Buying a home in Jipsinghuizen en Plaggenborg, Sellingen.
You're looking at two quiet neighborhoods that sit on the edge of Sellingen, both lined with detached homes and gardens—the kind of place where you know your neighbors but you're not packed in. Plaggenborg has the slightly more rural feel, with farmland still visible from your back door; Jipsinghuizen is a touch closer to the town center but keeps that same open-air calm. Both are within easy reach of the Hondsrug, so if cycling into the forests and moorlands appeals to you, you're minutes away. This is where people come when they want space and quiet without actually moving to the countryside.
