Modern, Industrial Farmhouse with Ravine views

Entertain effortlessly on a wraparound deck and plunge pool, high above Simola with sweeping Knysna River-to-Heads views; reclaimed beams and oversized island kitchen. Five beds, six baths.

Some homes are built. Others are crafted.

High above the ravines of Simola, with sweeping views tracing the Knysna River toward the distant hint of the Knysna Heads, this owner-built industrial farmhouse carries both strength and soul.

Reclaimed wool warehouse beams anchor the home in history. Exposed off shutter concrete ceilings and clean architectural lines bring a confident, modern edge. Old and new sit comfortably together, warm, grounded and beautifully resolved.

The living spaces flow effortlessly from a contemporary kitchen with an oversized conversational island into dining and lounge areas that open completely on both sides. On summer days, sliders disappear and the home breathes insides and outside becoming one.

A glass-cubed study adds architectural interest. The central deck wraps around a plunge pool and undercover patio with built-in-barbeque, private, elevated and designated for long, relaxed family afternoons.

With air conditioning, underfloor heating and a rainwater harvesting and reverse osmosis water purification system the home is as intelligent as it is beautiful.

This is not a formula estate property. It is a home with a story positioned in one of Knysna’s most elevated settings.
