The world-famous Garden Route stretches along the southern coast of South Africa from Mosselbay to almost Port Elizabeth, and has always been a very popular tourist destination. However, in recent years a different kind of visitor has started frequenting the region as the golf offering of the Garden Route has improved to provide world-experiences and destinations. If you’re in the market to buy a property in George, and you love golf, you definitely have options!

This is mostly thanks to the stretch between George and Knysna being full of signature designed courses by golfing greats that include Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Ernie Els. Add a luxury home right on the course into the mix and the appeal for golf enthusiasts is easy to see.

Angela Clack, the Chas Everitt International resident agent at Pezula added, “Security provisions here include guarded access control points with biometric scanners, and facilities include an upmarket clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, walking trails and direct access to a private beach.

“Residents also have access to the five-star Conrad Pezula Resort & Spa adjacent to the estate, which is home to Zachary's gourmet restaurant, a champagne and whisky bar, cigar lounge, a boutique and a multi-award-winning spa and gym, as well as several executive boardrooms.”

“For family buyers, there are also excellent public and private schools in Knysna, and for business travellers, there are reliable shuttle services to the international airport in George, just 70km away.

“However, even with all this going for it, the estate offers exceptional real estate value, starting with stands of around 1000m2 for just R500 000 or R600 000. Currently there are also several upmarket golf villas for sale in the R3,5m to R4,5m range, so the entry level is considerably lower than for most other luxury lifestyle and golf estates.”
