This home on a spectacular plot of land with sweeping views of the ocean and indigenous natural forest all within one frame will take your breath away.

Situated within one of the most environmentally aware and best luxury developments in the world you will be intrigued as soon as you arrive at the gates of Pezula Private Estate. Once you pass through the 24-hour manned security gates you are transported to a magical world where nature, views, peace and tranquility reign supreme.

This unique contemporary build is discreetly tucked into the side of a cliff positioned above a gorge opening out to the magnificent surrounding. On arriving at this home your eye is immediately drawn to the roof that is designed to resemble the unfurling sails of a dhow as it catches the wind enticing you to step inside to see what is hidden beyond. As you step over the threshold you are taken on a journey of outstanding architecture, sublime interiors and unfolding aerial views of the ocean.

Set on three levels of expansive living, entertaining and dining spaces integrated within the natural contour of the land and framed by a stone wall axis built from material excavated on site during construction. This warm and welcoming home is positioned to provide respite from the elements in any season or weather while being surrounded by sea, sky and tranquil pools of water, it literally feels like you have set sail into the ocean.

Immerse yourself in this unique seaside retreat with all the activities you love the most whether it is swimming laps in the heated indoor pool, lounging on the outdoor jacuzzi deck listening to the ocean or catching a glimpse of Southern Right Whales as they migrate along the coastal waters. Perhaps spend reflective time on one of many fabulous look-out decks, listening to the symphony of bird calls while keeping a lookout for the elusive Knysna Lourie with its brilliant red wings that is a resident in the indigenous evergreen forest on your doorstep.
