KNYSNA NEWS - Do you remember when only birds twittered, goats browsed, blackberries were fruit, crocs were reptilian and green was just a colour? If you've been around for half a century or more you will have noticed our lives have changed a great deal. Nowadays we watch world events live in our living rooms, we won't go anywhere without a phone in our pocket, we socialise and pay bills over the internet and information is a mere google away. We also never ever get lost. And we are living longer, healthier lives. It's difficult to even imagine the future.

You've worked hard for several decades, weathered political upheavals and global recessions, all to achieve success and prosperity. You've raised a family and your children are now finding their own way in the world. So what's next on your agenda?
If you are considering relocating to the coast, or even if you already live in the vicinity, Knysna Lifestyle Estate may be the best answer. It's an up-market residential development geared towards those of us on the other side of the retirement fence who want to live life to its fullest.

Set on undulating slopes in scenic surroundings, Knysna Lifestyle Estate boasts exceptionally low density with only five houses per hectare. This means plenty of space and privacy... but certainly not isolation. At the heart of the 52-hectare estate lies the Clubhouse incorporating a pub, restaurant, billiards and cards rooms, library, gym and sauna. Here, residents can relax and socialise - meet friends and make new ones. For those who enjoy outdoor physical activity, there's a wonderful walking or jogging trail, plus tennis courts, bowling green and heated swimming pool adjacent to the Clubhouse.

The homes are elegant and luxurious. There are nine design options offering two or three bedrooms, spacious under-cover patios and double garages. All have spacious living areas - there will be no need to sell off treasured furniture... unless of course you want to get rid of your mother's gold brocaded Victorian chaise longue! Large windows and glass doors add to the sense of space and take full advantage of natural light and the splendid views. Attention to detail is evident throughout and the finishes are immaculate. Kitchens come fully fitted with top range appliances - so, yes, the old stove must go! Garages are larger than average to make parking easy, along with plenty of work space. All residences are free standing and the neighbours not too close. Your garden is fully maintained by the estate staff, so you have the freedom to 'lock up and go' whenever you want to.

Within the grounds are large open areas with small picturesque dams and meandering trails through fynbos. Peace and tranquillity pervade the landscape. Nature-loving residents can roam freely and safely. The estate is totally secure with 24-hour manned access plus regular security patrols.

It feels like you're in the heart of the countryside but, in fact, Knysna Lifestyle Estate is only a five-minute drive from the centre of town. This makes life so easy! You can be in and out with your shopping or browse for hours... Knysna has just about everything you need, want, or desire - it's a small town with high end tastes.
