3 Bedroom House in Barrydale

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated study and a fully self-contained flatlet on a 712m2 erf wrapped in one of Barrydale''s most established gardens.

This is a home that earns its keep. Whether you need a permanent 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. The open-plan lounge and kitchen is generous and filled with light.

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. Timber construction in fibre-cement cladding keeps the interior notably cool through Klein Karoo summers and warm in winter, and requires very little upkeep.

The large covered stoep opens directly onto the garden with its mountain backdrop, and becomes 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 and covered verandas link it to the main house without compromising its privacy.

Outdoors

A mature, thriving garden of established trees and planting 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. 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 Small Town of the Year, the village offers artisan distilleries, award-winning wine estates, a country hotel welcoming guests since 1888, and a creative community drawing semigrants and lifestyle buyers in growing numbers.
