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.

Step outside on a Tuesday morning, coffee in hand, and the only sound is a coot skimming the water at the edge of your garden. No traffic. No neighbors crowding your fence line. Just the particular quiet of the Veluwe — that vast, forested stretch of the Netherlands that draws walkers, cyclists, and anyone craving a genuine exhale. This is what owning a vacation home on Rubensstraat feels like in practice, not in theory. The bungalow sits within a small, well-kept park in Voorthuizen, a village that most people drive past on the way to somewhere else — which is exactly why it works so well as a base. The park is reserved for guests aged 50 and over, which keeps the atmosphere calm without being sterile. There's a real community here, but one that values its space. The property itself covers 89 square metres across two floors, on a private 360 m² plot. That plot is the first thing that strikes you: a proper garden, landscaped with lawn, flowering borders, and paved terraces, all of it backing onto a water feature that gives the rear of the house a quiet, almost meditative quality. In summer, the light hits the water in the late afternoon and bounces onto the living room ceiling. In autumn, the leaves from the surrounding trees collect at the water's edge and nobody rushes to clear them. Inside, the layout has been thought through carefully. The ground floor carries the main bedroom — a generous room with a built-in wardrobe and direct garden access via its own door — plus a full bathroom fitted with shower, bathtub, and washbasin. This isn't just convenient; it means the house works equally well whether you're here for a long weekend with grandchildren or planning to spend extended seasons without negotiating stairs ev ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. The wood stove is still warm from last night, your coffee is brewing, and through the French doors you can see sunlight filtering through the pines at the edge of your garden. No neighbors in your sightline. Just birdsong, the smell of damp earth after rain, and the low hum of absolute quiet. This is what weekends are supposed to feel like — and at Calluna Oost 76, this is just the default setting. This fully renovated three-bedroom bungalow sits on a private 764 m² plot within Park Calluna, a small-scale recreational park that runs right up against the forests outside Ommen in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Small-scale matters here — this isn't a commercial holiday camp with communal pools and tannoy announcements. The park is low-key, well-kept, and genuinely quiet. Residents tend to be people who came for the trees and stayed for the peace. The house itself has been renovated with real care. Not a cosmetic refresh — the roof, floors, and walls are all insulated, every room runs on electric heating, the glazing is double throughout, and the whole property is fully all-electric. The energy efficiency isn't just good for the planet; it means running costs stay manageable year-round, which matters when you're factoring in the economics of a second home. The property comes fully furnished, too. You could book a viewing on a Friday and be drinking wine on that south-facing terrace by Saturday evening. Step inside and the layout makes immediate sense. The hallway opens cleanly into a living room that earns its place as the heart of the house — largely because of the soapstone wood stove anchoring one wall. Soapstone retains heat for hours after the fire dies down, which means on a cold October evening ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning and the first thing you notice isn't silence exactly — it's layered sound. A woodpecker working somewhere deep in the treeline. Crows lifting off from the birches at the edge of the plot. The soft creak of the veranda as the day warms up. This is Koekangerveldweg 38 in Koekange, Drenthe, and it announces itself through the senses long before you've even unlocked the door. The bungalow sits on a generous 1,254 square metre private plot within the Marterhaar recreational park, an unhurried green pocket of the Netherlands set between the small villages of Koekange, Ruinerwold, and De Wijk. Mature trees surround the garden on all sides — not as decoration, but as a genuine privacy screen. Squirrels cross the lawn with the confidence of homeowners. Deer pass through at dusk, especially in autumn, when the light turns amber through the canopy and the whole plot takes on the quality of a nature documentary. You don't get this kind of land, this close to nature, for this price very often. The property itself is a single-storey bungalow — three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room with sliding doors that open directly onto the garden, and a kitchen that does its job without fuss. It's an honest space. It needs work. The roof received new EPDM covering in 2017, plastic window frames have been fitted, and parts of the floor carry insulation, but this is a renovation project for someone with a vision, not a turnkey handover. Think of it less as buying a finished house and more as acquiring an exceptional plot with a perfectly serviceable shell on it. The Red Cedar cladding on the exterior has aged well and gives the building a genuinely woodsy character that suits its surroundings. A carport, a ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning, you open the back door and a pair of horses in the meadow next door lift their heads to look at you. The only other sound is birdsong and the low rustle of oaks along the edge of the garden. That's Oostendorperweg 31-Z in a single moment—and it's the kind of moment that turns a weekend getaway into a place you start calling home. This detached three-bedroom recreational bungalow sits on a private 937 m² plot on the rural fringe of Haaksbergen, in the Dutch province of Overijssel. The Twente region doesn't get the same international headlines as Amsterdam or the Veluwe, but people who know the Netherlands well tend to know exactly why this corner of the country is special. Rolling farmland, ancient waterways, pine-edged cycling paths, and a pace of life that still feels genuinely unhurried. Owning a holiday home here means arriving on a Friday evening to the smell of damp woodland and leaving on Sunday reluctant to go. The bungalow itself was built in 1995 and sits in good condition—no renovation project, no urgent surprises. At 74 m² of living space, it's compact and efficient rather than sprawling, which is exactly what makes it manageable as a second home. Everything you need on a daily basis is on the ground floor: a bedroom, a full bathroom with both shower and bathtub, and a living room that opens directly into the fitted kitchen. The layout means that guests of all ages and mobility levels can use the property comfortably without navigating stairs. Upstairs, a landing connects two further bedrooms, each with generous built-in knee-wall storage—perfect for stashing bikes, waders, or the kind of gear that accumulates when you spend real time outdoors. The kitchen comes fitted with built- ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in late August and the air smells like pine resin and damp heather. The Drents-Friese Wold starts literally at the back fence of Landgoed 't Wildryck — not a short drive away, not a ten-minute walk, but right there. You grab a coffee, open the French doors onto the south-facing garden, and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere deep in the trees. That's what life at 't Hertenspoor 140 actually feels like. This two-bedroom recreational house sits on a 474 m² plot in one of the most quietly coveted corners of the Dutch countryside. Built in 1999 and kept in genuinely good condition — this isn't a project, it's a place you can arrive at on a Friday evening and be sitting comfortably by dinner. The garden wraps around the property, mature plantings on all sides creating real visual privacy rather than the token hedge you get on so many park homes. South-facing, it collects the sun from mid-morning until the last light fades, which matters more than people realize when you're spending a June weekend outdoors with friends. The ground floor makes good use of its 70 m². A practical entrance hall handles coats, muddy boots, and bikes with ease — there's a cloakroom niche and laundry connections right there, which anyone who's spent a weekend cycling the Drenthe trails will immediately appreciate. The kitchen was refitted in 2014 and still performs well: gas hob, dishwasher, combination microwave, extractor hood, fridge. It opens directly into the living room, which is lighter than the square footage suggests thanks to the French doors. Open those and the garden becomes an extension of the living space. In July, you barely go back inside. Also on the ground floor: a separate WC with washbasi ... click here to read more

As a busy real estate agent with a global agency, I've had the privilege of representing properties in diverse locales, and let me tell you, they don't come quite like this one.

Let's take a virtual stroll through this delightful home. You step into a spacious entrance that instantly exudes warmth, thanks to its mezzanine and natural light streaming in. The ground floor lays open an inviting world—a sunny, garden-oriented living room featuring a snug wood stove. Imagine those chilly evenings, warmth emanating throughout, as you bask in the comfort of your own living space. And with not just one but two sliding doors opening onto the large garden and terrace, indoor-outdoor living can easily become your everyday lifestyle. In the heart of the home, the kitchen awaits.

Step outside on a Saturday morning and the first thing you notice isn't silence exactly — it's layered sound. A woodpecker working somewhere deep in the treeline. Crows lifting off from the birches at the edge of the plot. The soft creak of the veranda as the day warms up. This is Koekangerveldweg 38 in Koekange, Drenthe, and it announces itself through the senses long before you've even unlocked the door. The bungalow sits on a generous 1,254 square metre private plot within the Marterhaar recreational park, an unhurried green pocket of the Netherlands set between the small villages of Koekange, Ruinerwold, and De Wijk. Mature trees surround the garden on all sides — not as decoration, but as a genuine privacy screen. Squirrels cross the lawn with the confidence of homeowners. Deer pass through at dusk, especially in autumn, when the light turns amber through the canopy and the whole plot takes on the quality of a nature documentary. You don't get this kind of land, this close to nature, for this price very often. The property itself is a single-storey bungalow — three bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room with sliding doors that open directly onto the garden, and a kitchen that does its job without fuss. It's an honest space. It needs work. The roof received new EPDM covering in 2017, plastic window frames have been fitted, and parts of the floor carry insulation, but this is a renovation project for someone with a vision, not a turnkey handover. Think of it less as buying a finished house and more as acquiring an exceptional plot with a perfectly serviceable shell on it. The Red Cedar cladding on the exterior has aged well and gives the building a genuinely woodsy character that suits its surroundings. A carport, a ... click here to read more

Welcome to your next potential haven—a beautiful country home located at Schoterlandseweg 193, nestled in the charming village of Jubbega in the Netherlands. Let's take a stroll through this cozy nook and see what makes it so special and what daily life is like here. Built around 1935, this detached house has character and charm that's hard to find these days. Over the years, it's been extended, which means more space for your family or any plans you might have for the future. Speaking of space, you're looking at a generous plot of about 420 m². Imagine waking up every morning to free views front and back, embracing the peace and quiet on the outskirts of a delightful village. Jubbega is absolutely wonderful for overseas buyers and expats looking to settle into a welcoming community. The village offers all the basic amenities you would need. There’s a friendly general practitioner, a convenient supermarket, various shops, and sports clubs if you're keen on staying active. If you have children, or if you’re planning on starting a family, you'll be pleased to know that there's an outdoor swimming pool and a multifunctional center called De Kompenije. This center is fantastic, providing facilities for both young and old, including primary education. Additionally, the nearby Hoornsterzwaag area also has a primary school.

Saturday morning. You're sitting on the east-facing terrace with a coffee, the garden still carrying that faint damp smell of overnight dew on old oak bark. A blackbird is going at it somewhere in the shrubs along the fence. The park is quiet — other than that, nothing. No road noise, no neighbors' televisions, no city hum. Just 832 square meters of green in the heart of Friesland's most storied corner, and a bungalow that's been holding this spot since 1977 without making a fuss about it. This is Molenbosch 67. A three-bedroom recreational bungalow in Oldeberkoop — a village the Stellingwerven region has quietly called its pearl for decades — sitting on a private, tree-lined plot inside a well-maintained wooded park. At €199,000, it's one of the most accessible entry points into holiday property ownership in the northern Netherlands, and the kind of find that doesn't stay available long. The bungalow itself is honest. Built in 1977, it's largely in its original state, which means there's real work to be done if you want to modernize it — new kitchen, updated bathroom, improved insulation, energy efficiency. The energy label is G. This isn't a flip-it-and-forget-it property; it's a project with a clear upside, sitting on a plot that would be hard to find anywhere near this price in a location with this much going for it. For buyers who want to put their own stamp on a holiday home rather than paying a premium for someone else's renovation choices, this is it. The 51m² layout is compact and efficiently arranged. The living room runs to about 23m² — genuinely generous for a bungalow of this size — and opens directly onto the terrace via a garden door, so the boundary between inside and outside becomes fairly theoretical ... click here to read more

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

Seven in the morning, and you're standing on your own private deck with a mug of coffee, watching a heron pick its way along the far edge of the pond. The only sounds are birdsong, the occasional soft ripple of water, and somewhere behind you in the kitchen, the gas stove clicking to life. This is not a holiday you rented. This is yours. Boshoeve 319 sits on a 491-square-metre plot within Landgoed Het Grote Zand, a well-established recreational estate in Hooghalen, in the heart of the Dutch province of Drenthe. The bungalow was built in 2005 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — not "good condition" as a vague reassurance, but the kind of good where you walk in, put your bags down, and don't have a list of things to fix. It's offered fully furnished, which matters more than it sounds when you're buying from abroad and don't want to spend your first summer hauling flat-pack furniture across a car park. The layout across 95 square metres is smarter than you'd expect. Downstairs, a ground-floor bedroom with two box spring beds and its own en-suite shower room makes life easy for guests who'd rather not tackle stairs, or for owners who simply want everything on one level when they arrive on a Friday evening. The living room opens directly through double French doors onto the covered terrace — that transition between inside and outside is the soul of this property. In July, with the terrace doors folded back and a breeze coming off the water, the room feels twice its size. The kitchen is fully fitted: fridge-freezer, dishwasher, combination microwave, gas hob, extractor. There's also a utility room with its own garden door, which is the kind of detail you appreciate once you've come back from a long bike ride thro ... click here to read more

Saturday morning. You open the French doors off the living room and the forest is just there — not a view through a distant window, but actually there, close enough that you can smell the pine resin warming up in the early sun. A woodpecker is working somewhere in the trees. The coffee is on. This is what owning a vacation home in Hooghalen, Drenthe feels like, and it's not quite like anywhere else in the Netherlands. This thatched country home sits on a 514 m² private plot right on the edge of the forest at Estate Het Grote Zand, a well-run recreational park between Assen and Beilen in the heart of the Dutch province of Drenthe. The house is 90 square metres across two floors, sleeps six comfortably, and is genuinely move-in ready — not in the estate agent sense of "needs minor work", but in the sense that the kitchen is new, the bathroom is new, it's fully furnished, and you could spend your first weekend here without buying so much as a dish towel. The thatched roof is the first thing people notice. It's not decorative — it belongs here, in a landscape of hunebedden (ancient megalithic tombs), working farms, and heathlands that blaze purple every August. Drenthe has been doing this look for centuries, and this house wears it naturally. Inside, the layout is more generous than the footprint suggests. The hallway opens into a living room that genuinely surprises people — high ceilinged, light-filled, and airy. The open kitchen runs along one side: induction hob, dishwasher, combination microwave, fridge-freezer, extractor hood — everything you'd expect in a proper kitchen, not a holiday rental compromise. A gas fireplace anchors the far end of the room, and in October when the forest turns amber and the evenings get ... 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. The wood stove is still warm from last night, your coffee is brewing, and through the French doors you can see sunlight filtering through the pines at the edge of your garden. No neighbors in your sightline. Just birdsong, the smell of damp earth after rain, and the low hum of absolute quiet. This is what weekends are supposed to feel like — and at Calluna Oost 76, this is just the default setting. This fully renovated three-bedroom bungalow sits on a private 764 m² plot within Park Calluna, a small-scale recreational park that runs right up against the forests outside Ommen in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Small-scale matters here — this isn't a commercial holiday camp with communal pools and tannoy announcements. The park is low-key, well-kept, and genuinely quiet. Residents tend to be people who came for the trees and stayed for the peace. The house itself has been renovated with real care. Not a cosmetic refresh — the roof, floors, and walls are all insulated, every room runs on electric heating, the glazing is double throughout, and the whole property is fully all-electric. The energy efficiency isn't just good for the planet; it means running costs stay manageable year-round, which matters when you're factoring in the economics of a second home. The property comes fully furnished, too. You could book a viewing on a Friday and be drinking wine on that south-facing terrace by Saturday evening. Step inside and the layout makes immediate sense. The hallway opens cleanly into a living room that earns its place as the heart of the house — largely because of the soapstone wood stove anchoring one wall. Soapstone retains heat for hours after the fire dies down, which means on a cold October evening ... click here to read more
