Zoning: According to the Oosterwold environmental plan established on 29 September 2025, this plot has been designated as "Mixed Use - 1" (Gemengd - 1). Lands designated as "Mixed Use - 1" are intended for:
a. Businesses from categories 1 and 2 of the "State of Business Activities"
b. Businesses from other categories than those mentioned under a, provided these businesses were already present at the time the draft zoning plan was made available for public inspection
c. A maximum of two business residences per plot
d. Activities pursued as a hobby, such as agricultural activities (keeping bees, sheep, dogs, chickens, horses, etc., and small-scale cultivation of agricultural products), and studio/workspace for creative expression (visual arts, music, dance)
Environmental considerations: The commercial building (constructed in 1992) has corrugated sheeting. It is not known whether these corrugated sheets contain asbestos.
Soil history: The first owner was a landscaping company (groenvoorzieningsbedrijf). The second owner did not conduct any heavy commercial activities. The current owner has also not conducted any heavy commercial activities.
The property presents a distinctive opportunity for entrepreneurs, self-employed individuals, or those with hobbies requiring significant space. The separation between living and working areas has been carefully considered in the layout of both the plot and the buildings. The corner position ensures that business traffic does not need to pass by the residential entrance, maintaining privacy and a clear distinction between domestic and commercial use.
The residential dwelling itself offers ample space for a family, with five potential bedrooms providing flexibility for home offices, guest rooms, or children's bedrooms. The kitchen was renovated in 2016, bringing a relatively modern element to the 1992-built home. The energy label B indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency, though potential buyers may wish to consider further improvements given current energy standards and sustainability requirements.
The garden surrounding the residential dwelling has been thoughtfully planted and designed to take advantage of the plot's orientation. The sheltered position provides a pleasant outdoor living environment that can be enjoyed throughout the day thanks to the favorable sun exposure.
The commercial building offers substantial space at 189 m² on the ground floor plus additional storage on an intermediate level. The overhead doors measuring 3 meters in width and 3.5 meters in height accommodate various types of vehicles and equipment. The presence of both manual and electrically operated overhead doors provides operational flexibility. The five skylights ensure that the interior remains well-lit during daylight hours, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
The paved area behind the commercial building adds another functional outdoor space that can serve various purposes, from additional parking to outdoor storage or loading activities. The ability to close this area off from the public road with a gate provides security and control over access.
The zoning designation "Mixed Use - 1" provides clarity about permitted uses and offers a degree of flexibility for various types of businesses, particularly those in categories 1 and 2. The inclusion of hobby activities in the zoning plan acknowledges the unique character of the Oosterwold area, where residential living and various forms of small-scale activity coexist.
Potential buyers should be aware of the uncertainty regarding the presence of asbestos in the corrugated sheeting of the commercial building roof. An asbestos investigation may be advisable before finalizing a purchase decision, particularly if renovation or modification of the roof is contemplated.

The price per square meter of living space, as calculated in the listing, amounts to €6,366, though this figure does not account for the significant additional value provided by the commercial building and the large plot size.
