About this property
Villa in Drents-Friese Forest with Pool
Forest Luxury with Poolside Peace
Escape to tranquility at this charming 3-bedroom villa nestled in the heart of the Drents-Friese Forest. Set on a private 2000 m² forest plot, this warm and welcoming retreat offers stylish comfort for families and friends. Enjoy slow mornings in the colorful living room, prepare fresh meals in the open kitchen, and unwind in the spacious garden. The heated private pool (open April to October) and Ibiza-style covered terrace with outdoor fireplace make it perfect for laid-back afternoons and cozy evenings under the stars.
Adventure for Two- and Four-Legged Explorers
Bring your dog along—this home is a paradise for pet lovers! Just steps from your door, explore the largest shifting sand dunes in the Netherlands. Discover scenic trails through woodlands, fields, and nature reserves, ideal for leash-free strolls and energetic fetch sessions. Nearby Diever welcomes pets in many cafés and even hosts dog-friendly Shakespeare performances in the open air. End the day with a peaceful walk under the forest canopy, right in your backyard.
Nature, Culture & Local Flavors
This peaceful village setting is rich with adventure. Visit charming Havelte with its butterfly garden and golf course, or explore the historic dolmen sites nearby. The town of Diever (10 minutes away) offers cafés, dining, and seasonal outdoor theatre. A short drive takes you to Emmen Zoo or hidden local gems perfect for a day trip. After a day of discovery, fire up the BBQ (available on request) and dine al fresco in your private garden sanctuary.
