A Rare Opportunity on the Water’s Edge

Set on the tranquil edge of the Knysna’s famous lagoon and estuarine, The St. James of Knysna is a landmark estate offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional stately waterfront property. With direct access to the lagoon and framed by 1,594 hectares of manicured grounds, this iconic five-star country estate offers something rare; minutes from the heart of Knysna.

Proudly approached through a stately entrance, this property fans out amidst the beautiful gardens; rolling lawns; fun outdoor amenities and the stately buildings. A wide waters edge and private jetty edge the southern boundary.

Inside unfolds with generous proportions, high ceilings, hardwood finishes and large windows which seamlessly connect to the outdoors. The suites and living areas have been designed to accommodate elegant entertaining as well as personal intimate spaces alongside the calming lagoon waters.

We proudly offer a rare opportunity to acquire a place of this calibre—right on the water’s edge, with heritage, privacy, and scale. The St. James of Knysna stands not only as a landmark location, but also as a canvas for its next chapter. Discerning buyers seeking a lifestyle defined by space, beauty, and distinction are invited to arrange a private viewing they will delight in.

If you are considering a luxury secluded property for the extended family and friends; or owning this iconic hotel; or wanting to redevelop with new ideas (retirement estate; medical facility or other exciting options); then this extra-ordinary boutique property is an exciting opportunity to consider.
