Company info

In 1988 I moved from the UK to the Netherlands, to Leidschendam, near The Hague in the West of Holland until the summer of 2020. I absolutely love Holland, the Dutch people and their habbits! I learned to speak Dutch during an intensive language course at Regina Coeli, a famous language centre in Vught back in 1988. I probably speak more Dutch than English nowadays. I feel completely at home here. I have travelled a lot in the past, but now I am 100% content living here in Blauwestad. It is such a fabulous place to be able to relax and unwind and enjoy the outdoors. You are very welcome.

Property info

I am Gail Wright. We moved here to Blauwestad in 2020. Blauwestad is a beautiful new recreational area in North East Groningen (very near to the German border). It is famous for watersports and its large man-made "Oldambtmeer" lake. We love living here and enjoy the impressive clouds, skies and the peace and quiet. It is a great place for fishing, cycling, walking and boating. Our villa is located only 12 kms from a natural "Thermen" spa in Bad Nieuweschans.

Neighborhood info

Blauwestad is 5 kms from Winschoten and 40 kms (a 30 minute drive) from the beautiful and vibrant city of Groningen. It is also a 30 minute drive to the lovely German town of Leer. Winschoten has good restaurants and facilities including a very good train connection to Groningen (and Leer!). You can hire a boat (an open boat or a sail boat) at one of the harbours at the lakeside. An enjoyable experience!
