SOLE MANDATE

Welcome to this spacious and thoughtfully designed three-bedroom home in the heart of Barrydale, a beloved village in the Klein Karoo region of the Overberg. Ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life, this home offers comfort, functionality, and the freedom of off grid living in one of the Western Cape’s most scenic and creative communities.

Inside, the home offers a practical and welcoming layout with three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. This design allows for both privacy and ease of living—perfect for families, multi-generational households, or those who regularly host guests. From the moment you enter, it’s clear this home was made for relaxed, everyday comfort.

The open-plan kitchen is a standout feature, boasting marble countertops, an extensive utility island, and a separate scullery. With ample shelving and space for appliances such as dishwashers and double-door fridges, the kitchen is perfectly equipped for preparing meals, entertaining, or simply enjoying slow mornings with Karoo light streaming in through the windows.

The lounge is warm and inviting, centered around a built-in fireplace for cozy winter evenings. It flows effortlessly onto a sheltered outdoor braai area, ideal for laid-back weekends and summer evenings with family and friends. If you prefer quiet solitude or lively gatherings, this home adapts easily to your needs.


A generous upstairs loft space adds even more value and versatility to the home. Currently used as a dual-purpose work and creative zone, with a home office on one side and a fashion design studio on the other, the loft can easily become an extra bedroom, yoga space, playroom, or hobby room. The possibilities are endless.

Outdoors, the home is set on terraced grounds that blend beautifully with Barrydale’s natural landscape. Water features, duck ponds, and indigenous plantings create a sense of serenity and connection to the environment. A salt-chlorinated swimming pool with a nearby guest bathroom offers the perfect way to cool down on warm summer days.

This property is fully equipped for sustainable, off-grid living. A robust solar energy system powers the home, while a reliable borehole supplies ample water. Additional features such as gas geysers, multiple water tanks, window shutters, and an automated double garage ensure a smooth, self-sufficient lifestyle without compromising on modern comforts.

Barrydale continues to attract homebuyers from across South Africa and abroad for its unique mix of small-town charm, creative culture, and dramatic Karoo landscapes. This home places you within easy reach of the village’s cafe´s, shops, art studios, and wine cellars—while offering peace, privacy, and plenty of space to live life on your terms.
