Buying a home in Verspreide huizen de Broekstreek, Mantinge.
You're looking at a landscape that feels genuinely rural: scattered farmhouses and small holdings spread across fields in Mantinge's Broekstreek. This isn't a neighborhood with close neighbors or streetlights; instead, you get open sky, wetlands nearby, and a quiet that most people only dream about. Homes here tend to be older, often farmhouses or converted barns that require character and patience to restore. If you're drawn to space, land, and genuine solitude rather than café culture and walkable amenities, this corner of Midden-Drenthe delivers exactly that.

Pros:
- Village-scale quiet: no through-traffic, no city noise, immediate access to moorland and forest on foot
- Detached homes with generous plots; most houses have room to expand or add outbuildings
- Cheap land and property prices compared to any town within 40 km
- Coevorden, Emmen and Assen are each 20–30 minutes by car for work, shopping, hospital
Cons:
- No public transport; you need a car for everything, including groceries if you don't like the small local shops
- School runs mean driving: nearest secondary schools are in Coevorden or Emmen
- Sparse utilities: broadband is patchy, water/gas/sewerage not guaranteed depending on exact address
- Social life is thin: no café, no restaurant, no cinema within walking distance; you're dependent on driving to Emmen or Coevorden
Finding a home in Mantinge
Mantinge is where you'll find solid brick family homes on plots large enough to actually have a garden—the kind of place where neighbours have known each other for years. It's quiet without feeling cut off: you're 15 minutes by car from Beilen and Hoogeveen, where the real shops and services are. The landscape around you is pure Drenthe: open fields, scattered farmsteads, a sense of room.
