Brackenridge Estate, Plettenberg Bay

SOLE MANDATE

Brackenridge Estate - honoured to have been voted the Best Estate in Plett and Knysna for 2025.

Entering through the 24-hour manned gate, the road rises to the suburb’s hilltop setting, winding you past fynbos gardens before delivering you to this well-kept home located in a quiet cul-de-sac.

You park in the double garage, then step through the front door where porcelain tiles stretch underfoot, reflecting natural light from the skylight above the TV lounge. From here, the layout flows past a guest cloakroom into the open-plan living space, with a generous entertainment lounge and dining area. There is a gas fireplace creating a warm ambiance. The kitchen brings a crisp contrast of white soft-close cabinetry and black granite countertops, with casual seating, a gas hob and two ovens for easy entertaining, and a tucked-away scullery provisioned for appliances that leads out to a large drying yard.

The entire living space is edged by sliding glass doors, inviting the beauty of the day deep into the home. On one side, a glass-wrapped dining patio can be closed to protect from the elements or opened completely to let in the sea breeze, while a sun lounge creates a quiet corner for reading or tea. On the other side, the living area connects to a braai patio with a built-in prep counter, creating a natural flow for outdoor entertaining. Both spaces overlook the pool, landscaped garden, and gorgeous ocean view stretching towards the Robberg Peninsula and across distant hills.

Back inside, a passage beyond the lounge leads to the master suite, where white herringbone-style flooring, glass doors with shutters opening to the garden, two walk-in closets, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious Jacuzzi bath create a polished personal retreat. There is a study leading off the master bedroom. Two additional bedrooms complete the private wing, both fitted with built-in closets, that share a detached bathroom.

Everyday ease is quietly built into the home, with full solar power, an exterior storeroom, air conditioners, a pool heat pump, and ample exterior parking, while the double garage includes built-in storage and a practical workspace.

Brackenridge is a preferred address for discerning buyers who value privacy, security, nature, and beauty. The estate offers exceptional water security through two boreholes and a reservoir, while its eco-forward approach includes an estate solar grid that allows power generated by homes to feed back into the system for redistribution, reducing wastage. Set on Piesang Valley Road near Plett Country Club, it's a wonderful choice for golfers, while Greenwood School lies just down the road, offering private learning from early years to high school. From the estate gates, you're only a short, five-minute drive from town, shops, restaurants, and stunning beaches, keeping Plett's coastal lifestyle beautifully within reach.
