Riebeek Valley, Riebeek West
For the buyer who values history, authenticity and the beauty of a home with soul, this remarkable Riebeek West cottage is a truly special discovery.
Affectionately known as the “Nagmaalshuisie”, the home is believed to be one of the oldest cottages in the Riebeek Valley. Its heritage character remains beautifully visible through original wooden floors, Oregon pine beams, sash windows, shutters and solid Oregon doors. At the heart of the living room is an original fireplace that is still fully functional and perfect for cozy winter evenings.
The home offers three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and a selection of comfortable living areas, including a lounge, dining space, family room and study. The traditional country kitchen features an original Dover stove, while a separate scullery and laundry provide practical space for everyday living.
Set on a corner erf of 739 square meters, the property enjoys lovely mountain views and an established garden filled with possibility. The welcoming front stoep invites you to slow down, breathe in the country air and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of village life. A private courtyard provides further space for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining.
Additional features include air conditioning, three water tanks, a secure garage, extra parking, a security gate and space for pets.
The cottage is presented in largely original condition and is waiting for a caring new owner to restore and celebrate its remarkable character. It could become an unforgettable family home, a charming country retreat or a distinctive guest house in one of the Western Cape’s most loved rural villages.
Homes with this much history and personality seldom come to market. This is your opportunity to preserve a treasured part of the Riebeek Valley and make its next chapter your own.
