Fairhill Estate in Uitzig, Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa

Estate 22 Hectares Overlooking the Knysna Lagoon Erf 191/27

Magnificent Fairhill Estate. A 22 Hectares Estate with two existing homes consisting of 600 Sq Metre main house built in 1956, of very high quality solid brick construction and concrete tile roof, with high ceilings, large rooms and Rhodesian Teak panelling plus central heating and an AGA in the kitchen,just stunning with a walk through double garage into the kitchen. There is a large Pit in the garage to aid with the maintenance of vehicles and farm equipment. The second dwelling is 130 Sq Metres being a 3 bedroom cottage in beautiful condition and only 20 years old. Both homes have stunning views out over the Knysna Lagoon and River with Simola Golf Course and the Outeniqua Mountains in the distance. The sunrises are spectacular coming straight into the main bedrooms of both dwellings. The property is "On Grid" with Eskom Power but also has two back up generators in case of power failure, both in perfect order having seen very little use. The main house has just been upgraded with new wiring and "Earth Leakage" to comply with local authority regulations. The property is very self sufficient otherwise, relying on rain water collection for both dwellings with very large professionally built underground tanks and its own Septic Tanks and grey water soak away.
This property is ripe for development into 8 / 10 upmarket homes within the private Estate butting on to the Westford Bridge Estate. Basic layouts have been done but not progressed due to the downturn in the property market due to the world wide financial situation.
I have been the owner for the last 25 years and having re married and resettled overseas I feel the time has come to find a new owner/investor to take the property forward. There is undercover parking for a further 9 cars including a separate self contained double garage and store area.
The whole property is serviced by the fully tarred Rheenendal Road which is of top quality and only 1/2 Km from the main N2 to Cape Town, 7 mins by car to the Knysna town centre and 15 Mins to Buffalo Bay one of the best unpolluted beaches in the world.
This really is a very unique property in the heart of the extremely beautiful Western Cape Garden Route, a real hidden gem. A rare opportunity for the developer or just to be kept as a private estate for the very wealthy, an ideal "Getaway" from the harsh winters in Europe and find sunny summer weather in Knysna. The Property is currently fully let on a month to month basis. Current Tenants have been in place 3 years. The Cottage was previously let for a 10 year period. The area is relatively "Crime Free" and I have had no petty crime incidents in the past 25 years and do not need burglar bars etc.
