A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY HOME WITH SPACE, CHARM AND POSSIBILITIES

Set in the little village of Herbertsdale, this beautifully cared-for three-bedroom home has the proportions, character and country atmosphere that make village living so appealing.

The first thing you notice is the lovely veranda running across the front of the house. With its white columns, deep roofline and broad steps leading up from the garden, it gives the home that unmistakable country-house look. It is the sort of veranda that makes you think of sitting outside with a cup of coffee, watching the garden wake up in the morning.

Step inside and the house continues to surprise.

The kitchen is full of country character. Warm wooden cupboards, a large freestanding stove, a striking patterned backsplash and a big solid wooden dining table give this room a personality of its own. The back door opens onto the garden, bringing the outside in and making this a wonderful gathering place for family and friends.

The sitting room and dining room are generous, with plenty of natural light and space for comfortable family living. The three bedrooms are spacious too, giving this home a lovely sense of room rather than simply a collection of bedrooms and smaller living areas.

Outside, the established garden is one of the property`s real pleasures. Neatly clipped hedges, flowering plants, mature trees, a lawn stretching out in front of the house and the charming little gate all add to its appeal.

And look beyond the garden.

This is where Herbertsdale really comes into its own.

The village is small, but the countryside around it is anything but ordinary. Farms and green agricultural land stretch towards the hills, with game country, mountains and vineyards forming the wider landscape.

You are close to Jakkalsvlei Private Cellar, where the vineyards and surrounding countryside make for a wonderful local destination, and the wider area is known for game reserves including Gondwana Private Game Reserve.

It is a rare combination: a proper little country village, beautiful farming country all around you, and the Garden Route coast within reach.

And then there is the extra space...

This is where the property becomes particularly interesting for an entrepreneurial buyer.

There is substantial additional space on the property which could, subject to the required approvals and alterations, lend itself to guest accommodation or a small Bed & Breakfast.

Imagine living in the main house and creating a few comfortable guest rooms alongside it — giving visitors a base from which to explore Herbertsdale, Jakkalsvlei, the surrounding game country and the Garden Route.

For someone looking for a home with room to live, room to entertain and room to create something more, this property offers a very interesting opportunity.

It could be your family home.

It could be your country escape.

It could become a small B&B.

Or perhaps, with a little imagination, it could become all three.

Come and see it. Walk through the rooms, stand on the veranda and look across the garden towards the hills.

You will understand why this one is worth a closer look.
