Sustainable detached home with large plot in Oosterwold
Key Features
Description
The property at Oeverwalweg 51 is located in the Almere Oosterwold Zuid area and is offered for sale at a price of 850,000 euros (costs for the buyer). This detached house was built in 2020 and offers a living area of 132 square meters situated on a generous plot of 1,351 square meters. The property features three bedrooms and holds an A++ energy label.
Oosterwold is a unique residential area where residents have the freedom to shape their own plots and living environment. This concept brings real freedom but also requires engagement from those who choose to live here. The area is not a conventional neighborhood but rather a place where inhabitants can determine how their surroundings develop over time. Anyone considering life in Oosterwold is encouraged to take time to understand the rules and conditions that apply to this special area, as well as to learn about the access road association and current developments in the district.
The house is positioned along a country road, surrounded by greenery and open space, offering a living experience that stands out from typical residential areas. The exterior facade is finished with lime plaster, which is a mineral coating that does not require repainting for decades. According to the listing, the next paint job is not expected for approximately 25 years. This maintenance-friendly feature adds to the practical appeal of the property.
The property includes a carport and ample parking space on the private land. The plot size of over 1,350 square meters provides significant outdoor space that can be utilized according to the preferences of the new owners. The garden is described as being located all around the house, offering various possibilities for outdoor activities and landscaping.
Inside the house, the entrance leads through a generous hallway that immediately conveys a sense of light and good organization. The living room is spacious and comfortable, featuring underfloor heating throughout. A pellet stove serves as a focal point in the living area, adding warmth and atmosphere. French doors connect the living space directly to the outside, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
The interior walls are constructed from straw bales and finished with clay plaster. Straw is described as an excellent insulator, and the walls naturally breathe, which contributes to a healthy indoor climate. This construction method aligns with the sustainable philosophy of the property and the Oosterwold area in general.
The kitchen was installed in 2021 and is described as modern and practically arranged. The bathroom, also from 2021, is finished in a clean and well-executed manner. The bathroom features a double sink, a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit. Additionally, there is a separate toilet in the house.
The ground floor contains three bedrooms that offer flexibility in their use. These rooms can serve as bedrooms, home offices, children's rooms, or guest rooms, depending on the needs of the inhabitants. The layout of these rooms is described as playful, providing variety in the spatial experience.
The window frames are aluminum on the exterior with a larch wood finish on the interior. This combination is described as low-maintenance and timeless in appearance. The entire house is fitted with HR+++ triple glazing, which contributes to the excellent insulation properties of the property.
The house is well-insulated throughout, including the floor, walls, and roof. It operates on a net-zero energy basis, meaning that it generates as much energy as it consumes over the course of a year. There is no gas connection, and the owners do not have to worry about energy bills in the traditional sense. The property is equipped with 24 solar panels, which in 2024 generated more energy than the occupants used.
A grey water tank with a capacity of 6 cubic meters is installed on the property. Rainwater is collected in this tank and subsequently used for the dishwasher, washing machine, and toilets. This system significantly reduces the consumption of tap water and contributes to the sustainable character of the home.
An electric vehicle charging point is already installed at the property, located under the carport. This makes the house ready for the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and adds to the forward-thinking nature of the property.
Heating is provided by underfloor heating throughout the house, supplemented by the pellet stove in the living room. Hot water is generated by an electric boiler. The absence of a gas connection means that all energy needs are met through electricity, which is largely covered by the solar panel installation.
Fiber optic internet is available at the property, ensuring fast and reliable internet connectivity for those who work from home or have high bandwidth requirements.
The roof is a hipped roof, and the property is described as accessible for elderly people. Natural ventilation is present in the house, along with a chimney for the pellet stove and sliding doors that provide access to the garden.
Storage space is provided in the form of an attached wooden shed. The total content of the building is 703 cubic meters.
The property consists of two cadastral parcels: one with an area of 1,215 square meters and another with an area of 136 square meters, both in full ownership. Together, these parcels form the total plot of 1,351 square meters as listed in the property features.
A recent structural survey report is available for the property, which can provide potential buyers with additional assurance regarding the condition of the building.
The asking price per square meter of living space is 6,439 euros. The property is available for viewing, and the transfer date is to be negotiated. The listing has been viewed over 4,800 times and saved 100 times on the Funda platform, indicating significant interest from potential buyers.
The acceptance terms are described as negotiable, meaning that the exact date of transfer can be discussed and agreed upon between the seller and buyer. The property status is listed as available, meaning it is currently on the market and open for offers.
Oosterwold Zuid is the southern part of the Oosterwold district in Almere. The area is characterized by its experimental approach to residential development, where residents have a high degree of freedom in designing their plots and homes. This freedom comes with certain responsibilities, including participation in the access road association and adherence to the specific rules that govern the area.
The property at Oeverwalweg 51 represents a contemporary interpretation of sustainable living within the Oosterwold framework. The combination of a large plot, a relatively new and well-insulated home, and the net-zero energy operation makes this a property that appeals to buyers who value both sustainability and space.
The location along a quiet road with an open view contributes to the peaceful atmosphere that the listing emphasizes. At the same time, the proximity to Almere ensures that urban amenities are within reasonable distance, although the specific distances to shops, schools, and public transport are not mentioned in the listing.
For potential buyers who are not familiar with the Oosterwold concept, the listing recommends taking the time to understand the specific conditions and requirements that apply to living in this area. This includes understanding the role of the plot road association and the ongoing developments that may affect the neighborhood in the coming years.
