Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land, Texel
NeighbourhoodThis two-under-one-roof house on Ongeren sits in the wide-open landscape of Den Burg, on an enormous plot of 9700 m². With 75 m² of living space and an energy label G, it is a project for someone who values land over luxury. The price of €860,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Texel, but the sheer size of the plot is exceptional.

It is a quiet, rural area where most homes are owner-occupied (82%) and single-family (88%). The population is older, with many 45-plus households. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the statistics alone. This is the neighbourhood Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land.

Primary schools are about 2.3 km away, with the Jozefschool Texel and Protestant Christelijke Basisschool De Fontein both within that distance. Secondary education is at OSG de Hogeberg, a ten-minute walk further. The municipality Texel covers the whole island, so amenities are spread out.

About Ongeren 15, Den Burg
The price is on the high side compared to other two-under-one-roof homes in Texel, but the plot of 9700 m² is extraordinary. You are paying for the land, not the house itself, which is compact at 75 m² and has an energy label G. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the space and location.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so heating costs will be high. The house was built in 1949 and has not been updated to modern standards. You would need to invest in insulation, new heating, and possibly double glazing to bring the energy performance up.
The nearest train station is 15.6 km away. That is a drive of about 15 minutes to Den Helder station, which connects to the rest of the Netherlands. Public transport on the island itself is limited.
Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land is a very rural area with low density. Most homes are owner-occupied and single-family. The population is older, with many residents over 45. It is quiet and spacious, but amenities like shops and schools are a few kilometres away in Den Burg.
Yes, but some lenders may require an energy performance report or limit the loan amount because of the high expected energy costs. It is best to check with a mortgage advisor for your specific situation.
The plot is 9700 m², which is huge for a single home. You could use it for gardening, keeping animals, or even building an additional structure, subject to local planning rules. The house itself is only 75 m², so there is plenty of outdoor space.
