Exclusive Sole Mandate

Welcome to a home of distinction, a master-built residence where unparalleled privacy meets a sophisticated and relaxed island lifestyle. This impressive property has known only the loving care of its original owners, ensuring it is in immaculate condition for its next family.

Nestled on a large, private stand at the end of a quiet canal, this is a sanctuary like no other. With only one direct neighbour and bordered by a tranquil parkland and quiet canal this property offers space and seclusion from neighbours on all sides.

Step into a grand entrance that sets the tone for the quality and style that awaits. The open-plan kitchen and dining area are an entertainer's dream, flowing effortlessly onto the pool deck. A separate pantry adds to the functionality of the kitchen. The adjacent entertainment/braai room, with its elegant plantation shutter doors, can be fully opened to create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, leading directly to the pool, garden and steps leading down to the fascinating inter-tidal zone of the Knysna Estuary. Maybe you will be lucky enough to have a sea-horse living at the bottom of your garden!

A separate, colonial-inspired verandah with a touch of Africa offers a fabulous undercover space with drop-down blinds for rainy days, providing a perfect spot for those Gin and Tonics. The combination of tiled floors and wooden decks throughout creates the ideal backdrop for relaxed island style living.

The expansive lounge is a focal point of the home, featuring a magnificent built-in solid wood pub and wine cellar, centered around a cozy fireplace. It opens onto a deck that overlooks the lawn, which is bordered by tall hedges and established shrubbery, offering ample space for children and pets to play freely.

This home is truly designed for family fun and large holiday gatherings. Just a short stroll from the garden, your own private jetty with its charming gazebo awaits ... the perfect setting for sundowners or hopping on your boat for a leisurely cruise.

The upstairs master suite is a true retreat with a full en-suite bathroom and two Juliet balconies ... one with park views, the other looking over the waterways. A separate wing houses two more generous en-suite bedrooms, each with its own private balcony. Downstairs, a versatile second bedroom, also ideal as a study, is complete with a guest shower and toilet.

A fully equipped, private flatlet provides the ultimate in flexibility. With a separate entrance, open-plan kitchen, lounge, and a full en-suite bathroom, it's perfect for extended family, guests, or as a highly desirable Airbnb rental. The flatlet connects to the fourth bedroom via a decked patio, offering the potential to create a two-bedroom apartment.

The property also boasts two spacious garages, one specifically built to accommodate your boat. A separate laundry room off the garage adds to the practicality of the home. Finally, an inverter provides backup power, ensuring your peaceful island life continues without a hitch, even during loadshedding.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise in one of South Africa's most sought-after locations. A blue-chip investment in safe, secure, and beautiful environment.
