Create a nature-focused lifestyle estate on Knysna’s newly expanded urban edge, minutes from Simola Country Club and town, with panoramic views across the Knysna lagoon and Heads.
JOINT MANDATE
Set within the newly transitionary defined urban edge of Knysna, this remarkable ±30-hectare property offers a rare opportunity to secure a large, elevated landholding with exceptional views and long-term potential — all within close reach of town.
The setting is both peaceful and expansive, with far-reaching outlooks in every direction. From certain vantage points, the views extend across the Knysna lagoon and toward the Heads, while the opposite side of the property opens up to uninterrupted mountain ranges and dense green forests, creating a sense of complete escape.
Although it feels private and removed, the property is conveniently located just a short drive from Knysna’s amenities, and approximately 1.7km from Simola Hotel Country Club & Spa — placing golf, dining, and leisure facilities within easy reach.
A quiet gravel servitude road runs through the land, naturally separating it into a large primary portion of roughly 28.85 hectares, along with two smaller sections positioned across the road. This configuration offers flexibility, whether for creating a main residence with additional dwellings set apart, or for exploring a more phased development approach.
The land itself has a natural, untamed character, with a mix of trees and vegetation that enhances both privacy and the overall sense of space. A functional MTO Biking track allows movement across the property, and sections link into established mountain biking routes in the area — a subtle but valuable lifestyle feature for those drawn to outdoor living.
The topography is varied, with slopes, ridgelines, and elevated points that lend themselves to carefully positioned structures, each benefiting from its own outlook and degree of seclusion. This makes the property particularly well suited to a bespoke lifestyle estate or a low-density, nature-focused development.
Currently zoned Agricultural Zone 1, the property allows for a primary residence and additional dwellings, with further opportunities available through consent uses. Combined with its inclusion in Knysna’s recent urban edge expansion, this creates a compelling blend of immediate usability and future potential.
With no existing buildings, the property offers complete freedom to design and develop according to your vision.
Opportunities of this scale, location, and versatility are increasingly scarce along the Garden Route, making this a standout option for buyers seeking something truly unique.
