Residential vacant land for sale in Paradise, Knysna

Before the devastating Knysna fires of 2017, this exceptional stand was home to a luxury guest house, leaving behind a prime 1 619 m² site ready for redevelopment. Perched on a prominent ridge in Paradise this extraordinary position, renowned for its elevated setting and sweeping lagoon views, now offers outstanding potential for a luxury modern residence or a visionary revival of boutique accommodation.

Today, the stand invites a complete reimagining of this iconic location. Unobstructed 180-degree views stretch across the Knysna Estuary towards Leisure Island, Featherbed Bay and through The Heads, creating an exceptional interplay of light and scenery. The elevated southern aspect frames dramatic vistas, while the warm northern aspect ensures year-round natural light. With thoughtful architectural design, a new home here could capture sunlight from every direction—morning to evening—culminating in gentle west-facing sunsets reflected across the lagoon. A level platform at the top of the stand provides an ideal foundation for new construction, with generous space for parking and excellent access for building works.

A truly remarkable site with unrivalled Knysna lagoon views, ready for its next chapter. Opportunities of this calibre in Knysna are exceptionally rare.
