Property Details
This neat home full of historic charm is superbly situated with spectacular views over the Knysna Lagoon and through the famed Knysna Heads. The property consists of a 3-bed homestead, 3-bed annex, 2 cottages (with space for kitchenette), and an outside room, all with en-suite bathrooms, and is conveniently located within walking distance of the town centre, waterfront, and good primary and secondary schools.
The homestead can be configured in multiple ways to suit a family, such as:
A 3-bed homestead plus 5 income-producing rooms, or
A home with 2 separate cottages (with space for kitchenette) for extended family and 3 income-producing rooms
This property is presently run as a delightful, well-maintained historical guesthouse (no heritage restrictions). Furnishings are available separately for sale. Because of the layout of the property, it is easily adapted to a family home.
Set in peaceful, lush, and fully grown gardens, you would certainly not think that the centre of town is only a stone's throw away, and the well-sized sparkling pool, tucked away, provides privacy you would appreciate. There is ample parking and a spacious driveway for turning around on level ground inside the gated property.
The historic homestead has a traditional entrance hall that leads to a pub for entertaining friends and family, adjacent to the dining room that opens to a lounge with fireplace and games room alcove, all flowing out through a covered patio to the expansive deck with space for coffee tables and loungers. The farm-style kitchen with scullery is situated directly across from the dining and living area, and down the passage are bedrooms, which open to the sheltered courtyard on the other side of the home.
Oregon pine floors give a rich, homely feeling to the cosy lounge, whose fireplace warms up the living area with a games room alcove on winter evenings. The spacious dining room can seat 12. The pub with built-in braai also opens to an expansive outside deck from which you can enjoy views overlooking the lagoon from breakfast to evening drinks.
The farm-style kitchen has tile flooring for easy cleaning, a centre table, eye-level double oven, a gas hob, and space for all appliances a kitchen needs, with the scullery tucked away and the laundry room outside.
The master bedroom, also with Oregon pine flooring, has a fireplace, a full en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet with safe, a study alcove for admin, and its own private deck overlooking the lagoon. The other 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms open to the delightful, sheltered courtyard.
The two spacious cottages have separate entrances, one leading off the courtyard and the other with its own grapevine-covered verandah. Each of the bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms in the outside annex opens onto their own private verandah with views over the lagoon and Heads, giving complete privacy to guests. The parking accommodates 6 cars inside the property under shade cloth, and the olive orchard outside the entrance completes the perfect picture.
