here. The nearest supermarket and primary schools are in Lochem itself, a few kilometres away. For daily shopping, you rely on the car. Children cycle or are driven to school in the town centre. Sports clubs such as football club RKVV Lochem and tennis club LTV are accessible from the city. The neighbourhood has no facilities of its own, but that is precisely what attracts many residents.

In terms of accessibility, a car is indispensable. Lochem has a train station with connections to Zutphen and Deventer, but you reach that station from Het Veen and Grote Veld by bike or car. Bus connections are limited. The connection to the N346 towards Zutphen and the A1 is reasonable, meaning Deventer, Apeldoorn and Enschede are within a 30 to 45-minute drive.

The population composition is remarkably stable. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (105 out of 325 inhabitants), followed by those aged 65 and over (85 people). Families with children form the largest household group. This is a neighbourhood of people who have consciously chosen country living, often for a long time. Turnover is low, which also explains why supply is limited.

Residents particularly appreciate the tranquillity, the space and the sense of privacy. One resident describes it as: "You really live out here, not in a neighbourhood that feels like the countryside. That's a big difference." Criticism almost always focuses on the dependence on the car and the limited public transport options.

Anyone looking for a slightly more compact rural neighbourhood might also consider Zwiep or Verspreide huizen Ampsen, both also part of the Lochem buitengebied. For a neighbourhood with more of a village character, Verspreide huizen Klein Dochteren is an alternative to compare.

Who is a home in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld interesting for?

This neighbourhood best suits downsizers and people in the 45-plus age group who consciously choose rural living with space around the home. Families who take car mobility for granted and do not want to depend on urban amenities will find plenty of living space here for a relatively modest price per square metre. First-time buyers and people without a driving licence will find the location limiting.

An honest drawback: supply is scarce. With 27 sales in a year and a housing stock of 78 owner-occupied homes, not much changes hands. If something becomes available, quick action is advisable. Buying an apartment in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld is virtually impossible; the supply consists almost entirely of ground-based homes. Those unsure about buying can also look at rental homes in Verspreide huizen Het Veen en Grote Veld, although that supply is even more limited.
