This house could honestly be heaven, and all good people deserve to live here.

If they have R49 million stashed away, that is.

Pezula House sits on the crest of the Pezula Private Estate mountain in Knysna. ‘Pezula’ means ‘high up with the gods’, which is fitting.

The property is made up of 612 breathtaking hectares and 4km of pristine coastline, with nearby places named ‘Wilderness’ and ‘Garden of Eden’ and is only a 20-minute drive from the small town of Knysna.

If nothing else, it’s worth it for the views of fynbos and the Indian Ocean all around.

It can all be easily enjoyed from the south-facing garden and an astonishing lap pool that juts out into the landscape.

Here’s more from Perfect Hideaways:

A long terrace room is on axis with the swimming pool, its glass walls able to slide away on three sides providing a massive space in which to entertain or just relax.

At the heart of the property, a garden courtyard featuring structured planting and an ornamental pool, is enclosed on four sides by living areas arranged in a series of pavilions, those on the west side opening onto a smaller, private courtyard.

Across the property, on both east and west sides, the en suite bedrooms have private decks overlooking the fynbos. The main house, guest studio and cottage all make the most of the views, bringing the landscape into the spacious interiors via massive windows and a range of natural finishes designed to incorporate the surrounding location.

While the finishes reflect the infinite magnificence of this African location, freestanding baths are carefully positioned so that the bather can soak up the view, beds arranged so that at night you fall asleep to the sound of the ocean below, while the light, white modern interiors invite a barefoot lifestyle unrestricted by clutter.

The property has three en suite bedrooms, a guest room, and a one-bedroom cottage.

Other noteworthy features include a gym, wine cellar, domestic quarters, and five garages.

Oh, there’s also water purification systems, solar heating, and air conditioning, so you definitely won’t be uncomfortable.

Nearby is the award-winning Pezula Championship Golf Course and the Conrad Resort Hotel & Spa, with tons of hiking in pristine indigenous forest and rehabilitated coastal fynbos right on your doorstep.

I’ve been trying not to make this joke the whole time, but… it’s Knys-na?
