Four-Bedroom Village Home

The Home

This is a four-bedroom house of 450 m2 on a stand of 5 211 m2 on the Main Road through Baardskeerdersbos, the road that runs from Gansbaai to Elim and Bredasdorp. Open-plan living flows into a large indoor braai entertainment area with room for a pool table, so the house works for family and guests in every season.

The open-plan kitchen has granite tops and plenty of cupboards, and it links straight to the braai area. A separate semi-kitchen or scullery at the back has a sink, a pantry and space for extra fridges and chest freezers.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

All four bedrooms are oversized. The main bedroom has walk-in closets and a full en-suite bathroom with a bath and a shower. The second bedroom is as generous and has its own bathroom with a shower. The third and fourth bedrooms are linked by a passage, and each has its own bathroom with a shower.

That makes four bathrooms in all: the main en-suite with a bath and a shower, and three with a shower only, without bathtubs. A separate guest toilet is kept for visitors.

Outdoor Living

A large tiled patio carries a built-in outside braai and faces the mountains around the village, a place for long summer evenings.

Baardskeerdersbos

Baardskeerdersbos, B'bos to locals, is a small village in the Overberg, in Overstrand Municipality. It sits on the southern slopes of Perdekop at the foot of the Boskloof, with the Boesmansrivier just south of the village. Fynbos, farmland and mountain ridges surround it, and it is known for its artists, its flower and cattle farming and its rural pace.

Gansbaai is about 20 km to the west and Hermanus roughly 35 to 40 km, with Stanford, Elim and Bredasdorp within easy reach. Cape Town is about 170 km away. Schools and services are in Gansbaai and Stanford, and the coast and Walker Bay are a short drive off.

Business Rights

Business rights are available through an application to Overstrand Municipality. A position on the Main Road gives the house visibility and easy access, but buyers should confirm the zoning, any rights that already exist and the application process with the municipality.

Security

Burglar bars are fitted all round the house, except on the doors.
