Living in Hikkemieden

In Hikkemieden, the focus is on living in the outdoors. You will live in peace and quiet here, with a view of the meadows and bodies of water, while still being close to the amenities of the village. The first phase of the district has already been completed. Phase 2 will further expand Hikkemieden with new houses that fit in well with the existing neighbourhood and the character of Wirdum.

Aesthetics regulations

The aesthetics regulations determine what houses should look like, what materials and colours can be used and how you can erect fences or other yard fences. The aim is an attractive neighbourhood that is cohesive and offers room for different styles.

Planning

  • Free plots
    The 5 free plots from phase 2 have already been sold. Construction of these houses is expected to start in 2026.
  • Semi-detached houses
    The 4 plots for semi-detached houses were not sold separately. The local authority is currently looking for a developer that will design, construct and sell the houses.
  • Social housing
    In early February, WoonFriesland will start construction of 12 public-sector rented units.
  • Affordable owner-occupied homes
    In addition to free plots and social housing, there will also be owner-occupied homes. 2 mid-terraced houses and 2 end-terraced houses. Registration for these houses closed on 6 February. Once we know more about the next steps, we will publish the information on this website.
  • Next phase: the island
    In the next phase, the island in Hikkemieden will be prepared for construction work. We will build roads and organise the area with lots of water. There will be 7 free plots on the island. Sale is expected to start in February 2026.

A map of the district provides an accurate overview of the plots and planning.

Start of sale – 4 starter homes

The sale of 4 newly constructed starter homes will begin soon. This concerns 2 mid-terraced houses and 2 end-terraced houses, ideal for people looking for an affordable, energy-efficient home.

Prices (no additional costs payable by the purchaser)
