Where award-winning marina living meets impeccable South African style. Welcome to your new sanctuary on the water.
Imagine waking to a view of the water with your own private jetty and the sun glinting off the wide canal just beyond your garden. This is not just a house; it is a lifestyle statement. Recently reimagined with top-class finishes and a designer’s eye for effortless flow, this magnificent family home on the prestigious Thesen Islands is a rare jewel that blends indoor elegance with the magic of coastal living.
The Heart of the Home:
Step inside and be welcomed by a sense of airy sophistication. The master suite is a retreat on the ground floor and a sanctuary of calm. It features a huge walk-through dressing room that leads to the bathroom.
The main living area features an open-plan kitchen, dining room, and large lounge designed for comfort and easy living. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting a sleek Smeg oven and gas hob, modern appliances, and a separate scullery and laundry that keep life’s mess elegantly hidden.
But the true star is the large lounge, with wood-burning fireplace - perfect for cosying up on those chilly Knysna evenings. When the sun is out, simply slide away the glass stacking doors to dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening onto a large wrap-around deck that leads to the jetty and wide water canal.
For a change of scenery, there is a second casual lounge, complete with a built-in coffee station. Opening from this room is a magical, north-facing courtyard bathed in sun, with a soothing water feature. It’s the perfect spot for your morning coffee or an intimate evening glass of wine.
The upper level is designed for family and guests. A second main en-suite bedroom opens to a balcony with breathtaking views over the water - a perfect sunrise spot. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own balcony, share a beautifully appointed bathroom. A large, versatile study (perfect as a pyjama lounge or kids' media room) completes the upper level, giving everyone their own space.
The Exterior & The Extras:
This property is a complete package. With 2 garages, 2 carports, and water access directly from your own private jetty, life here is set up for adventure. But the real peace of mind comes from the home’s modern infrastructure: water tanks, an inverter and solar panels ensure you’re powered and prepared, no matter what.
You are not just buying a home; you are buying into an award-winning lifestyle. Thesen Islands is an exclusive, secure marina village offering a world of walkable amenities, from delis and excellent restaurants, exclusive boutique clothing shops to pristine waterways.
