As more people make their way to 'zoom towns' and the work-from-home trend continues, many property buyers are setting their sights on towns outside of large cities where they can have a more relaxed lifestyle surrounded by nature rather than the hustle and bustle normally associated with city living.
Stellenbosch might be South Africa’s second-oldest town, but this picturesque Boland town is a vibrant hub of youthful culture, gourmet cafes, delicious wines, world-class sporting facilities, and undeniable charm. While offering a sense of tranquility and unmatched chic country living.
Families fall in love with quiet suburbs and the top schools in the area. Die Boord, Dalsig, Rozendal, Uniepark, and Simonswyk are just some of the areas that are very popular for family home buyers as children could easily walk or cycle to school.
If you prefer estate living, Welgevonden, Nooitgedacht Estate, De Zalze, Longlands, Digteby, and Brandwacht on River could just be the setting for your next home - don’t expect homes that overpower its surroundings but rather complements it with its chic and elegant design aesthetic.
In areas such as Raithby, you will find impressive homesteads on farming properties, offering not only a wealth of farming opportunities but also commercial activities such as wedding venues or guesthouses.
Jamestown on the southern outskirts of Stellenbosch offers a quiet rural setting with plenty of new and old homes to choose from - the suburb also boasts the convenient Stellenbosch Square which offers plenty of shopping and entertainment options to residents.
Looking towards the future, Stellenbosch has recently become the first town in South Africa looking into ways to shed Eskom for good to ensure residents are not left at the mercy of loadshedding.
