This luxurious, sustainably built nature house is situated in a very rural location in Central Groningen, in the hamlet of De Paauwen. The nature house is located behind the owners’ home, with its own entrance and a stunning, unobstructed view across the farmland toward the Schildmeer. The quiet road is a dead end. The cottage is situated between the Schildmeer and the ’t Roegwold nature reserve. Hiking and biking trails start right outside the door. The 45 m² cottage accommodates 2 people and features a living room with a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and a separate toilet, and a bedroom with a large box-spring bed. With two sets of French doors and the terrace, you’ll always have opportunities to sit outside. Enjoy the peace and quiet, the beautiful views, and the sunrises. You’ll spend the night in a wonderfully quiet setting and wake up to the cheerful chirping of birds. Since the owners have cats, dogs are unfortunately not allowed.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is adjacent to the ’t Roegwold nature reserve, which is characterized by a mix of open water, grasslands, scrubland, (reed) marshes, and small woodlands. It stretches from Kolham to the Schildmeer. There are 40 kilometers of hiking and biking trails here, and a “log path” where you can walk across the water. The map is ready for you. The area is also known for its unique plant and insect species, as well as rare bird species that attract birdwatchers from all over the country. The Schildmeer is a 4-kilometer bike ride away. Here you can go canoeing, sailing, or relax on one of the patios at the various restaurants and cafes. On the southern shore of the Schildmeer, you’ll find the 9-hole Duurswold Golf Course. The city of Groningen is a 15-minute drive away. From here, you can also easily take a day trip to Germany or one of the Wadden Islands. There’s a supermarket 5 km away in Schildwolde.

    A wonderful cottage with a cozy interior. It has everything you need; the chairs are comfortable, and the bed is very comfortable to sleep in.
    The view from the patio is lush and expansive, and it’s very peaceful. There are sheep in the pasture, swallows flying past the cottage, and in the distance, I can hear and see buzzards.
