The story of Belvidere begins in 1830 when the land was acquired by George Rex, the "squire and
proprietor of Knysna" who settled here and became the foremost timber merchant in the district.
When a young Scotsman named Thomas Henry Duthie married George's third daughter, Caroline,
in 1833, he bought the farm named Belvidere from his father-in-law for £750
Gray Rutherford acquired this land in the 1980's and started planning what was to become Belvidere Estate. After many hours of planning and many approvals the estate was registered by the Surveyor General on 2 December 1987.
The first plots on Belvidere went on the market at Belvidere House on 1 December 1987 with an Opening Party on the 16 December '87.
