Escape to expansive country living just 10 minutes from Knysna, with 177 hectares of private pastures, 400m of Knysna River frontage and elevated panoramic views — ideal for an equestrian estate.
Set just 10 minutes from the centre of Knysna along a tarred road, this exceptional 177-hectare property offers scale, privacy and breathtaking natural surroundings in one of the Garden Route’s most sought-after areas.
From its elevated sections, the land enjoys sweeping views toward the Knysna Heads, the upper reaches of the Knysna River and the Outeniqua Mountains. The property also includes approximately 400 metres of frontage along the Knysna River, adding both scenic appeal and valuable natural character.
The terrain varies from higher vantage points to expansive, gently sloping and level areas closer to the river. The lower portion comprises roughly 30 hectares of usable flat land, offering flexibility for a range of rural lifestyle uses.
Historically earmarked for a larger mixed-use development, the property underwent a full Environmental Impact Assessment at the time. Although the original rezoning rights have lapsed, the groundwork previously completed reinforces the site’s potential for future rezoning, subject to the requisite approvals.
Given its size, open pastures and tranquil environment, the land would lend itself particularly well to an equestrian-focused venture, whether a private equestrian estate, boutique stud farm, training facility, or a lifestyle property incorporating stabling and riding trails. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, contiguous landholding with river frontage, panoramic views and close proximity to Knysna, offering space, privacy and long-term versatility.
