Description

Early Saturday morning, you pull open the large sliding doors and the smell of pine and damp heather rolls into the living room. A wood stove is still ticking from the night before. There's no traffic, no city noise — just the soft creak of the garden gate and birdsong from the state forest that begins practically at the edge of the estate. This is what you bought the weekend for.

Sitting on a 545 square meter plot on the Hunzebergen estate in Exloo, this detached two-bedroom recreational home is one of the more privately positioned properties on the park. Number 304 on the Valtherweg sits tucked away with a sheltered garden that manages to feel genuinely secluded rather than just screened by a hedge — not every plot here achieves that. It's a real feature, not a selling point dressed up as one.

The house itself, type Odoorn, was built in 1992 and has been kept in genuinely good condition. Full insulation throughout — roof, walls, floor — along with double glazing and HR glass means it runs efficiently across every season, from frosty November weekends to warm July afternoons when the heathlands outside Exloo go purple. A Nefit combi-boiler installed in 2021 handles heating and hot water without drama. The home is completely move-in ready; bring your bags and a decent bottle of Drenthe gin and you're set.

Inside, the layout is straightforward and works well. The hallway has a meter cupboard and a separate toilet, so the main bathroom — equipped with a shower-bath and washbasin — doesn't become a morning queue. The living room is the heart of the place: generous, light-filled, with a wood-burning stove that makes autumn evenings here something worth planning a trip around. The sliding doors open directly onto the garden, so the line between inside and outside softens whenever the weather agrees. The kitchen is fully fitted — gas hob, oven, extractor, fridge, dishwasher — the kind of practical setup that means you're not eating out every night out of necessity, only out of choice. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms plus additional storage space. There's also an attached storage shed and a separate detached wooden shed for bikes, kayak paddles, and all the outdoor kit that accumulates when you actually use a property rather than just own it.

The Hunzebergen estate borders state forests and heathlands that have been drawing walkers and cyclists to this corner of Drenthe for generations. The marked trail network here is genuinely extensive — you can disappear into the trees for three hours and cover ground that still feels wild. The cycling routes are equally good; Drenthe consistently ranks among the best provinces in the Netherlands for cyclists, and you'll understand why when you find yourself on a quiet track with nothing but pine canopy overhead and a field of sheep at the edge of the path.

About eight kilometres away, Emmen gives you supermarkets, decent restaurants, and a proper zoo — the Dierenpark Emmen — that the kids will want to return to every visit. But closer to home on the estate itself, the Fletcher Hotel De Hunzebergen provides a restaurant, a pool, and wellness facilities, meaning you have somewhere to go on a rainy afternoon that doesn't require getting in the car. A mini-golf course, playground, pump track, and bicycle rental complete the picture for families. Within walking distance sit a full-size golf course and a riding school, which makes this unusually versatile as a holiday base even beyond hiking and cycling.

Then there are the hunebedden. Drenthe has more of these ancient megalithic burial monuments than anywhere else in the Netherlands, and several are within easy cycling range of the estate. Hunebed D35 near Valthe is one of the more atmospheric ones — a cluster of massive boulders arranged by Neolithic hands thousands of years ago, sitting quietly at the edge of a field. Children find them genuinely awe-inspiring. Adults tend to as well.

For swimming in summer, the outdoor pool De Leewal is nearby. In spring and early summer, the surrounding landscape is at its most alive — wildflowers along the forest paths, lapwings calling over the farmland, the air carrying that particular clean sharpness that Drenthe does better than anywhere south of it.

Practically speaking, the property is freehold with full ownership rights. There are no park fees. The annual VvE Westhof contribution is €890 for 2025, which is transparent and modest. Permanent residence is not permitted on the estate, which is actually part of what protects its character — the tranquility here is not accidental, it's structurally guaranteed. For international buyers, the Netherlands has a well-established legal framework for non-resident property ownership, and recreational properties in this market have shown consistent demand both for personal use and short-term holiday rental income. At €279,500 for a freehold plot of this size with this level of privacy, the numbers make sense whether you're calculating weekends away or occupancy rates.

There's dedicated parking on the property. The nearest major airport is Groningen Airport Eelde, roughly 45 minutes north. Schiphol is around two hours by car, well within the range of a Friday evening drive that turns a long weekend into something worth having.

Step outside on a Saturday morning in late August, coffee in hand, and the food forest behind your back fence is already alive — wood pigeons calling, the smell of damp earth and ripening blackberries drifting across your south-facing terrace. There's no road noise. No neighbors visible through the trees. Just the quiet particular to a place that was designed, from the ground up, to make everyday life feel like a long exhale. This is what ownership looks like at 't Landgoed Baars — a thoughtfully developed estate in the green heart of Overijssel, where the village of Baars sits quietly between three separate nature reserves. The cottage at Bergweg 76-R463 was built in 2022, and it shows. Not in a showy way, but in the kind of careful detail that only emerges when someone has thought hard about how people actually live: underfloor heating underfoot in every room, extra acoustic insulation between bedroom walls so a late-sleeping guest doesn't wake the rest of the house, a thatched and bitumen roof that looks rooted rather than recently dropped here. The floor plan is compact at 59 square meters — but cleverly so. The open living area doesn't waste a centimeter. Large French doors fold back to merge the interior with the terrace, and when the afternoon sun swings south, the whole space fills with light in a way that makes the cottage feel twice its footprint. The kitchen is properly equipped, not the afterthought you find in many recreational properties. You can cook a real meal here — a Dutch hutspot on a cold November evening, or a slow Sunday lunch for six in the garden. Three bedrooms means real flexibility. Bring the kids, invite friends for a long weekend, or use the extra rooms for a home office during a working ... click here to read more

Picture this: you push open the French doors on a Saturday morning and the forest just… comes to you. Pine resin on the air, the staccato percussion of a woodpecker somewhere overhead, a cup of coffee cooling in your hand while you stand barefoot on the deck and watch a red squirrel investigate the garden shed. That's Meelkerlaan 13 in Norg. Not a resort. Not a park. Your own land, your own rules, and one of the quieter pockets of Drenthe wrapping itself around you on all sides. This detached wooden house sits on a private 1,000 m² plot inside the Oosterduinen, the forested dune landscape that stretches between Norg and the heathlands of the Noordse Veld. Unlike holiday park properties — which come with annual pitch fees, park regulations, and neighbours at arm's length — this home sits on land you own outright, free of park rules and management levies. That distinction matters enormously for buyers who want genuine autonomy over their second home. The house itself is 66 m² of honest, unfussy living space. A solid foundation. Full insulation — roof, walls, floor, double glazing throughout — and a Remeha gas combi boiler installed in 2018 that handles both heating and hot water without drama. The energy label B rating is real and meaningful: lower running costs, warmer winters, and a property that performs well in any rental yield calculation. Some cosmetic modernisation remains on the to-do list, which is exactly why the price sits where it does and why buyers who want to put their own stamp on a place rather than pay a premium for someone else's taste will find this compelling. The layout is straightforward and smart. Downstairs, an L-shaped living room opens directly into an open kitchen, the whole south-facing side ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. You pull back the curtains and there's nothing out there but oak trees, a gravel path, and the particular silence that only old-growth forest makes — not empty silence, but alive with wood pigeons and the distant tap of a woodpecker somewhere deep in the pines. The kettle goes on. You take your coffee to the covered terrace. This is what you came for. This two-bedroom brick house on Putterweg in Garderen sits inside Klein Grindhorst, a small private park of just 23 recreational homes tucked into the southern edge of the Veluwe — the Netherlands' largest nature reserve and, for anyone who loves cycling, hiking, or simply exhaling, one of the most rewarding corners of the country. The plot runs to 405 square metres, so there's real breathing room: mature trees framing the garden, established plantings that have taken years to fill out, a lawn that rolls gently down from the terrace. It doesn't feel like a holiday park. It feels like a house that happens to have a forest for a backyard. Inside, the living room surprises you. Large windows pull the green of the garden straight into the room, and the parquet floor catches whatever light comes through the canopy. The open fireplace is the kind of thing you plan your October visits around — a proper hearth, the kind that makes the whole room smell of woodsmoke and turns a rainy Sunday into something you'd voluntarily repeat. Above the main sitting area, a mezzanine level opens up the ceiling and creates a sleeping space that works perfectly for a second guest or a couple of kids who think the ladder-style staircase is the best part of the house. The kitchen, finished in a classic green scheme, is practical and well-equipped — gas hob, oven, dishwasher, extr ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in July, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the dead kind — the living kind. Pine resin drifting on a light breeze, the faint crunch of a cyclist disappearing into the tree line thirty meters from your front door, a woodpecker working somewhere deep in the state forest that runs right up against the back of the park. This is Ees, Drenthe, and this three-bedroom bungalow sits at the very edge of Het Land van Bartje holiday park — which means you get the full benefit of the park's facilities while the forest essentially starts in your back garden. The bungalow itself was built in 1996 and sits on a 294 m² private plot that wraps the house in greenery on all sides. The southwest-facing sun terrace is the detail that matters most in a Dutch summer — afternoon light here stretches past nine in the evening, and the terrace catches every last minute of it. Sliding doors from the living room open directly onto that terrace, so the line between inside and outside blurs in the best possible way. The fireplace in the sitting room earns its keep come October, when the forest turns amber and the evenings arrive earlier. At 69 m², the layout is honest and efficient. Ground floor: a hallway with a wall-mounted WC, a bright bedroom ideal for guests or anyone who wants everything on one level, the living room with its terrace connection, and a fully equipped open kitchen with gas hob, oven, dishwasher, extractor hood, and a fridge-freezer. The kitchen isn't an afterthought — it's properly kitted out, which matters when you're here for a week and actually want to cook.

Step outside on a Saturday morning in early September, coffee in hand, and the only sounds you hear are birdsong and the faint rustle of the Staatsbossen trees edging the garden. No traffic. No crowds. Just the particular silence that Drenthe does better than almost anywhere else in the Netherlands — a province that most Dutch people consider their best-kept secret, and that international buyers are only just beginning to discover. This detached three-bedroom bungalow at Buinerweg 8-401, positioned at the quieter outer edge of the well-loved Het Land van Bartje holiday park in Ees, sits on a private plot of 699 square metres. That's not a courtyard or a patch of grass — it's a proper garden, wrapping around the house on multiple sides, giving you the breathing room that park-edge plots almost never deliver. The southwest-facing rear terrace catches the afternoon sun until it dips behind the tree line, and from it you look out over open landscape. No fence-to-fence neighbours filling your eyeline. Just space. Built in 1996 in a low-key rural style that suits the Drenthe countryside, the bungalow covers 73 square metres across two floors and sleeps up to six people comfortably. Ground floor: a bright living room with a full glass façade and French doors that fold back onto the terrace in summer, a wood-burning stove that earns its keep in October and November, a semi-open kitchen renovated in 2020, a double bedroom, and a bathroom that was fully updated in 2024 — bathtub, walk-in shower, modern basin unit, the works. Upstairs, a landing with built-in wardrobe connects two further bedrooms.
