Investors dream and renovators perfect project - Prime location
This Manor House is situated on the well known and popular Knysna River Club Estate and holiday resort.
Built in 1888 this historical building was known as Cuthbert''s Store renowned, in its time, for high quality drapery, groceries and hardware.
The resort, consisting of a number of delightful wooden chalets, is set in a cosy foresty environment with direct access to the famous Knysna Lagoon. It offers mooring which must be booked beforehand and a slipway. Entertainment is a challenging mini-golf course heated swimming pool kiddies pool and play area a games room offering pool, mini soccer and table tennis as well as other games. Bring friends to a common braai area to enjoy the facilities. You can hire bikes and explore the town and area.
The potential for the Manor is enormous! Consider splitting into numerous units, refurb it back into a restuarant with accommodation above and split the lower level into one or two units to earn income. You call it.
Before COVID the ground floor was a restaurant with a liquor licence, servicing the guests on the holiday resort as well as the local neighbourhood. The restuarant has a spacious bar area, as well as a large lounge and a separate large dining area which you would get to, through the large bar area. The kitchen area, now empty, can house a fully industrious kitchen.There are his & her''s toilets on this level as well as a large scullery adjascent to the kitchen.
Living quarters above the restaurant comprise 2 large bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
The lowest level, currently used as the resorts reception, could easily be converted into two holiday units. There is a shower, basin and toilet servicing this area. Around the corner to this, is a good sized laundry which was converted from a meeting room.
There are unapproved drawings converting it into a multi roomed Guest House.
Being an Heritage Building there is little that can change externally without the relevant approvals, except on the South side where alterations have already been made. The potential on the inside, just shy of 400m², makes it an exciting prospect for the right buyer.
