Mossel Bay Ext 26, Mossel Bay

Some homes simply give you more to work with. See this Exclusive Sole Mandate brought to market by Harcourts Mossel Bay.

Set in the established neighbourhood of Mossel Bay Ext. 26, this spacious split-level family home offers an appealing combination of generous accommodation, unusual privacy and lovely views towards the ocean.

The home is built around a natural elevated outlook, with the living spaces looking across the greenbelt and ravine below. From the main living area, the view opens out towards the ocean, while the greenery immediately beyond the home creates a surprisingly peaceful sense of space.

But the real surprise is upstairs.

Positioned privately above the double garage, the exceptionally spacious main bedroom suite feels almost like its own retreat. It opens onto a sunny north-facing balcony with ocean views, while the full en-suite bathroom is cleverly concealed behind the extensive built-in cupboards. It's an unusual design feature — and one that gives the main suite a genuine sense of privacy and separation from the rest of the home.

The main living area is warm and inviting, with a fireplace creating a natural focal point and the elevated outlook providing plenty of natural interest beyond the windows.

The kitchen is generously proportioned, with ample workspace and direct access to the backyard. Alongside the main living areas, the home offers two further bedrooms, one with its own en-suite facilities discreetly incorporated into the built-in cabinetry, as well as a separate family bathroom.

There's also considerably more flexibility than the bedroom count suggests. A dedicated office, workroom and additional TV/family room provide space for working from home, hobbies, teenagers, guests or simply giving everyone a little room of their own.

The double automated garage adds another practical advantage. One garage has a rear roller door opening directly to the backyard, making it particularly useful for a trailer, additional vehicle, boat, bikes or other recreational equipment.

Outside, the property is fully enclosed with a manageable garden and established flower beds, offering privacy without creating a maintenance burden.

This is not a show-home trying to impress for five minutes.

It is a solid, generously proportioned home with character, practical features and room to adapt as your needs change — and the combination of the elevated setting, green outlook and ocean views gives it something that is increasingly difficult to create.

If space, privacy and genuine long-term livability matter more to you than simply buying the newest house on the market, this one is worth seeing.
