DECEASED ESTATE – PRIME RENOVATION OPPORTUNITY IN OLD PLACE, KNYSNA
A rare opportunity presents itself in the ever-popular and established suburb of Old Place, Knysna. This Deceased Estate property is being offered to the market for the first time in many years — a genuine chance for renovators, investors, and visionaries to unlock exceptional value in a sought-after location.
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys a peaceful position while still offering convenient access to the amenities and activity of Knysna’s nearby commercial hub. The stand is an impressive 960m², dotted with beautiful established trees, including mature fruit trees such as avocado and nectarine.
The residence itself is a large, older wooden home that has seen very little maintenance in recent years and now requires significant renovation — ideal for buyers seeking a project with strong upside potential. The multi-level layout provides versatility and ample space for reimagining.
Property Features
Ground Level:
- Living area
- Basic kitchen space
- 1 bedroom
- 1 bathroom
- Garage converted into an additional room currently used for storage
First Level (street-level from rear):
- Main living floor
- Kitchen with open-plan lounge and dining area
- 2 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms (one compact)
- Deck area (currently unsafe due to wood deterioration)
Third Level – Loft Conversion:
- Lounge

The external timber siding, decking, and general condition reflect long-term weathering and lack of upkeep, offering a blank slate for an ambitious renovator to transform this property into something special.
Why This Property Stands Out
- Deceased Estate – realistic, motivated sale
- Large 960m² stand with beautiful mature trees
- Quiet cul-de-sac position in an established neighbourhood
- Multiple living levels offering flexible redevelopment options
- Significant renovation potential with strong future value
This is a true “buy it right and add value” opportunity for the investor, builder, or buyer ready to take on a project. Properties with this much potential — and this much space — seldom reach the market in Old Place.
