Property Details

This is your chance to secure one of the most valuable development parcels in Knysna — a combined offering of two adjoining stands positioned right on the N2, with elevated views over the Knysna Lagoon and iconic Heads.

Stand 1 – 3.2 Ha with Income-Generating Assets

The larger of the two stands features a grand double-storey heritage building that’s already home to a popular, fully operational coffee shop and several small businesses. Previously used as a school and a restaurant, this versatile space is currently zoned Residential 1 — but holds clear potential for rezoning to commercial or mixed use. This property offers immediate rental income and future development upside.

Stand 2 – 8,632 m2 Vacant Land with Development Potential

The adjacent vacant stand is zoned residential and comes with a proposed layout for up to 60 units. Its gentle slope from the N2/Waterfront Drive down to the Lagoon guarantees breathtaking views for any future development — making it ideal for a high-demand residential or mixed-use project.

Why This Property Stands Out:

Largest development-ready site in central Knysna

Prime exposure on the N2 with high visibility and accessibility

Zoning flexibility – residential now, with rezoning potential for commercial/mixed use

Municipal support – located within an area earmarked for mixed-use development under the current Spatial Development Plan

High demand for affordable housing in the region ensures rapid sell-through on new units

This is a rare opportunity for visionary developers to capitalize on Knysna’s growing market with a landmark project. Whether you're looking to expand your investment portfolio or create a signature mixed-use development, this site delivers the location, scale, and potential to make it happen.

Opportunities of this size and scope in Knysna are extremely limited — act now.
