This cherished home, brimming with character and lived-in warmth, stands proud as one of the few remaining true Klein-Karoo heritage residences — lovingly preserved, not drabbed up nor diluted, but rich in charm, colour, and honest craftsmanship.
The layout embraces the Montagu way — effortless, easy, serene. From the welcoming veranda to the double-doors that invite you into the home with its warm floorboards and original double volume ceilings. There are two generously sized bedrooms complete with their sash-windows. The lounge, separate kitchen and small dining nook cum study, are all located at the far-end of the cottage and offers superb private views of the Montagu Mountains. The third bedroom offers its own private entrance, perfect for visiting family or potential Airbnb guests looking to soak in the town’s legendary healing air, a gift from the warm springs and rugged beauty that have drawn seekers here since the 1800s, or would be perfect for a home-office.
One updated bathroom serves it occupants and in the ripe old tradition, the kitchen-stoep has been enclosed to pull its weight as a laundry with back door that opens onto the private back-garden. A single storeroom, complete with feeding troth as this was the stable, is located on the right-hand corner of the property, but don't despair, the double carport offers ample under-cover parking. This property is secured with an alarm.
Montagu isn’t just a postcode — it’s a feeling. It's a life lived slower, a breath drawn deeper. Fewer and fewer homes like this remain, and each one that finds a new custodian becomes a stitch in the story of this historic town.
This isn’t just a home. It’s a chance to live in the embrace of the Small Karoo — timeless, generous, and utterly authentic.
Come see for yourself what the mountain has always known.
