Description
Vision and precision make this contemporary & classy eco-off-the-grid home a world class design. All within rectilinear concrete and steel structures, designed on one level in a steady flowing sequence of space and natural light, flanked by outsized sliding doors, this home peers onto the edge of its own indigenous forest valley. Specifically orientated north-eastwards along the green forest frame, built to enjoy the simultaneous living of flowing indoors and out – the owners, being outdoor people, took open plan living to another level. The piece de resistance brags a magnificent chefs delight in the huge patio featured by a stately BBQ fire place and pizza oven. Mixed medias with solid oak, concrete and sandstone, stand out against the understated minimalist design, with practical use of every space – no cutting corners. The nuanced lighting highlights this masterpiece to the full.
Clip lock Chroma deck roofing with high wood ceilings and high windows encourages northern light and warmth inside, these vast sliding doors bring in controlled refreshing ventilation.
Utmost attention to detail with mixed media and high-quality finishes, makes this a state-of-the-art modern home. Private indigenous views complete this unique property. We can continue too: what with the Gourmet kitchen sharing the open plan areas, cast iron fireplace, sunny pool position, solar heating, water storage to name but a few of the features that this single level linear home offers, with its 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and scenic study.

Conveniently close to both Knysna’s Golf Course and Pezula Golf Estate, spa, restaurants and walks around Leisure isle and Lagoon swims, this perfect custom home is ready for you to simply move in and love!
