Modern, light-filled home in the heart of Rosendal, Eastern Free State
Lovingly converted from a half-built structure, this breathtaking three-bedroom home in Rosendal has been finished with exceptional care and attention to detail. The result is a beautifully balanced blend of charm and modern comfort.
Step inside and be greeted by an impressive double-volume open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. The modern kitchen makes entertaining effortless, while the open layout allows you to stay connected with guests. The spacious living area easily accommodates plush furniture, and a wood-burning stove ensures warmth and ambience during Rosendal’s crisp winter evenings.
Two generously sized bedrooms on the ground floor comfortably fit double or king-sized beds. Each features large windows—one overlooking the tranquil backyard and the other the picturesque village street.
A stylish bathroom on this level doubles as a guest toilet. The bathroom offers a walk-in shower, open shelving, and a timeless touch of old-world charm.
Natural light floods the home through numerous windows and glass doors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. By night, enjoy starry skies and colourful sunsets from the comfort of your loft or stoep.
Upstairs, the loft area serves beautifully as a main bedroom, home office, or art studio. Three skylights fill the space with soft, natural light while keeping it cool and airy in summer. The en-suite bathroom boasts a freestanding clawfoot cast-iron bath—perfect for a relaxing soak by candlelight. Double glass doors open inward to a charming Juliet-style balcony, allowing you to enjoy sweeping views of the village and surrounding hills.
Outdoor living is just as inviting. The 22m x 3m covered stoep, complete with a built-in braai, is an entertainer’s dream—spacious enough for both a dining table and comfortable seating. It’s the perfect spot to watch the majestic Free State clouds drift by as you unwind.
The low-maintenance garden wraps gracefully around the home and features three large trees, one with a circular patio beneath it—an ideal picnic or play spot. Additional features include ample built-in storage, under-stair cupboards, a garden shed (3.9 m²), a JoJo tank with pressure pump, and two gas cages for the geyser and stove. The handcrafted wood panelling throughout the home adds a bespoke, artisanal touch that makes this property truly unique.
Rosendal—often called the hidden gem of the Eastern Free State—is a beloved retreat for those seeking peace, creativity, and connection with nature. Just four hours from Gauteng and two from Bloemfontein, it’s the perfect spot to recharge and escape city life.
Whether you’re looking for a family retreat, a romantic weekend getaway, or a guest rental investment, this home captures the essence of Free State village living—modern, elegant, and full of heart.
