The Schoongezicht Lifestyle

The ethos of our estate
Schoongezicht began as a dream. It was the dream of several like-minded foreign investors, who had already seen most of the world and were now searching for a place for themselves where they would be able to fulfil their personal ideas and concepts for a future home.
In search of tranquillity and peace of mind, Schoongezight is close to the sea and beaches. A place where the beauty of nature remains largely unspoiled, with a moderate, healthy climate and plenty of sunshine.
Plettenberg Bay is a town where the infrastructure is functioning, excellent restaurants and shopping facilities are available, and with all essential services in close proximity. A place where one can leisurely pursue most sporting interests at different courses, as well as tennis and water sports, without being surrounded by endless streams of tourists.
Schoongezight Country Esatate retains a comfortable, relaxed outdoor lifestyle, in the heart of South Africa’s Garden Route.



A delicate balance with nature
Schoongezicht Estate’s original vegetation assessment was done by renowned fynbos and vegetation experts, environmental consultants and forestry professionals to form the agreement into which the estate enters with purchasers.
Every property owner is expected to comply with the requirement to maintain 25% of the erf in an entirely natural condition and to confine their garden planning to the list of indigenous trees, shrubs and flowers as recommended.
These environmental efforts allow us to claim the title of the leading ecological, indigenous estate in the area.
There are three basic vegetation types: pure fynbos, thicket and the forest, which has about 32 different indigenous tree species. Thicket is often identified by the presence of the famous Bitou bush.
A large variety of birds and some wildlife co-exist with humans. There are five dams on the property which create wetland zones for water birds and bushbuck. Islands in the water offer protection for area birds and the estate is a paradise for Knysna turaco (loerie). Bushbuck and duiker are regularly spotted and, while there is also evidence of caracal on the estate, these fit comfortably into the ecological balance and present no problem.
A wander along the 1,8 km boardwalk offers an escape into pristine surroundings. The old indigenous forest with 150 year old milkwood trees has benches, which are placed at strategic points and enable you to enjoy nature at its best.
