Property description

Positioned high on the ridge in sought-after Brenton On Lake, this modern home offers sweeping, uninterrupted views over the Knysna Lagoon, town, and surrounding natural landscape. Set within a protected conservation area, the property enjoys a rare combination of privacy, security, and natural beauty, with bushbuck roaming freely and rich birdlife throughout the area.

Completed only a few years ago, the home is north-facing and designed to maximise light, warmth, and flow. Large windows, sliding doors, and multiple outdoor living areas ensure the interior remains bright, airy, and sun-filled throughout the day, while the elevated position delivers dramatic views from almost every room.

Located just 2 km from the jetty on the lagoon, owners have easy access to boat launching, scenic walkways, and outdoor recreation. Brenton Beach is approximately 4 km away, making this an ideal base for both permanent living and holiday or rental use in one of Knysna’s most desirable lifestyle areas.

The driveway leads to a double garage with direct access to the home. A separate toilet in the garage adds convenience for guests, staff, or outdoor use. The garden is established, low-maintenance, and fully irrigated, blending naturally into the surrounding environment.

On entering the home, the view immediately takes centre stage. The main living area, kitchen, entertainment deck, and main bedroom are all on the same level, creating excellent flow and ease of living. The open-plan living area opens onto a generous deck with a built-in braai, ideal for entertaining while enjoying lagoon views by day and the lights of Knysna by night. Sunrise views from this level are particularly striking, with changing colours across the horizon and water.

The kitchen forms part of the living space and is finished to a high standard, offering quality cabinetry, Grohe fittings, an electric oven with gas hob, and space for appliances. Its layout supports both everyday living and light catering, making it well-suited to a home office setup, coffee station, or casual hospitality use.

The main bedroom opens directly onto the deck via sliding doors, allowing the view to be enjoyed from the comfort of the bed. A walk-in closet with a dressing area leads to a spacious en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and basins. An external door opens onto a private courtyard that is already prepared for an outdoor shower if desired.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom. This level also features a study nook and access to a patio, providing guests or family members with their own quiet space to enjoy the surrounding nature and views.

The home is well equipped for modern, sustainable living. Four water tanks are connected to the house via a filtration system and are currently used for household water supply. Solar panels, a 5 kVA inverter, and two batteries ensure reliable power and protection from load shedding.

Security cameras are positioned around the area, contributing to peace of mind without compromising the natural setting.

This property offers strong investment appeal due to its location, views, and low-maintenance design. It is well suited to buyers seeking a permanent residence, a high-quality lock-up-and-go home, or a lifestyle property with excellent rental or short-stay potential.

Ideal for those who value outdoor living, expansive views, and a sense of calm, this home delivers a rare balance of modern comfort, natural beauty, and long-term value in one of Knysna’s most desirable ridge-top positions.
