Spacious Detached Home with Exceptional Privacy on 5,385 m² Plot in Picturesque Oosterstreek

This property is located in the charming village of Oosterstreek, situated on the border between the provinces of Drenthe and Overijssel. The village is characterized by its small-scale and friendly atmosphere, surrounded by impressive mature oak trees that give the area a distinguished appearance. The location offers the best of both worlds, combining village center living with the beloved atmosphere and privacy of the countryside.

The main residence was originally built around 1940, with a significant addition realized in 1986. The total living area measures approximately 190 square meters, spread over two floors with additional space in a cellar and attic. The property sits on an exceptionally large plot of 5,385 square meters of private land, accessible via two separate driveways. This arrangement provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles while maintaining the secluded character of the property.

The ground floor layout has been designed with accessibility in mind, making it suitable for seniors as well as large families. The entrance leads to a hallway with access to a toilet room. The main living and dining area spans approximately 55 square meters and features a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and ambiance to the space. Large windows, particularly in the dining area where they extend across the full width of the room, offer beautiful views of the front and side gardens and allow abundant natural light to enter the home.

Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, measuring approximately 12 square meters. The kitchen is equipped with electric underfloor heating and features a gas cooktop with an integrated filter extraction hood, a dishwasher, a combination oven, and a refrigerator. From the living room, access is provided to the cellar for additional storage.

Also accessible from the dining room is the first ground floor bedroom or workspace, measuring approximately 11 square meters, which again offers lovely garden views. Adjacent to this room is a second workspace or bedroom of similar size, also approximately 11 square meters. The utility room provides access to the garden and to the largest ground floor bedroom, measuring approximately 12 square meters. This bedroom has an en-suite shower room and also provides access to an internal storage area, the terrace, and the backyard.

The first floor is reached via a spiral staircase from the dining room, leading to a bright landing with an open gallery to below. Here, the heating system room houses the central heating boiler, which is a gas-fired combi boiler owned by the property. The first floor contains three additional bedrooms. The front bedroom measures approximately 19 square meters and features a dormer window with storage space in the knee walls. The impressive rear bedroom spans approximately 29 square meters and benefits from a skylight and a large dormer window extending almost the full width of the house. A side room of approximately 10 square meters completes the sleeping accommodation on this floor, featuring a skylight.

The full bathroom on the first floor is equipped with a skylight, a bathtub, a separate shower area, a toilet, and a double sink. From the bathroom, a hatch provides access to the attic space for additional storage.

A notable feature of this property is the substantial outbuilding, a legacy of the original nursery that once operated on this site. The free-standing stone outbuilding has an area of approximately 110 square meters. It should be noted that the roof panels of this structure are likely to contain asbestos. The outbuilding is divided into a main garage and storage area of approximately 90 square meters with a mezzanine level of approximately 33 square meters for storage, a separate workspace of approximately 14 square meters that can be accessed both from the main garage and from outside, and a bathroom and toilet facility. An interesting detail is that a protected barn owl has made its home in a closed section of the roof ridge of the outbuilding.

The outdoor spaces are truly exceptional and reflect the property's history as a nursery. The entire yard is bordered by a variety of trees and shrubs that ensure privacy is well maintained. The ornamental garden surrounding the house has been beautifully laid out with borders containing a wide variety of plants, shrubs, and flowers. Adjacent to the outbuilding, a terrace includes a small pond, and a dedicated wood storage area is available. The large lawn behind the house features the preserved remains of what was once a rose or wisteria tunnel, offering the opportunity to create a picturesque spot in the garden.

The surrounding area offers excellent recreational opportunities. The Drents-Friese Wold National Park, designated in the year 2000, encompasses over 6,000 hectares of forest, heathland, drifting sand, and stream valley grasslands. The park offers more than 130 kilometers of walking paths divided over 30 marked circular walks, as well as an extensive network of cycling paths including paved, semi-paved, and unpaved routes. For horse riders, comprehensive signposted routes have been laid out throughout the area. Additionally, the nearby Boschoord estate and the Doldersummerveld heath reserve are within cycling distance.

The neighboring village of Noordwolde, approximately two kilometers away, provides a good level of amenities including the Vlechtmuseum, hospitality venues, primary schools, and multiple supermarkets. The A32 highway and the Intercity train station in Steenwijk are approximately 15 kilometers away, offering relatively good connections to cities such as Zwolle and Amsterdam.

The property has a D energy label, with partial double glazing and partial floor insulation. The zoning designation is agricultural (nursery), but the municipality has provided a written statement confirming that the location may be occupied as a residence. This makes it possible to obtain a validated appraisal report for financing purposes.

As is customary with older properties, the purchase agreement will include both the age clause and the asbestos clause. Additionally, a non-occupancy clause will be included as the sellers have not personally occupied the property, as it concerns an estate.
