Classic Karoo Oasis in the Heart of Graaff-Reinet

In the Jacaranda season, the purple tree-lined streets of Cypress Grove lead you to this graceful 1930s home — a true oasis in the heart of the Karoo. Beautifully preserved, it blends classic charm with timeless comfort, featuring original architectural details and solid yellow wood floors throughout. Spacious hallways flow around a central lounge with a striking library wall, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining. Inter leading doors open into a grand dining room perfect for family gatherings and long Karoo dinners. There’s also a cosy study or TV room, and a large, light-filled kitchen with a central island that forms the warm heart of the home. Off the hallways are four generous bedrooms. The main suite is offering a luxurious en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower. A second large bedroom is also en-suite, while the remaining two share a well-appointed bathroom and separate guest toilet. Outside, the mature garden is lush and tranquil, with established trees, a productive vegetable patch, and a sparkling swimming pool — perfect for cooling off on sunny Karoo afternoons. The Lapa area invites relaxed braais and outdoor living, surrounded by the peace and privacy of a walled property that is completely secure and dog-friendly. Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the home, with solar power, a rainwater collection system, and a newly refurbished dam for the borehole — ensuring comfort and self-sufficiency year-round. A charming garden cottage, complete with its own bedroom, kitchen, lounge, and bathroom, provides versatile accommodation for extended family, guests, or as an ideal income-generating opportunity. Nestled in one of Graaff-Reinet’s most desirable, tree-lined streets, this home offers beauty, space, and security — a rare find combining heritage and modern living in perfect harmony.
