EXCLUSIVE JOINT MANDATE

URBAN FARM STYLE WITH VINTAGE APPEAL
This is an intriguing property! A rare combination of peace and tranquillity just a stone's throw from the hustle & bustle of the thriving town of Knysna and only a 2-minute walk to Oakhill one of the Garden Route's most sought after private schools.

An urban farmhouse steeped in history, circa 1923, with fabulous water views that has numerous income generating opportunities. The property currently operates as a successful 7 bedroom guesthouse with potential for 9 bedrooms, it also lends itself to multi-generational living with room for the family in the main 4 bedroom house, and separate accommodation for both sets of grandparents, other ideas that come to mind are a care home, Airbnb rentals or just a fabulous family home. A huge plus is that the house has NOT been listed as a historic building therefore you are not limited should you want to make alterations.

The minute you pass through the garden gates with your very own olive grove to one side you are transported back in time and feel as if you have arrived at an old farmhouse. The home is rooted in a much-loved charming English country garden with vine covered pergolas and shady nooks and sunny stoeps.

Legend has it that the front entrance was designed to look like a Post Office as the house was built by one of Knysna’s first Postmasters. Whether that be true or not you certainly are transported back in time as you cross the threshold stepping into a world of solid wooden floors and high ceilings complete with old-fashioned picture rails and book lined passageways.

The main house comprises:

A lounge with the original wood burning fireplace, a dining room that easily accommodates 12 people which leads out onto a breakfast terrace which has superb views over town and the Knysna Lagoon. The cozy pub complete with its own in-door barbeque must be able to tell a story or two of winter days & red wine. A large farm style kitchen where meals are often enjoyed around the old kitchen table. With a makeover the kitchen can be transfored into something really special.

Down the passageway are 2 en-suite bedrooms that open onto a secluded sunny north facing courtyard area. The spacious master bedroom incorporates a reading nook with lovely old wood-burning fireplace, a study area, walk-in closet and full en-suite bathroom plus a private shaded veranda with pretty water views.

Guest accommodation comprises:

The 2 en-suite bedrooms situated in the main house which can be accessed from the outside courtyard, another courtyard en-suite bedroom, 1 separate en-suite bedroom that can easily be converted into a valuable self-catering unit and 3 more en-suite bedrooms each with a small lagoon facing patio giving one 7 guest bedrooms.

There is an additional outside room with toilet and shower which could also be used as a staff room or bedroom plus a laundry and staff toilet. The wooden storage shed situated near the veggie garden is currently used as a toolshed.

The swimming pool is well positioned to take advantage of year-round sun while being sheltered from prevailing winds. 5 of the parking bays are under shade with ample additional parking space available. While being a large property it is an easy to maintain garden.

If you are looking for a rare gem to contemporize while maintaining the vintage appeal this is the property for you.
