Hospitality-ready coastal retreat overlooking the Knysna Lagoon, perfect for entertaining with outdoor braai and large fishpond; seven en-suite bedrooms, multiple decks, solar-powered.
Comprehensively renovated and thoughtfully enhanced, this impressive seven-bedroom residence offers a rare combination of comfort, functionality, and opportunity. Each of the seven bedrooms features its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience for family living or guest accommodation. The home has been carefully upgraded with a range of valuable additions, making it equally suited to a generous private residence or a well-appointed guesthouse venture.
Newly constructed balconies and decks extend the living spaces outdoors, creating multiple vantage points from which to relax and take in the surrounding scenery. Practical sustainability features further elevate the property, including a solar power system and a full water harvesting installation with storage tanks and a pump. These additions provide increased self-sufficiency and peace of mind, particularly appealing for those considering hospitality use.
The outdoor entertainment area serves as a central gathering space, complete with a spacious braai area positioned around a large fishpond. This tranquil setting offers a warm and inviting environment where residents or guests can unwind and connect.
Adding to the home’s versatility, the former double garage has been intelligently transformed into a communal kitchen and lounge area, ideal for shared living or guest interaction. The existing laundry room also presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into a separate flatlet with minimal alterations, enhancing both flexibility and potential rental income.
Enjoying attractive views over the Knysna Lagoon, the property captures a true sense of its coastal setting. This is a distinctive and adaptable home offering a wealth of possibilities for its next owner.
