Starting price: € 775,000 costs buyer. Reimslaan 167 – where living becomes life again Some places need no explanation. You feel it the moment you enter the property: space, silence, air, greenery. Reimslaan 167 is such a place. A detached home that is more than just a house – this is a way of life. Here you live at the green forest edge, in one of the most beautiful locations in Oosterwold, surrounded by gardens, vegetable plots, paths and people who consciously choose sustainability, freedom and self-sufficiency. This is living with the seasons. In spring, the first fresh green shoots appear between the garden beds; in summer, the scent of herbs drifts along the path; in autumn, the full harvest from your own garden. Standing behind the house, you look out over the largest food forest in Europe. The generous plot of 895 m² lies both behind and on either side of the house, with the vegetable garden and orchard on the left and the traditional clothesline on the right. Here you can slow down, where urban noise gives way to birdsong and the soft rustling of plants in the wind. Both the front and rear of the house are freely situated, as if the landscape itself chose to create breathing space right here. As soon as you step inside, the sense of calm is immediately noticeable. The light-grey Marmoleum floor, the daylight streaming through the windows, the cosy living room and the new pellet stove that becomes a trusted companion on cooler evenings. In the eat-in kitchen, you cook with what the garden provides, and through the two sets of French doors you step straight back into outdoor living. In the adjoining utility room, you can process the harvest, store supplies or simply create a quiet workspace. Upstairs, the house feels surprisingly spacious thanks to the high ceilings. Two bedrooms and a bright bathroom complete this floor. The atmosphere is simple and serene, ready to be made your own. Outside, life continues. Along shell paths, past the lawn, past the rain barrel that collects rainwater, past the storage shed that is ideal for tools, storage or keeping materials for your urban farming. Here you can do what is rarely possible elsewhere: grow your own food, shape your own landscape, choose your own rhythm. The veranda is a wonderful place to relax and can also be added to the living area (GFA), creating an additional 30 m² of living space on the ground floor. And despite the free, rural feeling, you live surprisingly close to all daily amenities. Supermarkets, shops and facilities are nearby, several schools are within cycling distance, and since recently there is even a local community bus. Yet once you are home, the world feels far away. Living in Oosterwold means participating in the Kavelwegvereniging: maintaining together and making decisions together. It does not feel like an obligation, but like being part of a small community that consciously chooses connection. You do not just live somewhere, you belong somewhere. Anyone who visits Reimslaan 167 immediately understands why Oosterwold is so beloved. Not because you have to, but because you may. Because it is possible. Because it feels right. This is not a house you simply view – this is a place you experience.

Personal note from the seller: My dream was to build a wooden house, and thanks to the company Kvist I moved into my mini-villa at Reimslaan 167 on 17 January 2020. The house fits me perfectly; a wooden house truly breathes with you. Together with our VvE Boezemburen we have shared many wonderful moments, and perhaps even more importantly, it connects to the sense of neighbourliness I know from my childhood in the Achterhoek. The reason I am moving is that I will be living a little further on at Eemgoed, in a smaller single-level home with less land and more shared aspects of living and life. So I am certainly not leaving Oosterwold. I sincerely hope that someone else will love my home just as much as I have. It does hurt a little to say goodbye, but I am moving forward with good courage: Eemgoed Algoed! “How beautiful it is in Oosterwold not to get stuck in everyday obligations but to feel what it is like to truly be allowed to greet” @Mick
