Set high on the ridge, this elegant Mediterranean villa provides spacious elegance with a spectacular view.

Featuring five spacious bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, and multiple reception rooms, the home has been purposely designed to carve out personal spaces for a large family whilst feeling open, airy and connected.

The upper level on the Western side is devoted to informal entertainment and offers an expansive space which includes a family room, games room, with a snooker table, a built-in braai and dining area, as well as a beautiful built-in bar area and guest loo.

The multiple doors opening onto the upper patio provide the best place to take in the views that made Knysna town famous.

The main floor provides a formal lounge, which is partially open to the games room above, and a cozy formal dining area, both featuring a fireplace.

A spacious kitchen and breakfast room, also featuring a fireplace, open onto a sunny north-facing covered patio.

There is a study nook off the breakfast room as well as a separate scullery for all required appliances.

On the lower level, there are three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with one being en suite.

A pajama lounge or additional study is also offered on this level.

Above is the oversized master suite consisting of a substantial dressing room, bathroom with a walk-in shower, coffee-making room, study, and main bedroom, which has a wood-burning fireplace.

The sunny north-facing garden boasts a lovely pool area as well as an ample grassed area for dogs and children to enjoy, and provides a tranquil sun-soaked retreat.

The home has the ability to fully enjoy off-grid water with power supplied from multiple solar panels sufficient to run the entire house, bar the geysers.

Triple motorized garage doors, workshop space, a separate entrance room currently used as a hair studio, and staff quarters complete this very special property that is well worth viewing.
