Description

Situated on the scenic hills of Paradise, overlooking the breathtaking Knysna Lagoon, this exceptional property offers outstanding potential as either a thriving hospitality business or a spacious family home. With two well-equipped kitchens—one in the main home and another in the guesthouse—this versatile property combines functionality with comfort, making it ideal for both personal use and income generation. A key advantage of this property is its untapped income potential. The current turnover is based on only 6 months of operation per year, as the owners choose to close for extended periods due to personal travel and lifestyle preferences. Even during the active season, select dates are blocked to allow for breaks. This creates a clear opportunity for a new owner to significantly increase revenue by operating year-round or expanding occupancy. Family Home Potential With 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, this expansive home is well suited to large families or multi-generational living. The main house offers 1 luxurious suite and 3 additional bedrooms, all positioned around the sparkling pool and landscaped garden. Elevated above the main residence, 4 further suites with private verandas enjoy panoramic lagoon views—ideal for extended family or private retreats. A separate 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence serves as an excellent owner’s home or additional accommodation, complete with its own fully equipped kitchen. Guesthouse Business Opportunity Currently operating as a 4-star guesthouse, the property is a well-established, ready-to-run hospitality business. The guesthouse comprises 8 rooms, although only 7 rooms are currently rented out, again highlighting additional income potential. Each room is thoughtfully designed and equipped with modern conveniences including TV/DSTV, Wi-Fi, and backup power. In addition, the private residence includes 3 en-suite bedrooms which could easily be incorporated into the guest offering, further increasing capacity and revenue. A fully equipped guest kitchen supports smooth operations, while 8 secure parking bays comfortably accommodate guests. Features and Amenities * Swimming pool and landscaped gardens * Double-volume living areas with natural light and lagoon views * Two fully equipped kitchens * Backup power system * Excellent security * Flexible layout for private living and hospitality use Whether you choose to continue its legacy as a guesthouse or transform it into a substantial private residence, this property offers flexibility, scale, and clear upside potential. With its established presence in Knysna’s hospitality market and the ability to significantly increase turnover, this is an opportunity that combines lifestyle and investment in one.
