Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa

This four-bedroom, double-storey home with four bathrooms and an extra-large double garage is on a large stand and situated right at the top of Knysna Heights.

Income Generating: This property is currently divided into two parts: the ground floor, which is tenanted at R12k a month, and the first floor, the owner's portion. This division is achieved with a dry wall in the entrance hall separating the parts, which is easily removed to make it one home.

Ground Floor: Entering through the front door or via the automated garage into a foyer, an interleading door opens to the ground floor portion of the house, which consists of two bedrooms. The main en suite on the north side leads onto a wooden deck through a sliding door, with views to the west over the lagoon and towards Belvidere. The deck has stairs leading down to the garden, which is fully walled and fenced. The second bedroom is on the south side and also has a sliding door, which allows access to the unit through the pathway leading from the parking area. The living area comprises a large open-plan lounge, kitchen, dining room, and study, which also leads onto the partially covered patio through a sliding door. Heading upstairs, you will find a laundry just off the foyer, and a small enclosed area of the deck has planter boxes that are irrigated by the rainwater harvesting tank and irrigation system, which runs on a timer.

First Floor: Expansive views greet you on this level, to the south over the famous Knysna Lagoon, towards the Heads, and out to sea on the south side. On the northern side, there are vistas of valleys, hills, and mountains as the backdrop. This masterfully built and cleverly laid-out home is divided into two levels currently. The first floor consists of a large open-plan lounge, dining room, and kitchen, which lead out onto the northern patio and feature a Jacuzzi. The master bedroom is spacious with an en suite bathroom, including a large bath and a bidet. This bedroom is situated on the southern side to take advantage of the views over the estuary and has an air conditioner. The second bedroom is in the north wing and shares a bathroom with a shower. The house is interconnected by a staircase in the foyer.

Under the Deck and Off the Grid: This vacant space is great for storage and is currently home to the 5.5 KVA generator, which powers the entire house by means of a cable and switch on the DB board. The generator is not included in the sale. A rainwater harvesting tank is connected to a water pump, which is currently irrigating the planter boxes above the deck on a timer.
Room to Expand: The bulk availability has not been exceeded, and a further +/- 100m² can be added in the form of a cottage or flatlet.
