Pezula is a luxury private nature reserve on the Eastern Head of Knysna, on South Africa's scenic Garden Route, 40 minutes' flight time from Cape Town. The Estate covers 612 hectares and is one of the lowest density build projects in the country. A huge rehabilitation programme has seen the land restored to its original habitation following a destructive period of commercial exploitation.
Owners building onsite are encouraged to use solar panels to cut carbon emissions. Homeowners are encouraged to recycle their household waste. The sewage system comprises biological filter treatment units, enabling it to be used for irrigation. Rainwater tanks are compulsory on each property. Purchasers are encouraged to use natural materials from sustainable sources and adopt environmentally sensitive building practices when constructing their homes. Existing plantation roads have been transformed into strip roads lined with indigenous vegetation; stormwater run-off is minimised by limiting hard road surfaces. |
