The flatlet at the back is the reason this Barrydale home earns its keep long after you've moved in.
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dedicated study make up the main residence, on a 712m² erf wrapped in one of Barrydale's most established gardens. Whether the buyer needs a family base with rental income attached, a work-from-home setup with genuinely separate quarters, or a private retreat with independent guest accommodation, the layout already accommodates all three without alteration.
The main residence: Three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study give the home real flexibility, opening onto a generous, light-filled open-plan lounge and kitchen. Large windows run throughout, so mature trees and mountain views are part of every room. Cement and wooden floors are warm underfoot and low maintenance, and timber construction in fibre-cement cladding keeps the interior notably cool through Klein Karoo summers and warm in winter, with very little upkeep required. The large covered stoep opens directly onto the garden and its mountain backdrop — the natural centre of daily life here.
The flatlet: Approximately 30m², open-plan, with its own kitchenette and completely independent access, ready for immediate occupation. It works as a rental unit, a home office, a guest suite or a studio, with covered verandas linking it to the main house without compromising its privacy.
The garden delivers genuine privacy and deep shade — the kind of outdoor living this climate was made for, without the watering schedule a young garden demands. A dipping pool sits tucked beneath the trees, alongside two carports and off-street parking.
The location: Barrydale sits on Route 62 between the Langeberg and the Warmwaterberg, roughly two and a half hours from Cape Town. Recently named Daily Maverick's Best Small Town for 2025, the village offers artisan distilleries, award-winning wine estates, a country hotel that has welcomed guests since 1888, and a creative community drawing semigrants and lifestyle buyers in growing numbers.
Set on 712m² and pet friendly, this home is available to view by appointment.
