Fernwood Private Estate offers the best of Knysna living
Knysna’s Fernwood Private Estate BLURB: Exquisite living in the natural fynbos? A home that also enjoys a commanding. northfacing view of the Knysna Lagoon?
With more than 75% of the land reserved for the preservation of its wild areas, the 48-hectare Fernwood Private Estate captures the essence of the Knysna we’ve all come to love - which is why it’s set to become the most desirable location in the Garden Route’s most desirable destination.
FERNWOOD PRIVATE ESTATE MAKES THE BEST OF WONDERFUL COASTAL TOWN
Situated on the slopes of the Knysna Heads - the Eastern Head, to be precise, which puts it right next door to the Pezula Championship Golf Course - and with views of the Knysna Estuary, the town itself, the Outeniqua Mountains, and even (from some of the properties), of the warm Indian Ocean, the Estate is the last remaining, north-west-facing site available for development in the Knysna Basin.
Yet it’s only about seven kilometres from the CBD and the Knysna Waterfront, with its famous restaurants, shopping, and yacht club; three kilometres from one of the best small hospitals anywhere in rural South Africa (Life Knysna Private Hospital); and ten minutes from a selection of top schools (Oakhill, Knysna Montessori, Knysna High School, Knysna Primary School).
LIMITED DEVELOPMENT AND A KNYSNA SKOLLY
Fernwood Private Estate was laid out nearly ten years ago, with roads, electricity, water, and a secure, electrified perimeter fence all installed. And, with the first show-house complete (and looking great!), the Homeowners Association Constitution approved by the Knysna Municipality, and an environmental management plan and architectural guidelines in place freehold property owners can now begin the exciting process of planning and building their homes without delay as 11.5 hectares of the 48 hectare Estate are available for residential use.
Fernwood Ridge (stands of 1,000 m2 to 1,663 m2, all with Lagoon and mountain views, and some with those Ocean views mentioned above. Priced from R 650,000 to R 1,995,000 and Fernwood Close (stands of 403 m2 to 702 m2), all with views of the rolling hills of the Western Head, and many with views of the Lagoon. Priced from R 550,000.
The remaining 36.5 ha have been declared private open space which, as stated in the rules of the Estate, is “actively managed as a rehabilitation area for fynbos, forest, and butterflies.” But wait. Butterflies? Butterflies? Yes indeed, like Brenton-on-Sea on the Western Head (the only known home of the Brenton blue butterfly, with its own butterfly reserve), Fernwood is the only known home of a critically endangered butterfly called the Knysna skolly (Thestor brachycerus brachycerus) - which is why one of the residential erven on Fernwood Estate has been set aside as the Knysna skolly butterfly reserve.
Butterflies aren’t the only wild creatures you’ll find here. Look out for small buck and other animals that thrive in the fynbos - and you’ll want to relax on the lawn around the dam, which is a particularly good spot for bird watching. In exactly the same way that Fernwood Estate is the perfect location for your new home. CONTACT US
