About this property

Situated high above the dramatic cliffs of The Heads in Knysna, this exceptional residence captures the very essence of coastal living, endless sunlight, rolling ocean waves, indigenous greenery and uninterrupted natural beauty in every direction. From the moment you arrive, the home creates a feeling of peace and privacy. Framed by lush landscaped gardens and set against the backdrop of the iconic Knysna Heads, the property enjoys magnificent views of the ocean below, where rock hyrax's (dassie) can often be seen basking on the warm rocks in the sun. One of the most striking features of the property is the tranquil garden space with its elegant human sculpture standing in the sunlight, a scene that perfectly reflects the calm, artistic and almost meditative atmosphere this home offers. Designed to comfortably accommodate two families without compromising privacy, the home presents an outstanding opportunity as either a luxury holiday residence or a highly desirable Airbnb investment in one of Knysna’s most sought-after destinations. The upper-level main residence offers three spacious en-suite bedrooms, all beautifully positioned to enjoy natural light and peaceful green outlooks. The generous open-plan living areas flow effortlessly onto patios and entertainment spaces, while the enclosed pool area creates a sheltered and inviting setting for year-round enjoyment. There is also a guest bathroom on the upper level for added convenience. During the cooler winter evenings, the home transforms into a warm and romantic retreat with two gas fireplaces as well as a charming wood-burning fireplace, the perfect setting to enjoy a glass of wine while listening to soft music as the ocean settles into the evening below. Authentic wooden floors add warmth and timeless Cape-style character throughout the home, complementing the relaxed coastal elegance of the property. Additional features include two gas fireplaces, including one in the flatlet, a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful wooden flooring throughout, an enclosed entertainment patio and sparkling pool, seven solar panels with an inverter system, and two JoJo tanks servicing the sprinkler and irrigation system. The property also offers two guest bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, as well as an outside garden toilet. The furniture is negotiable, making this an appealing option for buyers wanting a ready-to-enjoy holiday home or short-term rental investment. The separate flatlet is exceptionally well configured for extended family, guests or short-term rental income. Offering its own private entrance and garden access, it includes an open-plan kitchen and living area, two spacious en-suite bedrooms with lovely views, as well as a guest toilet. The layout allows complete independence from the main home while still feeling connected to the property as a whole. Situated within walking distance of the famous Coney Glen Beach, owners and guests can enjoy one of Knysna’s most scenic and untouched beaches. Set below the cliffs of The Heads, Coney Glen is known for its dramatic rock formations, tidal pools, soft sand and incredible whale and dolphin sightings during season. It is also a favourite spot for kayaking, swimming and coastal walks, while the nearby East Head Café and viewing points remain iconic attractions for both locals and international visitors. Knysna itself continues to attract both local and international buyers seeking a secure lifestyle, exceptional scenery and strong tourism demand. With the town’s thriving hospitality industry and year-round visitor appeal, properties of this calibre and location offer excellent Airbnb and short-term rental potential, particularly for international travellers searching for luxury coastal accommodation along the Garden Route. This is far more than simply a home — it is a lifestyle property positioned in one of South Africa’s most spectacular coastal settings. **Important VAT Note:** The property is registered in a VAT-registered company and will be sold out of the company.
