Exclusive Living in the Garden Route
Category News
The Garden Route is a scenic and much-loved holiday destination. These days, however, more and more people are starting to make it their permanent residence thanks to its selection of exclusive properties and the unparalleled lifestyle that living in the Garden Route affords them. And now, with more people working remotely, living along the Garden Route has become an increasingly popular option for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Garden Route has often been referred to as the jewel of the Cape and it's easy to see why, with its scenic views of towering verdant mountains, lush forests and pristine beaches. Unlike other coastal areas home to smaller towns, the Garden Route has managed to create a truly unique living opportunity for its residents thanks to its seamless integration of natural beauty with urban living, allowing it to slowly transition from an exclusive getaway destination to a place which people call home.
Unmatched real estate
Whether you're looking for a luxury modern mansion with a breath-taking view, a gorgeous property nestled away in the mountains or a rustic beach house a mere stone's throw away from the beach, you'll easily find your dream home along the Garden Route. Knysna offers residents the unique opportunity to live on an island, with luxury properties available on Thesen and Leisure Isle. Plettenberg Bay is a hub of holiday and off-season activity which boast some truly spectacular properties from sprawling mansions, to high-end penthouses; while untouched areas like Sedgefield offer residents a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle and is the perfect place to find a hidden gem beach home. When it comes to prime real estate, however, the Garden Route has some of the most luxurious golf estates in the whole country. These estates, including the sought-after Simola and Pezula Golf Estates in Knysna and the Goose Valley Golf Estate in Plettenberg Bay, all provide their residents an unparalleled luxury lifestyle and are home to some of the most opulent properties in the entire province.
A truly luxurious lifestyle
Exclusive living would be incomplete without a luxurious lifestyle to match and the Garden Route offers just that - without compromising the small-town charm of the area. You will be able to enjoy high-end retail and dining experiences, as well as spas, salons and state of the art private medical, recreational and exercise facilities especially in the slightly (and we do mean slightly) more cosmopolitan areas of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. Conversely, you also get to enjoy the small-town aspects of living along the Garden Route, including quaint coffee shops, farmers markets, quayside stores and family-run restaurants that have become local institutions. The exclusive Garden Route lifestyle is one that is perfect for people looking for a place to retire that is a step away from city life, while still offering an exciting and attractive lifestyle and for families looking to give their children a wondrous seaside upbringing with all the adventure and excitement that comes with it.
Nature at your back door
No matter where in the Garden Route you call home, you will constantly be surrounded by truly awe-inspiring natural wonders, an opportunity which city life simply doesn't offer. With cascading mountains, winding rivers, towering forests, award-winning national parks and blue-flag beaches that belong in the pages of a magazine, living in the Garden Route offers its residents the exclusive opportunity to have nature as your backyard, allowing you to sit back and truly enjoy the views. Or, if you're inclined to explore the outdoors, there are ample opportunities for walks, hikes, kayaks, boating, fishing or bicycle rides.
We can wax lyrical for hours on the wonders of the Garden Route and the lifestyle it affords its residents, but at the end of the day you'll need to see for yourself.
