Step back in time to one of the first houses built on Thesen Island, Knysna’s most coveted estate - a characterful and comfortable 4-bedroom waterfront retreat (3 en-suite main house bedrooms + independent 1-bedroom flatlet) where larger families or groups can truly wind down and 'live their truth' amid peaceful natural surroundings.
Perfectly positioned at the island's best spot, where the canals open into the Knysna Lagoon, enjoy unblemished panoramic views, abundant birdlife, and direct water access via your own private jetty - just as past guests have discovered, this timeless home offers unbeatable value throughout the year.
Inside, the vast open-plan living space offers cozy, lived-in comfort with furnishings full of personality, blending indoor warmth with outdoor splendor across multiple decks and patios. The four en-suite bedrooms (including the flatlet's private lounge and kitchenette) provide flexible sanctuaries for relaxation.
Outside, savour the exclusivity of this edge-of-estate location, far from the commercial bustle yet a leisurely stroll to Thesen Harbour Town’s restaurants and shops.
With a double garage, solar power for uninterrupted comfort, and proximity to Knysna’s iconic Heads, this is the ultimate spot for discerning travelers to reconnect with nature.
