EXCLUSIVE MANDATE
Resting gracefully on its elevated position, this stand serves as a timeless custodian of the cove below, watching over the waves as they meet the shoreline. This exclusive stand, spanning over 1.4 hectares and set on a protected green belt, ensures maximum privacy with the nearest neighbour 150 metres away. Located within the sublime Pezula Private Estate on Knysna’s Eastern Head in the heart of the Garden Route, it offers uninterrupted ocean views with truly remarkable sunsets over white waters capturing that something special that makes your soul sing.
Positioned on the foothills, the stand benefits from natural wind protection and warm microclimates, making it a comfortable setting year-round. Direct access leads to Fisherman’s Cove, your own private beach right in front of the stand. True to its name, this secluded cove is surrounded by an ancient milkwood forest and offers the perfect setting for swimming in the sheltered waters.
Pezula Private Estate spans 612 hectares of indigenous forest and unique fynbos, with nearly four kilometres of dramatic coastline. As one of the lowest-density estates in South Africa, it offers exceptional privacy and exclusivity while preserving its natural surroundings. The estate is bordered by some of the region’s most spectacular beaches, enhancing its unique coastal lifestyle.
To the east lies Noetzie Beach, a secluded treasure ranked among the world’s top 20 beaches. Framed by the Sinclair Nature Reserve and the Noetzie River lagoon, this pristine conservancy is known for its golden sands, historic castles and untouched natural beauty.
In front of the estate, Fisherman’s Cove offers a private beach retreat, directly accessible via an exclusive residents-only trail within Pezula Private Estate. This hidden cove, with its unspoiled shoreline and crystal-clear waters, is perfect for quiet escapes, coastal walks or simply enjoying the rhythmic lull of the waves.
