Buying a home in Verspreide huizen De Heurne, De Heurne.

You're looking at scattered farmhouses and newer builds spread across open countryside near Aalten, right on the German border. The homes here tend toward space: bigger plots, privacy, room to breathe. Most of your neighbours work the land or commute to towns nearby. There's a quiet, working-agricultural feel to the place—no village centre to speak of, but that's partly why you get land for your money.
