2 Bedroom House for sale in Riebeek Kasteel

This imposing double storey property was built to provide a comfortable country haven. The Spanish terracotta floor tiles, combined with a thatched roof, ensures that this home provides a cool refuge during the hot Swartland summers. The courtyard, with a large irrigation dam (filled from a borehole) doubling up as a swimming pool, provides a secluded wind free haven for alfresco dining and entertaining. A large fireplace in the lounge provides for cozy winter evenings. With eleven double doors, the well established garden and the surrounding mountain views provide a constant reminder that you are living in the countryside. The ground floor has one large bedroom with a double door leading to the courtyard. The Victorian bathroom with authentic brass taps has a bath, shower, basin, and toilet. The open plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with Oregon Pine and Rhodesian Teak cabinetry, accesses the courtyard and front stoep from double doors. The upper storey with its magnificent double volume thatch ceiling is currently utilised as a second bedroom and artist’s studio. The floor structure was designed to be load-bearing making it possible to convert this space into additional bedrooms and bathrooms. The garage can accommodate four cars. This well maintained home provides a sense of permanence and gracious living and has been occupied by the same owners for twenty five years.
