De Oostermaat 38, Westerbork

Oh, Oh Oh,
This place is now for sale. This is not about a hypermodern wellness resort. It's the best way to get back to nature. We all know the image of being cozy by the crackling open fireplace at grandma and grandpa's vacation home. Warmth, affection, a bit of rustic charm, snug bedrooms, outside a pack of snow in winter, playing with sleds in nature. Here it is. Sentimentality in its best form. Try to get the children inside for dinner during summer; they roam freely over the heath and rest by the Iron Age farm.
The nature here is overwhelming. The flowering heath is captivating. The possible views in terms of beauty are almost intimidating.

A vacation home like this is a choice. The house itself is perfectly adequate, not modern, but all comfort-enhancing primary amenities are present; however, do not expect any modern conveniences. There is no shortage of atmosphere and experience, though. Simplicity and functionality are key here. Of course, if you invest enough, it could soon be a super-modern luxury vacation home. That would not change the place's charm or intimacy, which remains enchanting in all cases. It just depends on what you are looking for.

You understand, this is one of the most beautiful spots in Drenthe, and therefore in the Netherlands. The purchase of this little cottage is not a rational but an extremely sentimental decision. Sometimes you don't regret following your heart. Profit calculations do not apply here. Moments of happiness and memories are priceless. It's a matter of surrender.

Just the rational elements.
Solid little house with three bedrooms. If you make a bit of an effort with bunk beds, you can accommodate up to about 10 sleeping places. (though the shower gets crowded..) If the pace of work in the garden is slowed down after consultation with the VvE [Board of Managing Directors], there is also a magical view from inside.
Central heating, neat sanitary facilities, simple kitchen, functional utility room with washing machine connection.
The house is well maintained, once expanded for a parental bedroom and bathroom. The interior is functional and charmingly dated. Depending on your preference level, you can either move in without changes or modernize first. In the former case success is guaranteed, in the latter case it's entirely up to you.

This coveted object is located at the far corner of the nature vacation park De Oostermaat. View towards Orvelte from an iron age farm. Situated exactly between Westerbork and Orvelte, immersed in nature.

Orvelte is known for its cultural-historical value, while Westerbork is famous for its authentic Drentse hospitality and facilities. Here you will find all the amenities that make life pleasant, in terms of catering, supermarkets, activities, and all primary basic needs such as a doctor's office and schooling. Westerbork is easily accessible via the A28 and N381, public transport with bus line 22, and of course the train from Beilen (7 minutes). Centrally located between Emmen, Hoogeveen, and Assen (all about 20 minutes by car), Groningen and Zwolle are just 40 minutes away. Read the full description
