This is a rare opportunity to acquire this unique property. The owner is retiring and downsizing, resulting in this property going to market for the first time since 1989. The farm measures 21ha and borders the Westford Bridge Estate, about 0,5km from the N2 on a tar road.
There is nothing quite like it in the area, with its spectacular views over Knysna, the Lagoon, Simola and the Knysna River, and the stunning Outeniqua Mountains serving as a special backdrop.
The main dwelling (circa 1956) measures 600m² with high quality finishes throughout. The house contains polished wooden floors, teak panelling, high ceilings, three bedrooms, two bathrooms (main en suite), study, lounge with cosy gas fireplace, dining room and sun room, kitchen and scullery, and a walk-through laundry area, plus a double garage with a walk-in pit. There is undercover parking for 13 cars.
The property receives electricity from Telkom and has two back-up generators in the spacious workshop. There is plenty of water, with two huge underground storage tanks and a septic tank.
Fairhill Lodge is a cottage on the property and is currently let. The house contains an open plan living area plus two bedrooms (main en suite) and a study. There is also a guest toilet, a spacious covered stoep (deck) looking over Knysna, and a car port.
The second auction involves a commercial building in central Knysna. The property, situated on the corner position on Fitchet Street enjoys a strategic location, and is heritage-listed having been built in 1864. There is hand sawn yellowood throughout the property, which is currently rented out as a laundrette and flat.
A number of valuables and household items will be auctioned:
One beautiful 1935 British Baby Grand Piano recently serviced and tuned
A collectable 1960s valve/tone wheel Hammond B3 organ with stool - in mint condition
Antique double bed and side tables and many other items of interest
Full list available from auctioneer on request
