Miller’s Cottage in a Private Woodland Retreat – Oudega, Gaasterland
Hidden in the rolling landscape of Gaasterland, tucked away behind a gate and sheltered by mature trees, lies this enchanting miller’s cottage known as *“De Hersteller”*. Once belonging to the Groote Noordwolder polder mill (1818–1918), this historic hideaway is now a tranquil retreat where nature, silence, and inspiration reign.
Positioned along a quiet dike on the banks of the clear-watered Rien river, the home enjoys full privacy on a 2,194 m² freehold plot with its own woodland, flower borders, sun-drenched terraces and panoramic views of Friesland’s soft green hills. The protected nature of Gaasterland surrounds you: forests, lakes, cliffs and endless skies.
The cottage has been lovingly preserved with original details and modest comforts. It offers a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, simple yet atmospheric kitchen, two bedrooms with dormer views over the river, a cellar, bathroom and a charming utility room known locally as a ‘klompenhok’. A wooden shed, greenhouse and long private driveway complete the picture.
Perfect for those seeking peace, reflection, or a base for nature and water sports. The regional village of Balk with all amenities is nearby, and the Randstad is within just over an hour's drive.
Highlights:
-Unique historic miller’s home in private setting
-Surrounded by woodland, water and wildlife
-Located in Gaasterland near lakes, forests and IJsselmeer
-Mooring options nearby in Balk or Woudsend
-Golf course, riding trails, sailing and swimming within minutes
-Ideal as a second home or serene primary residence
-Amsterdam approx. 75 minutes by car
GAASTERLAND/OUDEGA (municipality of De Friese Meren)
Gaasterland is one of the most beautiful regions in Friesland, known for its rolling landscape, ancient forests, large lakes, dramatic cliffs, and picturesque villages. From Oudega, you can walk or cycle straight into nature—whether it’s the historic Rijsterbos, the Mirnse Cliff on the IJsselmeer, or the Oudemirdum Cliff with its small beach. Within five minutes, you’ll reach the Slotermeer near Balk or the stunning Fluessen near Woudsend, both offering opportunities for a berth in one of the marinas.
The 18-hole Golfclub Gaasterland is set in the woods and offers a challenging course, popular among locals and city dwellers from the Randstad who own second homes in the area.
Although Oudega is a small village, it has a community center, a primary school, and a close-knit, welcoming atmosphere. For broader amenities, you can head to nearby Balk, where you’ll find supermarkets, specialty shops, schools, restaurants, and medical services.
In summer, the region comes alive with small-scale festivals, local markets, and cultural events—from classical concerts in historic churches to sailing regattas on the Fluessen and Slotermeer.
