Colonial-Style Family Home in Eastford Vale – Your Private “Out of Africa” Retreat
Welcome to this beautifully appointed colonial-style residence in the sought-after Eastford Vale, Knysna. Set on a large and completely private stand, the home blends timeless charm with modern comfort, offering generous space, character-filled design, and an exceptional sense of tranquillity. The main living areas feature high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and large aluminium-and-wood-frame windows that invite natural light throughout the day. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a 13m x 5m fresh-water pool (complete with SaltLogic pump and pool cover), a poolside gazebo, and a full volleyball court, creating the perfect environment for relaxed family living and effortless entertaining.
The well-designed kitchen includes a gas hob, electric oven, extractor fan, granite countertops, and tiled flooring, while a separate scullery houses two inverters and two batteries for uninterrupted power. The upper-level mezzanine offers an informal TV lounge and office, and the home features six versatile bedrooms, including one en-suite room with a private outdoor gas shower, a room on the mezzanine level ideal for a studio or office, and an external en-suite room perfect for guests, staff, or Airbnb-style accommodation.
Water and energy efficiency are standout features, with two 2,000L water tanks, a 5,000L irrigation tank, 12 solar panels, dual 5kW Sunsynk hybrid inverters, and two 7kWh lithium batteries providing seamless backup power and long-term savings.
Additional features include a double garage and carports for three vehicles.
The pool is pH-balanced and exceptionally gentle on the skin and eyes, offering an almost “fresh-water” swimming experience. The SaltLogic system converts salt into a very light, natural chlorine, keeping the water clean while maintaining only a slight saltiness. Even with minimal added chlorine, the pool remains neutral, comfortable, and easy to maintain. Combined with the solar-ready energy setup, this home ensures year-round comfort, efficiency, and reliability. Ideal for modern living in a tranquil estate setting.
