- t0mas88People don't really live there, these are holiday/recreational homes. My family owns two of those islands with a holiday home.Typically you use them for the weekend. My mom for example lives in a busy city and has a small garden, she uses the holiday home as a weekend getaway and a place to keep the sailing boat.The Netherlands are small and this area is very central, about 20 minutes drive from Amsterdam or Utrecht. So most owners use it in the same way.
- DivingForGoldI read these properties are actually some of the most expensive properties in The Netherlands ($ million dollar).But no electricity (need generator) and you cannot drive your car to your lakehouse.Plus, I bet the mosquitos are horrible, it is a former swamp.
