Step into a home where history, space and peaceful country living come together. Set on an impressive 7 352 m² property made up of four separate erven, this unique Bethulie residence offers exceptional privacy, beautiful established gardens and an enviable position within walking distance of the dam and town centre.
The main home offers three spacious bedrooms, one full bathroom and a separate guest toilet. A large sunroom is currently used as a fourth bedroom when family and guests visit. The main bedroom has air-conditioning, while the generous living spaces and character-filled interiors create a warm, welcoming home for everyday family life.
A garage, two storerooms and an outside toilet provide useful parking and storage. The property also includes a braai area, wooden children's play area and an alarm system for added peace of mind.
Water security is a major advantage. Two boreholes and a 5 000-litre JoJo tank support the home and extensive grounds. The established garden includes brick-built raised vegetable beds, chicken runs, rose bushes, Revoluta cycads, mature Olivewood and eucalyptus trees, indigenous vegetation and a productive selection of fruit trees. These include pomegranates, apricots, figs, kumquats, a grape arbour, nine lemon trees, wild olives and prickly pears.
The seller advises that two adult peacocks, which have become part of the property's special character, are included in the sale. Their inclusion should be recorded in the final sale agreement.
The property is approximately one block from the town centre and within walking distance of the Bethulie Dam and dam wall. It stands opposite the Pellissier House Museum and historic Pellissier family graves. According to the seller, the lower boundary reaches the river when the dam overflows.
According to the history supplied by the seller, the residence dates to the late 1920s and has long been known locally as the Postmaster's House. It is also reported that pianist Benjamin Fourie once lived here and entertained members of the community with private concerts. Buyers who regard the property's historical provenance as material should verify these details independently.
This is far more than an ordinary home. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy generous space, strong water security, mature gardens and a fascinating local story in a historic Free State town. Contact MB Properties to arrange your private viewing.
