3-Bedroom Semi Off-Grid Home with Solar Power, Jacuzzi & Forest-Style Garden – Barrydale

This north-facing three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home in Barrydale combines the timeless charm of a historic nagmal house with the ease of semi off-grid living. Character details such as handcrafted quarry tiles, thatched accents and wood-burning fireplaces preserve a sense of heritage, while modern systems including solar power infrastructure with a DEYE 8 kVA inverter and 10 kW batteries provide reliable semi off-grid capability that reduces dependence on the grid without sacrificing convenience.

The property has been designed with generous proportions and sunlit interiors that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every room enjoys views of the lush, tree-filled garden, with natural light streaming through large windows to connect the home seamlessly to its outdoor setting. At its centre is a spacious L-shaped veranda that has been enclosed and adapted into a flexible living and entertainment area, currently arranged as a home gym, multiple lounges and a large indoor braai room complete with a fireplace, making it ideal for year-round entertaining or quiet relaxation.

Accommodation is both comfortable and practical, with three generously sized bedrooms, two of which feature their own en-suite bathrooms, while the third bedroom is served by a separate guest bathroom and can also be used as a study or creative space. The dining room with its welcoming thatched ceiling flows into a practical kitchen with ample storage, while a separate 5.5 m x 3 m Wendy house in the garden provides additional flexibility as a potential home office, studio or storage space.

Outdoors, the erf of 743 m² has been transformed into a lush, fully irrigated garden oasis, with mature trees, fruit trees and roses creating privacy, shade and seasonal colour. A solar-heated Jacuzzi with the option of wood-fired heating adds a luxurious touch, offering the perfect place to unwind beneath the Karoo sky. Two JoJo tanks and access to leiwater ensure reliable water supply for both household and garden use.

The property is equipped with modern security including CCTV, an alarm system and full boundary fencing, while covered parking and secure off-street access add everyday practicality. With approximately 225 m² under roof, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy semi off-grid sustainability, heritage character and a tranquil garden setting in one of Barrydale’s most desirable locations along the iconic Route 62.
