Welcome to Havelte, a place rich in nature and the pearl of Drenthe! Completed in 2023, this home sits on approximately 500 m² of land within a small-scale recreational park that lacks amenities such as a reception desk, playground, etc. Peace and quiet are guaranteed. This wheelchair-accessible vacation home is situated between farmland and the forest. The villa features a fenced-in garden, a 50 m² terrace with luxury patio furniture, and a deck by the water. Both the ground floor and the first floor have a bedroom and a luxury bathroom, making the home suitable for multiple generations. For the little ones, amenities include a crib, a baby bathtub, and a high chair. Underfloor heating throughout the house, the very luxurious furnishings, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning in every room ensure a very comfortable stay. The French doors open to a lush view of the garden by the water. You can store your bike in the shed. There is parking for two cars, one of which can be parked under the carport. A charging station is available.
Nature and surroundings
The house is the ideal base for hiking and biking enthusiasts. Located between three national parks (Weerribben, Dwingelderveld, and Drents-Friese Wold), you’ll have plenty of junction-based routes to choose from. A winery is located within 1 kilometer. Just 5 kilometers away, you can visit the beautiful Holtingerveld nature reserve, featuring vast forests, heathlands, and sand drifts. The nature reserve also features attractions such as a butterfly garden, a sheepfold, dolmens, a golf course, and an airstrip with bomb craters from World War II. The village of Havelte offers plenty of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, a supermarket, a snack bar, various restaurants and cafes, and charming little shops. For a day of more extensive shopping, you can visit the nearby (approx. 10 km) historic towns of Meppel or Steenwijk. For even more extensive shopping, head to Zwolle (30 km) or Assen (40 km). Just 15 km away, you can rent an electric boat in the water village of Giethoorn.

The house is very cozy and fully furnished. It has all the amenities you could need. Every time you walk in, you feel welcome and right at home! It’s also a great place to relax outdoors. A cozy patio and a beautiful garden complete the vacation experience.
Het huis is erg gezellig en zeer compleet ingericht. Het is van alle gemakken voorzien. Iedere keer als je er binnen stapt voel je je welkom en thuis! Ook buiten is het goed toeven. Een gezellig terras en een mooie tuin maakt het vakantiegevoel compleet.
This nature house is located in a small-scale bungalow park characterized by peace and space. It is situated just under two kilometers outside the center of Havelte. The surrounding natural landscape is very diverse, offering a beautiful mix of forests, heathlands, farm fields, and meadows. The area is ideal for hiking and biking. You can fish from a dock behind the house, but it’s better to head to one of the nearby canals.
Dit natuurhuisje ligt in een kleinschalig bungalowpark, waarvan rust en ruimte het kenmerk is. Het ligt een kleine twee km. buiten het centrum van Havelte. De natuur in de omgeving is zeer divers en een mooie mix van bossen, heidevelden, akkers en weilanden. De omgeving is uitermate geschikt voor wandelingen en fietstochten. Vissen kan vanaf een steiger achter het huis, maar beter is om naar een van de dichtbij gelegen kanalen te gaan.

It was great again!
Het was weer top!
After spending three consecutive years staying at Ingrid and Dirk’s house in Havelte, it almost feels like coming home when we park the car under the carport and unload the bikes. Actually, that’s not really surprising, because it’s a beautiful, spacious house, fully equipped with all the amenities and wonderfully peaceful. Of course, we did a lot of biking and hiking again. Whether it’s Giethoorn, the Dwingelderveld, or the Drents-Friese Wold, they’re all within biking distance of Havelte. An afternoon strolling around Meppel or simply climbing one of the Hunenbedden near the Johannes Post Barracks after dinner. The days fly by, and before you know it, you’re leaving beautiful Havelte behind and cycling home along the lovely IJssel River—which is also well worth the trip.
Na drie opeenvolgende jaren van vertoeven in het huis van Ingrid en Dirk in Havelte voelt het bijna als thuiskomen wanneer we de auto onder de carport schuiven en de fietsen afladen. Eigenlijk niet heel erg verwonderlijk want het is een prachtig ruim huis, van alle gemakken voorzien en heerlijk rustig. Natuurlijk weer veel gefietst en gewandeld. Of het nu Giethoorn is, het Dwingelderveld of het Drents-Friese wold ze bevinden zich allemaal op fietsafstand van Havelte. Een middagje rondslenteren in Meppel of gewoon na het eten nog even klauteren op één van de hunenbedden bij de Johannes Post kazerne. De dagen vliegen voorbij en voor je het weet laat je het mooie Havelte weer achter je en fiets je weer thuis langs de mooie IJssel; ook zeer de moeite waard.

It's a lovely house with everything you need. And it's located in a beautiful, quiet little park.
Het is een mooi huis waar alles wat je nodig hebt aanwezig is. En het ligt op een mooi en rustig parkje.
We just spent some quiet days there. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, we weren't able to go for as many walks as we would have liked, but we really relaxed and recharged there.
Wij hebben er enkel rustige dagen doorgebracht. Helaas hebben wij door omstandigheden niet zoveel kunnen wandelen als we hadden gewilt, maar we zijn er heerlijk tot rust gekomen.
