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.

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.

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.
