The award-winning Pezula Private Estate is recognised internationally as one of the most successful luxury developments in the world.
Located on the Eastern Head of Knysna on South Africa's scenic Garden Route, just 40 minutes' flight from Cape Town, it consists of 612 hectares and has nearly 4 kms of coastline. It is bordered by the Noetzie beach and Sinclair Nature Reserve and has panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and the magnificent indigenous forests and fynbos landscapes of the Southern Cape. It is close to the Pezula Championship Course and Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa, and homeowners have access to all the facilities and amenities of the award-winning resort.
With only 255 residential sites, Pezula Private Estate is one of the lowest density projects in South Africa. Plots vary in size from 3 000m2 to 33 000m2 and only 15 percent of the estate is being developed. Eighty five percent of the property will remain pristine indigenous forests and rehabilitated coastal fynbos overlooking the sheltered beaches below the cliffs.
When the Pezula Group purchased the cliff-top real estate that was to become Pezula Private Estate, much of it was covered in commercial pine and blue gum forests. The company launched a massive rehabilitation programme to restore the land to its original pristine state. The huge success of this endeavour has been hailed internationally and recognised with a number of prestigious awards.
Recently Pezula Private Estate was officially registered with CapeNature as part of The Knysna Coastal Conservancy, together with its surrounding areas. Comprising some 880 hectares of land, the conservancy incorporates all the different property usages on Pezula as well as the adjacent Sparrebosch Home Owners Association. Initiated by Jessica Hayes, Pezula Private Estate environmental manager, the conservancy’s main aims are the conservation of natural resources, the extension of a conservation area network, and the creation of increased public awareness regarding wise management of the natural environment.
