New housing estate Hikkemieden
Hikkemieden is the newest neighbourhood in Wirdum, with space for about 71 houses. The district combines modern living comforts with the nature of Friesland. Hikkemieden is located on the outskirts of Wirdum, with the tranquillity of the countryside yet close to village amenities.
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 houses have already been built, but the district continues to grow. We will dig a waterway around the summer of 2026. This will create a small peninsula on open water, with space for 7 open market plots and 8 plots for semi-detached houses. The first open market plots are now available, and you will find more information about them on this page.
Sale of open market plot 24 on Het Eiland
To the north of It Blauleech, a peninsula is being created where you can live on the waterfront. There are open market plots for detached houses on Het Eiland. Plot 24 is once again available. The size of the plot is 670 m² and it offers space to design and build your own house.
You can register (opens in new tab) until Monday 30 November at 11.59 pm. If there are multiple registrations, the plot will be allocated by means of a draw. After the closing date, we will inform you whether you are being allocated a plot.
Planning
- Construction work in the public space
In November 2026, we will start getting the area ready for construction. We will dig the waterways around the island, install the utilities and build the road. - Semi-detached houses on Het Eiland
In early 2027, the local authority will start up a selection procedure to choose a developer. Interested developers can register for the selection procedure. The developer that is chosen will design, build and sell the detached houses. - Open market plots on It Blauleech and Het Eiland
The 5 open market plots on It Blauleech have been sold. The owners can start the construction works at any time. On Het Eiland, 6 of the 7 open market plots are under option. - Semi-detached houses on It Blauleech
Plots 3 and 4 on It Blauleech have been sold. The local authority is including plots 1 and 2 in the selection procedure for a developer. - Social housing
WoonFriesland completed the 12 social rental homes in early 2026. The homes are now all occupied. - Affordable owner-occupied homes (starter homes)
Hikkemieden will soon have 4 affordable owner-occupied homes for first-time buyers: 2 mid-terraced houses and 2 end-terraced houses. All houses have been sold. Completion is planned for November or December 2026.
