Drenthe is known as the "primordial province" of the Netherlands and attracts thousands of visitors every year who are looking for unspoiled nature and authentic tranquility. This popularity makes the province an excellent location for purchasing recreational real estate. The combination of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and affordable prices sets Drenthe apart from other Dutch provinces.

The province offers a unique mix of features that make it attractive to vacation home owners:

Natural beauty and recreation
Drenthe boasts vast forests, heathlands, and national parks such as the Drents-Friese Wold, Dwingelderveld, and the Drentsche Aa. These nature reserves offer infinite opportunities for hiking, cycling, and enjoying nature. The iconic dolmens and the annual TT event in Assen add cultural and sports dimensions to the region's appeal.
Affordable investment opportunities
With average prices around €200,000 and entry-level options ranging from €99,000 to €125,000, the Drenthe market for recreational homes is more accessible than many other Dutch regions. This affordability makes it possible to purchase a high-quality vacation home with relatively modest capital.
Stable market with growth potential
Over the past two years, the supply of recreational homes in Drenthe has decreased by 34%, while demand remains stable. This development suggests a healthy market with potential for value retention and growth, which is favorable for your investment.

Investment opportunities with a vacation home in Drenthe

When you buy a vacation home in Drenthe, various investment models are available to you. Each model offers specific advantages, depending on your personal goals and financial ambitions. It is important to think carefully in advance about how you want to use your vacation home. The three main models are:

For personal use only
With this option, you reserve the property entirely for yourself and your family. You enjoy maximum flexibility and can use your vacation home whenever you want. This model is ideal for those who want to relax regularly in Drenthe without worrying about rental obligations or planning around guests.
Full letting for return on investment
If you choose to rent out your vacation home in its entirety, you can benefit from attractive returns. Some developers offer guaranteed net returns of up to 6%, which ensures predictable income. Professional rental organizations take care of everything, from marketing to maintenance and guest services.
Combination of personal use and letting
This hybrid model offers the best balance between personal enjoyment and financial return. You decide when you use the property and when it is available for rent. This flexibility allows you to enjoy your investment while generating income that (partially) covers the operating costs.

De Huynen estate is undergoing plenty of development. Within the foreseeable future, we will begin the development of a beautiful luxury facility complex. Here, you can take a dip in an indoor pool or have lunch and dinner together at the restaurant. At the recreational lake at the park, you can sunbathe on the beach or find some refreshment in the water in summer.

At our park, you will deliberately not find an abundance of facilities, because we believe that the beauties and adventurous opportunities can be found in the environment we are in.

Take the next step towards your dream vacation home
