Set within the sought-after Leeuwenbosch Estate in Knysna, this lifestyle smallholding offers the perfect opportunity to embrace country living while remaining just 25 minutes from the bustling heart of Knysna. Covering approximately 4 hectares, the property forms part of a secure estate of only 16 smallholdings, ensuring both privacy and community in a breathtaking natural setting.

Here, life moves at a gentler pace. Surrounded by forest air and the calls of birdlife, you can live off-the-grid with ease. Eskom is available for top up purposes only. The property is well equipped with 16 x 5,000L rainwater tanks and a 10KVA solar system, supported by Eskom as a backup supply. A non-perennial stream meanders through the land, feeding into a serene dam adorned with water lilies, adding to the sense of peace and charm.

The main residence offers three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a generous open-plan loft. This versatile upstairs space could be converted into additional bedrooms with a lounge, or transformed into a creative art studio, hobbies room/teenpad. Wide covered verandahs provide perfect spots to enjoy sunrise coffees or sunset views. Inside, two closed-combustion fireplaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the main bedroom enjoys the comfort of air conditioning, walk-in closet and both bathrooms feature underfloor heating. A four-car carport, storage container/workshop housing the solar system and ample utility space add to the practicality of this home.

The grounds are truly special, with plenty of trees carefully planted, including American and English Oak, Cape Beech, and Forest Alder. A charming concrete strip road winds through the property, crossing a small river by a quaint bridge and leading up to the home, framed by palms that set a tone of elegance.

Additional dwellings include a self-contained cottage with its own kitchen, lounge, bedroom, bathroom, and fireplace—ideal as a rental or guest accommodation. A separate staff cottage, positioned privately away from the main residence, adds further versatility. With ample space available, the land easily accommodates livestock or horses and already features fenced areas for chickens and ducks.

Nestled between forest and lagoon, Knysna is famed for its breathtaking natural beauty, pristine beaches, and the dramatic Knysna Heads. The area offers world-class mountain biking, hiking, boating, and a vibrant waterfront lifestyle—all just a short drive from this serene retreat.

This property is perfect for dual living, guest accommodation, or creating your own income-generating smallholding—an ideal balance of self-sufficiency and convenience in one of South Africa’s most beautiful regions.
