Property Details
Welcome to a soulfully designed 3-bedroom home where timeless charm meets modern sustainability, quietly tucked away in one of Barrydale’s most desirable north-facing locations. Set on a 743m² erf with approximately 225m² under roof, this semi off-grid sanctuary offers three spacious bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a seamless blend of privacy, natural beauty, and practical comfort.
Once part of a historic “nagmal” home, this unique residence retains its original character with handcrafted quarry tiles, thatched touches, and wood-burning fireplaces that bring warmth and heritage into the living spaces. Every room looks out onto the lush garden, inviting in dappled light and creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors.
The heart of the home is a beautifully enclosed L-shaped veranda, currently configured as a multifunctional space with a home gym, cosy lounges, and a spacious indoor entertainment area featuring a built-in braai and fireplace. This flexible zone effortlessly adapts to the seasons—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the quiet sounds of the garden.
Inside, a formal lounge with a wood-burning fireplace flows into a thatch-roofed dining area that opens directly onto the patio. The kitchen is designed with practicality in mind, offering ample storage and workspace without unnecessary frills. Two of the three bedrooms include their own en-suite bathrooms, while the third bedroom offers versatility ideal as a guest room, study, or man cave. A separate guest bathroom completes the layout.
The garden is a true haven, fully irrigated and rich with mature trees, flowering roses, and a variety of fruit trees. Tucked among the greenery is a solar-heated jacuzzi with a wood-fired option—an inviting spot to unwind in all seasons. Additional features include two JoJo tanks, access to lei water, and a 5.5m x 3m Wendy house.
The home is semi off the grid thanks to a DEYE 8kVA inverter, 10kW battery system, and solar panels that power the property, especially helpful during loadshedding. Enhanced security is provided by CCTV throughout, an alarm system, and secure off-street parking with a covered carport and space for additional vehicles.
Situated in Barrydale, a thriving village in the heart of the Klein Karoo, the property enjoys a sense of seclusion while being part of a well-established, creative community. The town offers convenient access to major routes and all essential amenities, making this an ideal choice for either a permanent residence or a private retreat.
For buyers seeking a distinctive home with thoughtful design, eco-conscious upgrades, and a deep connection to nature, this Barrydale gem delivers on every level.
