Nature, Privacy and the African Dream, located in Pezula Golf Estate, Knysna, Garden Route, South Africa.
welcome to 6 & 7 bowsprit – a forest retreat where bush-lodge architecture and indigenous nature blend seamlessly.
from arrival, the experience is unique: a sculptural waterfall flows beneath the entrance stairs into a natural pond beside the front door, setting a calm and organic tone.
a double garage with golf-cart space adjoins a fully self-contained apartment with kitchenette, full bathroom and juliet balcony overlooking the forest and lagoon. its placement ensures privacy from the main home and cottage – perfect for visiting guests or an airbnb/home exchange arrangement, already successfully utilised.
descending to the main living level, double-volume ceilings and expansive glass open directly to the surrounding trees. the open-plan design connects a generous granite kitchen with central island to a dining space set on warm kiaat hardwood floors – continued through the windows and staircases for a timeless, high-end finish. the lounge centres around a large jetmaster fireplace clad in natural stone, offering both scale and cosiness.
glass doors extend the living area to two outdoor spaces: a deck overlooking an indigenous herb garden, and a lush enclosed courtyard known as “the cave.” currently serving as a utility area for the waterfall and pond pump, it holds exciting potential for a future wine cellar, games room or wellness space. inside the home, another versatile utility room – previously a gym and microgreens studio – includes extraction fans and a reverse osmosis system, ready for further transformation.
upstairs, a tv lounge opens onto a large balcony with spectacular forest-and-lagoon views.
the main bedroom feels like a private treetop hideaway, wrapped in glass and immersed in nature. its en-suite bathroom features natural stone finishes, a large bath with forest views, a walk-in shower and double vanities. a secluded deck among the branches offers the perfect perch for birdwatching – turacos, sunbirds, paradise flycatchers and more are frequent visitors, with owls heard at night.
a second en-suite bedroom shares the elevated views with access to its own deck. the third bedroom delivers architectural character with a handcrafted kiaat spiral staircase leading to a loft-style workspace that connects to the garage – ideal as an artist’s studio or office.
set on an expansive 2,016m² erf at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property ensures exceptional privacy with only one neighbour and no future development alongside. the sheltered forest setting creates a calm microclimate all year round.
a separate cottage – “the pool house” – adds additional accommodation and lifestyle appeal. glass stacking doors open directly to the pool terrace, showcasing superb lagoon views. recently upgraded, the outdoor space features two connected pools – a lap pool and a heated pool with spa jets, remote lighting and a waterfall feature. a rock wall built from the property’s own sandstone frames this serene space. inside, a compact kitchen and bathroom sit below a spacious upstairs bedroom.
infrastructure enhances the property’s eco-conscious, off-grid potential:
• 8kw sunsynk inverter + 20kwh battery system supporting the home, apartment and cottage
• 5-stage water filtration in the cave
• household reverse osmosis system
a network of private walking paths winds through the surrounding indigenous forest, with hidden picnic spots and regular sightings of bushbuck, genets, butterflies and abundant birdlife – a reminder that nature is truly part of everyday living here.
6 & 7 bowsprit is more than a home – it is a living sanctuary that celebrates african texture, tranquillity and modern comfort. private, peaceful and unlike anywhere else … a place to live close to nature without compromise.
