Phantom River View Estate Knysna - A Hidden Gem: Countryside Calm, Townside Ease

Seeff Knysna presents this JOINT MANDATE:

Phantom River View Estate is a beautifully maintained and well-managed residential estate nestled in the serene forested hills above Knysna, along the picturesque Phantom Pass.

Known for its tranquil ambiance and natural surroundings, the estate offers residents a harmonious blend of forest living with sweeping views of the Knysna River, estuary, and Outeniqua mountains. Spanning 29 hectares, the estate is home to only 30 carefully positioned properties, each designed to blend seamlessly with the indigenous landscape.

The estate is exceptionally well run, with tarred roads throughout, ensuring easy access and a sense of order and upkeep that enhances both property values and quality of life. Phantom River View also prioritizes sustainability, with features such as a communal borehole and vegetable garden, and is pet-friendly. Despite its peaceful, semi-rural setting, it’s conveniently located just 10–15 minutes from Knysna’s town center, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy secluded forest living without sacrificing urban convenience.

Nestled in the serene setting of Phantom River View Estate, this immaculately maintained double-story timber home offers a rare combination of peace, privacy, and breathtaking views. Overlooking the rolling forest and estuary, the home enjoys expansive panoramic vistas that shift beautifully with the seasons.

Thoughtfully designed to embrace natural light, the north-facing layout ensures warmth and comfort throughout the year. The living spaces open onto an established, landscaped garden filled with mature cycads, a sparkling swimming pool, and a welcoming boma – ideal for relaxed outdoor entertaining.

Set on a 400m² erf, this home also enjoys the exclusive use of an additional 2,000m²+ of surrounding natural land, offering unmatched space, privacy, and a deep connection to the surrounding environment.

Inside, the home features three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by warm timber finishes and a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to slow down and breathe. An added bonus is that the home is offered furnished - just move in. (Artwork and personal items will be removed).

A separate one-bedroom cottage, currently operating as a successful Airbnb unit, offers the perfect opportunity for additional income or guest accommodation.

Sustainably equipped with solar power, gas fittings, and a water tank, the property is well-prepared for off-grid convenience. The former garage has been converted into a practical storeroom and laundry, while a paved driveway and covered carport provide easy access and secure parking.

Whether you're looking for a permanent lifestyle home or a peaceful weekend retreat, this beautifully maintained property is a haven of calm in one of Knysna’s most picturesque eco-estates.
