Pezula Golf Estate, Knysna

Welcome to 6 & 7 Bowsprit – a bush-lodge inspired home set deep in indigenous forest, where modern design and nature blend seamlessly. A sculptural waterfall leads to the entrance, flowing into a natural pond beside the front door. The property includes a double garage and a fully self-contained apartment with its own kitchenette, bathroom and Juliet balcony—ideal for guests or Airbnb. The main level offers double-volume spaces, walls of glass, a granite-topped kitchen, Kiaat hardwood finishes and a stone-clad Jetmaster fireplace. Sliding doors open to a herb garden deck and an enclosed courtyard known as “The Cave,” currently used for water filtration and utilities, with potential for a wine cellar or entertainment space. Additional flexible areas include a utility room with extraction fans and a reverse osmosis system. Upstairs, a TV lounge flows to a large balcony, while the main suite offers treetop views, a natural-stone bathroom and a private deck. A second en-suite bedroom opens to its own forest-facing deck, and a third bedroom features a handcrafted Kiaat spiral staircase leading to a loft ideal for work or studio use.

The property spans a private 2016m² stand at the end of a cul-de-sac with only one neighbour and a sheltered microclimate. A separate “Pool House” cottage with glass stacking doors overlooks the renovated pool area, which includes a lap pool and a heated pool with spa jets, RGB lighting and a waterfall feature, framed by sandstone rockwork. Key infrastructure includes an 8kW Sunsynk inverter with 20kWh batteries, a 5-stage water filtration plant and reverse osmosis system. Forest trails wind through the grounds, attracting bushbuck, birdlife and other wildlife. Private, peaceful and one-of-a-kind, 6 & 7 Bowsprit is a modern forest retreat designed for comfort, privacy and connection with nature.
