“A country home rooted in the landscape”
What happens when a house feels as if it has grown straight out of the Overberg? Welcome to Chalcedony, a guesthouse for sale in McGregor that wears its South African soul on every surface. Thatch, timber beams, flint stonework, rough plastered walls, exposed brick and wrought iron – all echo the textures of the Overberg, grounding the property in heritage while opening it up to the drama of sky and mountain.

Courtyards and views forever
Step into shady little courtyards and you’ll find yourself lingering, sheltered from the elements but wrapped in atmosphere. Look outward and the horizon unfurls into purple-hued mountain ranges.
The garden is a living masterpiece – lush and tumbling, yet guided by formal paths, water features and thoughtful landscaping. Indigenous shrubs riot with life, while an avenue of fever trees adds a playful twist to this Overberg country house for sale.
And when you’re ready to stretch your legs, there’s direct entry into the Krans Nature Reserve next door. Originally part of the meent, or commonage, this land was used by villagers to graze their livestock. There are fantastic views from the top of the koppie.
Flexible, stylish living
The main residence is designed for both beauty and comfort. With three en-suite bedrooms, a generous open-plan living and dining area, and a stoep framing the mesmerising McGregor mountains, it balances showstopping views with intimate corners.
Next door, a second house with two en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan living area and private verandah looking onto the spectacular garden offers total flexibility – perfect for extended family or dual living.
Add the independent one-bedroom cottage with kitchenette and stoep, and this country guesthouse for sale adapts effortlessly to any lifestyle.
Extras that make life effortless
Chalcedony’s extras make it irresistible: a gorgeous lap pool with pool house, a leiwater dam and automated irrigation system for the flourishing garden, laundry, security with exterior beams, and even subdivision potential. Across 4 000m² of landscaped bliss, this country home for sale in the Overberg is a masterpiece of comfort and style.
Personality in every detail
Chalcedony thrives on contrast: formality softened by playfulness, natural textures offset by polished comfort, expansiveness balanced with intimacy. This isn’t just a countryside property – it’s a lifestyle. Rooted, poetic and quietly irresistible, it’s a guesthouse for sale that will make anyone fall in love with McGregor.
Why McGregor?
This charming village deep in the countryside between two mountain ranges is famous for its vernacular architecture and heritage charm, with thatched cottages lining its dirt roads. Pretty succulent gardens brighten the village – all made possible by the engineers of the 1800s, who directed mountain springs along leiwater channels into a shared grid system for irrigation, allowing the semi-desert to be cultivated.
Your private escape
Chalcedony invites you to watch the distant mountain ranges change every shade of blue throughout the day, wander along winding garden paths or relax in the pool while the garden hums around you. Whether you dream of hosting guests, gathering family or retreating to your own sanctuary, this Overberg country house for sale makes it all possible.
Private viewings of Chalcedony Guesthouse are by appointment – but one visit might be all it takes to lose your heart.
