Situated on 52 hectares of prime land overlooking the Knysna lagoon and surrounding hills, The Knysna Lifestyle Estate’s location offers the discerning, active adult market the space to breathe, leisure and tranquility of country life within easy reach of the myriad of amenities available in Knysna and nearby towns. Knysna and surrounds are renowned for its natural splendour, fine dining, world-class golf courses and sophisticated shops.
Moving from a larger home and property can be daunting when introduced to developments offering similar medical and other facilities, only to discover how tightly properties seem to be squeezed together. To ensure spacious privacy and carefree outdoor leisure in the Garden Route’s temperate climate, less than five comfortable, contemporary styled homes per hectare will grace the estate offering space to breathe, with significantly less density than the 15 houses per hectare seen on estates in a similar price range. Privacy and peace of mind are further enhanced by 24-hour access control and internal security patrol, enabling residents to enjoy the safety of a secure environment in a safe and free community, which they once enjoyed.
Vital infrastructure such as roads and the secure entrance have already been completed, and professional landscapers have spent time and effort to ensure that residents will be able to enjoy beautiful, established designer gardens that complement the natural setting of the estate. No expense has been spared by the developers on landscaping to both the estate and individual homes, as this is normally the place where expectations are not met. Yet, Knysna Lifestyle Estate offers ample space for residents to potter in their own gardens. All homes are fitted with solar heating to assist in reducing the ever-rising cost of electricity.
The Knynsa Lifestyle Estate will also boast a luxurious clubhouse, restaurant and bar, library and card rooms. To accommodate a healthy retirement, sport and leisure amenities include a gymnasium, heated pool, sauna, bowling green, tennis court and a billiard room. While the estate supports a quality, active lifestyle, it will also provide a well-equipped 20-bed healthcare facility on the premises.
Residents may choose between two- or three-bedroomed luxury homes of 190m² to 329m² on plots varying in sizes of 500m² to 1200m², from R2 495 000 (inclusive of vat and with a substantial saving of not having to pay transfer duty). Knysna Lifestyle Estate is a single residential development and not a sectional title development, which offers residents the peace of mind that they will not have unexpected expenses due to rising levies. Gardening services and home maintenance are included in a monthly home owner’s contribution, which will be kept to a minimum with the help of a home owners’ cost stabilisation fund to be maintained by an allocation of 25% of any capital appreciation on the resale of a home.
Says Ian Raubenheimer, managing director of the development company: "We have already received significant interest from local, national as well as international buyers, as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain access to what will undoubtedly become one of South Africa’s most sought-after 5-star lifestyle estates."
