House for sale in Bathurst

This grand old four-bedroom stone home stands as a beautiful marriage between heritage and thoughtful modern living. Renovated and currently operating as a guesthouse, the home retains all the romance and solidity of a bygone era while offering the comfort and convenience expected today. Thick stone walls wrap the house in a sense of permanence and quiet, while original wooden floors, high ceilings, and three fireplaces create warmth, texture, and an unmistakable old-world charm.

One enters the home via a large covered verandah fitted with a built in braai. There are views across the lovely garden towards the coast. The bedrooms are generously proportioned, each filled with light and air, and complemented by beautifully renovated bathrooms that balance classic elegance with contemporary finishes. Throughout the home, careful attention has been paid to detail — from the refined fittings to the preservation of original features that give the house its soul.

The modern kitchen, fitted with granite countertops, ample cupboard space as well as a reverse osmosis water filter system is spacious and well designed. The pantry is a particular delight, still showcasing its original wooden cupboards - a quiet nod to the home's history. Additional luxuries include a private sauna, a laundry, and a cellar, further enhancing the sense that this is a home designed for both comfort and indulgence.

Outside, the property unfolds into a secure and productive haven. Electric fencing, sensor lights, water tanks, and a reliable solar system with an 8.8 kVA inverter and 12 panels ensure peace of mind and sustainable living. A duck pond and chicken enclosure add rural charm, while established fruit trees dot the garden, offering seasonal abundance. For those with agricultural or entrepreneurial ambitions, a large tunnel equipped with both water and electricity opens up endless possibilities.

Vehicle accommodation is plentiful, with three garages and two carports, catering comfortably to guests or extended family. Completing the offering is a spacious, self-contained one-bedroom cottage, ideal for additional income, extended family, or private accommodation. The cottage features its own combustion fireplace.

This is more than just a property — it is a gracious country retreat.
