Havelte, Westerveld
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,150,000, it is the most expensive of the 10 homes currently for sale in Havelte and 78% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €645,700. For context, semi-detached houses in Westerveld vary widely in price.
Havelte is a small village with a mix of ages and opinions. Based on three reviews, one resident calls it a "lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture" with school, shops and swimming pool within walking distance. Another describes it as "quiet, next to nature" with a good atmosphere. A third, however, paints a starkly different picture: a "petty working-class neighbourhood" with gossip, bullying and a culture that excludes outsiders. The village has around 3,225 residents, with many older people and a mix of family types. For more on the area, see the municipality of Westerveld.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There are also two primary schools within walking distance: OBS De Bosrank and Oosterveldschool a bit further. The village centre has a restaurant 600 metres away and a library 900 metres away. The nearest train station is 9.5 km away, so a car is handy for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Het Betere Boerenerf, makelaars in woonboerderijen.

Nice neighbourhood with diverse ages. Good atmosphere, quiet, next to nature. Really nice to live
Auto-translated to English by AIA lovely little village to live in, everyone knows everyone culture. School, shops and swimming pool within walking distance.
Auto-translated to English by AIPetty working-class neighbourhood, full of gossip and intrigue. Bullying culture. Excluding those who think differently. If you're an outsider, not 'working-class' enough, if your social position is very low, you're a target. Harsh, somewhat hateful culture. Two groups: the golf club elite and the Boer and Burger supporters. I belong to neither and therefore find no connection. I find the alcohol consumption and the frequent violence striking. Things that are overlooked. Their own customs, own rules, own laws. A self-contained community cut off from the rest of the country. They only respect rules if they can use them to muzzle people they don't like. And those rules never apply to them. A very strange culture. After 11 years, I still marvel at it every day. The municipality only stands up for its own kind. Very authoritarian, biased and corrupt. Corrupt: cronyism and conflicts of interest. Building one-sided dossiers against people they don't like. As for nature: everything is being demolished, for the past 10 years. The forests have been thinned out, stripped for financial gain. Facilities: without a car you're far from everything and the bus sometimes doesn't run at all. So you stand at the bus stop for an hour waiting for the next one. I sometimes think of Pommetje Horlepiep here.

Havelte is a small village with a strong sense of community, but opinions vary.

The plot is 2,118 m², which is large. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace or other outdoor features. The plot size suggests ample outdoor space, but details are not provided.
The house was built in 1750, making it very old for this neighbourhood, where only 9.1% of homes date from before 1945. This gives it historic character, but may also mean higher maintenance.
