Description
This bungalow for sale in Diever sits on 582 m² at the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold National Park, with forest right outside the door. Built in 1965, it is a compact detached house with 59 m² of living space, two bedrooms and a woodland garden that needs little upkeep. Think of it as a forest cottage you can lock up and leave, then return to for a weekend of walking, cycling and quiet. It is sold as a recreational property, and the section on buying explains what that means in practice.
The House: Layout, Heating and Attic
You enter through a central hallway. Off it are the meter cupboard, the first bedroom, a separate toilet and the bathroom, which has a walk-in shower, a washbasin unit, mechanical ventilation and a window for daylight. A hatch leads up to the attic. It has a standing height of about 2 metres, it is walkable, and it houses the central heating boiler. An extra bedroom or hobby room is a realistic idea for the next owner, subject to the usual permits.
At the end of the hallway is a simple, closed kitchen with a gas stove and a built-in fridge. It opens into the living room, where large windows and French doors face the terrace. The second bedroom, the larger of the two, leads off the living room and has two big windows onto the garden. Radiators heat the house, and it has double glazing and ceiling insulation. The condition is good, and the total volume is 305 m³.
On the terrace side there is an indoor storage room with double wooden doors. It is the obvious place for bicycles, garden cushions and muddy boots after a day in the woods.
A Woodland Garden Beside the Drents-Friese Wold
The 582 m² plot is laid out as a low-maintenance woodland garden, so you spend your weekends walking rather than mowing. Open the curtains in the morning and you look over the es, the traditional open field of this part of Drenthe. Woodpeckers work the tree trunks, hedgehogs rustle through the leaves, and in the early morning you may see a squirrel or even a deer.
The terrace at the front catches the afternoon sun. Take a book out there and the only sounds are birds. The private driveway has room for several cars, which helps when friends or family come to stay.
Step outside and you are on the edge of the national park, in a dog-friendly off-leash area with forest paths in every direction. The surroundings are also known for their mountain biking trails.
Living in Diever and Exploring Drenthe
Diever is a short bike ride away. The village has a Plus supermarket, a bakery, several cafés and restaurants, sports clubs and summer markets. For an evening out you can walk or cycle to Restaurant Villa Blauwhemel or De Sluiswachter, or book a show at the Shakespeare Theater.
This makes a good base for a holiday home in Drenthe. The Dwingelderveld National Park, with its heath and sand drifts, is close by. Weerribben-Wieden National Park near Giethoorn, a good day on the water, is about half an hour by car. When you want a town, Beilen, Assen, Hoogeveen, Meppel and Steenwijk are all within easy reach.
For international buyers, Groningen Airport Eelde is roughly an hour away by car. Amsterdam Schiphol is about two hours, depending on traffic.
Buying a Second Home in the Netherlands: Recreational Use
Read this part carefully. According to the zoning plan, registering the bungalow as a main residence is not permitted. Recreational stays are allowed 365 days a year, so you can use the house as often as you like, as long as it is not your registered home. That suits a second home in the Netherlands well.
There are no park or HOA fees, so you own and run your plot without a holiday-park management company. The purchase agreement will include clauses on the age of the property, asbestos and non-occupancy. Have these explained by your notary or an independent adviser before you commit. The asking price is €339,500.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I live here all year round?
Not as a registered main residence, because the zoning plan does not allow it. Recreational stays are permitted 365 days a year.
Can I add a third bedroom?
The attic is walkable and has a standing height of about 2 metres, so it has clear potential for extra sleeping or hobby space. Check the rules and permits with the municipality of Westerveld before planning any work.
Is it a good base for walking and cycling?
Yes. The Drents-Friese Wold begins at the edge of the plot, and Diever is within cycling distance for shops and restaurants.
