Buitengebied Schalkwijk West, Houten
NeighbourhoodThis 36 m² studio on Lange Uitweg in Schalkwijk is a rare find: a compact home in a monumental building from 1850, set in the rural outskirts of Houten. The energy label G means heating costs will be significant, but the price of €695,000 reflects the unique character and scarcity of such properties. Compared to other studios in Houten, this one is on the high side, partly due to its size and location.
This is a thinly populated rural area with just 295 residents, mostly families and couples. The neighbourhood Buitengebied Schalkwijk West feels quiet and spacious, with almost all homes being single-family houses and 83% owner-occupied. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, but the low crime rate (12 incidents) and wide open spaces speak for themselves.
Daily errands require a car: the nearest supermarket, a SPAR, is a couple of streets away, and the closest primary school, Katholieke Basisschool St Michiel, is just around the corner. For secondary education you'd need to travel further, to Houten or Utrecht. The municipality Houten offers more amenities, but here you trade convenience for peace and privacy.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Breeschoten & Vernooij B.V. and available through several channels.

About Lange Uitweg 35, Schalkwijk
The price is high for the size, but this is not a standard studio: it's a historic building in a rural setting with a large plot. Comparable studios in Houten are usually smaller and newer, so the uniqueness drives the price. You're paying for character and location, not square metres.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs. The building dates from 1850 and likely has poor insulation. Budget accordingly for energy bills, and consider whether you're prepared for that expense.
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so you'll need a car or bike to reach it. That makes this home more suitable for those who work locally or remotely.
Buitengebied Schalkwijk West is a very rural area with low population density. It's quiet, with mostly families and older residents. There are few amenities within walking distance, so a car is essential.
The nearest primary school, Katholieke Basisschool St Michiel, is about 1.1 km away. Secondary schools are further, at 6.2 km, so older children would need to travel to Houten or Utrecht.
The closest supermarket is a SPAR at 1.4 km. For a larger selection, Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet are about 3 km away. Daily shopping without a car is challenging.
