About Oranje 62G, Oranje
For a brand-new two-under-one-roof house of 121 m² with a 311 m² plot and an A+++ energy label, €450,000 is a market-rate price in this rural area. New-build homes in Drenthe typically command a premium, and this one is no exception. The price reflects the modern construction and high efficiency.
A+++ is the highest energy label, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. You can expect very low heating and electricity costs, as the house is well-insulated and likely uses sustainable technologies like a heat pump and solar panels. Exact running costs depend on usage, but this label is as good as it gets.
The nearest train station is 7.3 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive. This makes commuting by train feasible but not walkable. The station itself is not named in the listing.
There are three primary schools within five kilometres: Kindcentrum De Schutkampen (4.1 km), IKC 't Hieker Nust (4.1 km), and IKC Prinses Margriet (4.6 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 6 km away. All distances are by road.
The area recorded 12 total crimes in the latest data, which is very low for a rural neighbourhood. With only 285 residents and a scattered layout, it's a quiet and safe place to live.
