Plot & plan in Knysna's first semi off-grid estate

The Orchards Estate is situated on the plateau of a picturesque hill just 5 minutes from Knysna central but feels like country living at its best. This stunning property offers breathtaking views of the Knysna River, the Outeniqua Mountains, and the iconic Knysna lagoon. The Orchards comprises only 18 properties and is over 75% sold out.

Priced at just R1 150 000 for the plot and plans, with estimated building costs of R3 800 000, this is your opportunity to own a brand-new home in one of South Africa's most sought-after locations. From as little as R4 950 000, you can secure your own piece of Knysna paradise.

Plans are ready to be submitted to the Knysna Municipality for approval and then you are ready to start building. Final building costs will obviously depend on your choice of finishes. Should you wish to choose another plan already drawn by the developer you are at liberty to do so. You are also free to choose your own builder.

This is the only remaining water view stand which also enjoys a corner position meaning you have only one neighbour and ensures an unimpeded view.
The house itself is designed for comfort and relaxation – think contemporary Karoo cottage boasting a cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout that embraces open-plan living. Every corner of the home offers stunning views, ensuring that nature's beauty is never far from sight. Step outside onto the sweet deck to witness those mesmerizing sunsets, or gather with friends and family on the covered veranda complete with a built-in braai for unforgettable outdoor gatherings.

But that's not all—this eco-friendly home is fully off the grid, thanks to a comprehensive solar system and rainwater tanks. Embrace sustainable living without sacrificing style or comfort. In addition to the eco-friendly rainwater harvesting system, this property also offers the convenience of a connection to municipal water. While the rainwater tanks ensure a sustainable water supply for everyday use, the municipal water connection serves as a reliable backup, providing peace of mind in the rare event that the rainwater tanks are not sufficient.

The Orchards isn't just a place to live—it's a community that embraces a harmonious blend of luxury living and sustainable practices. At the heart of this ethos are the communal vineyard and orchards, where residents can pick fruit and nuts from the trees around the estate. Imagine making your own wine or olive oil!

Join the exclusive community at The Orchards, where only a handful of lucky homeowners will have the privilege of calling this unique estate home. With 7 homes already completed and occupied, and 4 more on the way, you'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who appreciate the finer things in life.
