Estuary Heights - Landmark Listing

After spending years in France remodeling a century-old country home, South Africa's warmer climate beckoned to the owners of this chic retreat.  The owners brought their cosmopolitan experience to the bucolic enclave of Estuary Heights in Knysna. They envisioned building their dream home that would be infused with influences gained in their previous renovation experience. Estuary Heights was selected as the appropriate site for their new build, with only 17 stands represented a tranquil haven set in a country setting yet minutes from the Knysna CBD.

The home was built during 2016 by the local builder Ron Godfrey and designed by architect Johann Grobler. Its 350m2 footprint on a stand of just over an acre allowed for careful placement, ensuring its south-easterly view of the Knysna Heads. The careful attention to detail extends to all other elements of the home and garden too, with the decor of the home having been done by the owner herself. "Never before have I seen a home with such attention to detail and customisation" says Simon Harris of Hamilton's Property Portfolio, Garden Route. "The oak flooring was imported from France, the marble from Italy and every light fitting was specifically designed for each room." No single element has been left untouched and the entire design philosophy baulks against the standard style of finishes so often seen".  This is particularly evident in the bespoke kitchen, supplied by Naron Woods and Michael Pretorius, which serves as the charming and elegant heart of this abode.

The home offers three en suite bedrooms with the master suite featuring an adjoining study.  Functional elements that set this home further apart include a walk in refrigerator, double glazing on all windows, bespoke glass stacking doors and even include a pool pump that operates on solar power.  The indigenous fynbos garden so ably landscaped by Ester Townsend & Co is both a functional and aesthetic delight.
