EXCLUSIVE MANDATE
This home on a spectacular plot of land with sweeping views of the ocean and indigenous natural forest all within one frame will take your breath away.
Situated within one of the most environmentally aware and best luxury developments in the world you will be intrigued as soon as you arrive at the gates of Pezula Private Estate. Once you pass through the 24-hour manned security gates you are transported to a magical world where nature, views, peace and tranquility reign supreme.
This unique contemporary build is discreetly tucked into the side of a cliff positioned above a gorge opening out to the magnificent surrounding. On arriving at this home your eye is immediately drawn to the roof that is designed to resemble the unfurling sails of a dhow as it catches the wind enticing you to step inside to see what is hidden beyond. As you step over the threshold you are taken on a journey of outstanding architecture, sublime interiors and unfolding aerial views of the ocean.
Set on three levels of expansive living, entertaining and dining spaces integrated within the natural contour of the land and framed by a stone wall axis built from material excavated on site during construction. This warm and welcoming home is positioned to provide respite from the elements in any season or weather while being surrounded by sea, sky and tranquil pools of water, it literally feels like you have set sail into the ocean.
Immerse yourself in this unique seaside retreat with all the activities you love the most whether it is swimming laps in the heated indoor pool, lounging on the outdoor jacuzzi deck listening to the ocean or catching a glimpse of Southern Right Whales as they migrate along the coastal waters. Perhaps spend reflective time on one of many fabulous look-out decks, listening to the symphony of bird calls while keeping a lookout for the elusive Knysna Lourie with its brilliant red wings that is a resident in the indigenous evergreen forest on your doorstep.
As the sun sets, fire up the flames of the braai or bake pizzas in the pizza oven while enjoying the firepit where classic safari chairs are a perfect spot for stargazing in this low light pollution estate. Catering in the open plan generous kitchen with all the modern conveniences a chef could dream of, is a cinch. Round off the evening entertainment relaxing in the cozy wine room with the optimal climate for storing those precious bottles.
When it is time to unwind and retreat from the rest of the house there are 5 spacious and stylish ensuite bedrooms each with a window seat alcove with encompassing views of the ocean and forest. The master suite is secluded in its own private wing and is a story unto itself, with a private study, lounge, steam room and plunge pool all encapsulated by a sculpture garden suspended on a reflection pond in the north and panoramic ocean views to the south. The ocean takes center stage in the master bedroom, imagine waking up to the light streaming in through the floor to ceiling windows while watching the sparkling turquoise sea and listening to the sound of crashing waves.
Should you wish to venture outside your personal oasis, the picture-perfect town of Knysna, the forests, the lagoon, the famous oysters and beaches are ten minutes away.
This exquisite home is a world unto itself and provides you with everything and more than you can imagine. This is a home with endless space and many options while giving you comfort in the knowledge that it is eco-friendly, partially off the grid and fully automated.
