Eastford, Knysna

Knysna's Eastford Country Estate is situated on the hillside, neighbouring the renowned Simola Golf & Country Estate. It is minutes from Knysna town and offers its residents a tranquil luxury lifestyle.

The estate has views of the Knysna Heads on one side and the Outeniqua Mountains on the other. The contemporary homes offer free-flowing living space with elevated decks and verandas with braai areas. The estate is both private and secure.

It was originally a pine plantation, and in 1991, developers purchased and transformed it into a nature reserve, re-establishing its natural fauna and flora. Residents can enjoy 50 ha of natural fynbos as a part of the Cape Floral Kingdom.

Within the estate, there is an indigenous nursery, and the reserve has a vast array of stunning plants, including Erica's and Proteas. Residents are given the opportunity to see bushbuck, lynx, and prolific birdlife, such as the Knysna Loerie, which is endemic to the Knysna area.
