Property description

Exclusive Mandate - Set within the well-regarded and tightly held Peregrin Place, this exceptionally neat duplex home offers a rare opportunity to secure a quality investment in one of Knysna’s most central and convenient locations.

Positioned in Upper Central Knysna, just off Hill Street, the property enjoys effortless access to shops, the waterfront, medical facilities, and daily amenities — making it highly attractive to both long-term tenants and seasonal “swallow” owners who return each year. The home is arranged over two levels and offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a main en-suite, along with a convenient guest cloakroom (toilet and basin) positioned downstairs adjacent to the lounge and dining area.

Two of the bedrooms are located upstairs, including the main suite, both opening via sliding doors onto a shared balcony with sweeping views across the Knysna Lagoon and through to the Heads. Underfloor heating in both upstairs bedrooms, as well as in the lounge and dining area, ensures comfort throughout the cooler months, while the two upstairs bathrooms are both fitted with heated towel rails for added convenience.

The upstairs landing area has been thoughtfully utilised by the current owner as a small study, creating a practical work-from-home space without compromising the bedroom layout. The third bedroom is positioned downstairs and is generously sized, easily accommodating a queen bed, while also offering flexibility as a second reception room or work-from-home space when required.

The living areas are open and welcoming, flowing out towards balconies and outdoor spaces that maximise the views. A neatly fitted kitchen with granite countertops complements the overall quality of the home, with solid cupboard doors crafted from refined old Yellowwood — a feature that adds warmth and character. Matching granite finishes are carried through to the bathroom vanities. The interior walls have a textured, Italian-style finish that is both visually appealing and easy to maintain. Central TV connection points are installed in the bedrooms and living areas for convenience. A thoughtful layout includes a storage area beneath the staircase, ideal for additional cupboards or even a wine storage solution.

The property includes two automated garages, separated by an internal wall. While access is not directly into the home, both garages are positioned close to the entrance, allowing for convenient and secure movement between the garage and the front door. The high-volume roof design provides the potential to install additional overhead storage if required. Outside, a neat private garden area with washing lines offers further practical space, along with room for light gardening or outdoor enjoyment. Fibre connectivity is available in the complex, with the connection point running along the lower balcony, allowing a new owner to easily install and activate the service if required.

Peregrin Place is a boutique complex of just eight homes, secured with electric fencing and linked to a 24-hour security response service. Popular with "Swallow" investors with 2 current European owners in the complex. The development is known for its high standard of upkeep, strong management, and a unique levy structure that proactively covers maintenance and improvements — reducing the risk of unexpected expenses.

This particular home is being offered with a key advantage for investors: The current owner wishes to remain in occupation for approximately 12 months after transfer and is prepared to enter into a market-related rental agreement. This provides immediate, reliable rental income from day one, with a known and committed tenant already in place.

The combination of location, condition, views, and secure tenancy makes this an ideal acquisition for:

- Investors seeking stable, short-term income
- International buyers looking for a future lock-up-and-go base in Knysna
- Buyers wanting a well-managed, low-risk property in a premium position

Peregrin Place remains one of those rare complexes where ownership is long-term, pride is evident, and standards are consistently maintained.
