What does Ossehaar offer?
Coevorden is a former garrison town where you'll find plenty of 1930s homes and older architecture, especially around the centre. You're fairly isolated in Drenthe, which means your neighbours tend to be families who actually want to stay put, not pass through. The Vecht river runs through the village and gives you a nice spot for walks, and Emmen is close by for bigger shops and services. Homes are affordable here compared to what you'd pay elsewhere, but you need to be comfortable with some distance.
