Your journey begins along a long walkway constructed from wooden decking and defined with a striking natural stone cladded wall stretching out before you, beckoning you to explore further. As you traverse this enchanting passage, a hidden indigenous oasis reveals itself and delivers you to the entrance hall, where a breathtaking ocean view awaits merging the boundaries between the indoors and the vast expanse of the sea beyond.

The house is based on an H-plan and is defined by two distinct modern functional structures consisting of the main house and a utility building, surrounded by two separate inner courtyards that are screened off and treated as outdoor extensions of the interior. The H-plan offers the opportunity for every interior space to benefit from natural light, allowing views from both sides via expansive double-glazed multi panel glass doors and windows creating an inspiring sanctuary that is as visually captivating as it is serene.

The main house contains the family living spaces and bedrooms. It runs in one open sweep encompassing the lounge, dining room, study, kitchen and an enclosed north facing verandah looking onto the pool courtyard. The enclosed verandah washes the home in warmth creating an interior entertainment area that is continuously bathed in light. The utility building is placed closest to the street and incorporates spacious garages, a storeroom and an expansive workshop that offers the flexibility to transform into either a recreational studio or an additional bedroom with a living area.

The four bedrooms en-suite are thoughtfully designed each with diverse features. From the main bedroom's cantilevered elevation offering panoramic views to the second and third bedrooms' private and self-contained setup and finally the secluded outside fourth bedroom with wooden sliding shutters, each room offers its own distinct allure and functionality.

The main bedroom en-suite provides a tranquil and immersive experience. It is located privately on the East side of the house, providing a captivating sensation of being suspended amongst the trees. As you enter the bedroom, you immediately notice the stunning views that surround it on three sides. To one side, large windows overlook the inner pool courtyard where the sounds of birdsong add to the tranquil atmosphere. On another side, you have views of the Sinclair Nature Reserve, and the surrounding greenery. The third side of the bedroom offers scenic vistas of the ocean. With its strategic positioning and remarkable views, this space allows you to feel immersed in nature without leaving the comfort of your bedroom.

If you ever find yourself yearning to venture beyond, the charming town of Knysna awaits a short drive away.

Embracing the best of both realms, this property presents an unparalleled opportunity to revel in the harmonious coexistence of contemporary living and the boundless wonders of the natural environment.
