Molenstraat 2

The price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached homes in West Betuwe, but this is a brand-new build with an A++ energy label and 216 m² of space. New-build homes typically command a premium, and the energy efficiency will keep running costs low. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a modern, energy-efficient home in a rural setting.

The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump and solar panels. You can expect very low energy bills compared to older homes. It also adds to the property's long-term value and comfort.

The nearest train station is 5.1 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. The station connects to the wider rail network, but you'll need a car or bike to get there.

The Prins Willem Alexanderschool is just 218 metres away, so it's a couple of minutes' walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.7 km away, so children will need to travel a bit further. There are also several other primary schools within a few kilometres.

Ophemert is a quiet village with many families and older residents. There are 220 households with children and 230 without. The village has a primary school, football and tennis clubs, and a strong community feel. One resident says it's 'a fine neighbourhood, a bit of everything'.

The nearest supermarkets are Albert Heijn and Jumbo, both about 2.9 km away. That's a five-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. For daily shopping, you'll need to get on your bike or in your car, as the village itself has limited shops.
