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.

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.

Everything was absolutely great. You can enjoy a very peaceful meal outside when the weather permits. There’s air conditioning for the hot days. Communication with the owners was also very smooth, and there was plenty of information about things to do in the area. We stayed there for a week, and it definitely went by way too fast.
Alles was top in orde. Je kan buiten zeer rustig eten als het weer het toe laat. Er is airco voor de warme dagen. Het contact met de eigenaars loopt ook zeer vlot en er was info in overvloed over zaken in de buurt. We zaten er een week en die was duidelijk veel te snel voorbij.
We were there for a week, and we really felt like we'd need a month to do everything we wanted to do in the area. It's a very peaceful setting, perfect for biking or hiking. You can also go fishing nearby if you'd like.
We waren er een week, en hadden vooral het gevoel dat we een maand nodig zouden hebben om alles te doen wat we wouden doen in de buurt. Zeer rustige omgeving, fantastisch om te gaan fietsen of wandelen. Je kan ook vissen in de buurt moest je dat willen.
