Property description

 Set high above Brenton On Lake in the exclusive Ridgewood area, this exceptional stand enjoys uninterrupted, panoramic views over the Knysna Lagoon. Tucked away in aquiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by high-value homes, the position is private,elevated, and highly sought after. 

This is not a raw vacant stand. Substantial progress has already been made, allowing a new owner to step into a well-prepared project with a solid foundation in place. The civil engineering and foundations have been partially completed to an exceptionally high standard, with electrical conduits, plumbing piping, and required services already set into the slab and signed off by engineers. This removes much of the early-stage riskand delay typically associated with new builds. 

Approved architectural plans are in place for a substantial two-storey home designed to maximise the elevated position and sweeping lagoon views. The approved accommodation includes a ground floor of 129 m² and a first floor of 259 m², giving a total planned building size ofapproximately 388 m². The layout has been carefully considered to suit both the site and the Ridgewood setting. 

Construction was paused after the foundations were cast, and the original, well-established building contractor is available to continue the build if continuity is preferred. Selected building materials have already been delivered to site, further streamlining the nextphase of construction. 

From a buyer’s perspective, this property offers a meaningful saving when compared to buying a similar stand and starting from scratch. Significant time, professional input, approvals, and groundwork have already been completed, allowing a new owner to move forward with confidenceand efficiency.
