Cape Town Property

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa, hence it’s affectionate nickname ‘the Mother City’. Proudly watched over by the remarkable presence of Table Mountain, this cosmopolitan capital draws people from all over the world and is consistently voted one of the world’s best cities. Unsurprisingly, Cape Town property is bought up like hotcakes by investors from all over the world because of its considerable attractions.

When it comes to natural wonders, Cape Town is decidedly wealthy. Its location offers the ecologically diverse attractions of both mountains and the ocean, while its vegetation and equable climate is ideal for unique species of flora and fauna. The Cape’s valleys nurture vineyards and orchards that are renowned worldwide and its patchwork-quilt plains are a breath-taking, multi-coloured display of each farmer’s harvest.

Stately Cape Dutch homes and bourgeois Georgian-styled apartments are found in the older sections of Cape Town – beautiful heirlooms left in a country steeped in history. Cape Town real estate is as sought after today as it ever was, attracting investors and celebrities from overseas looking for secluded beach houses for holiday retreats, as well as local buyers intent on settling down and making a life in a family home.

And life is seldom dull in this city of adventure. From mountain biking and high-speed boating to extreme sports like kite surfing, skydiving and paragliding, there is very little that one can’t do. Those with less of a sporty nature can enjoy leisurely days sun-soaking on any of Cape Town’s pristine beaches, exploring the local craft markets like Green Market Square, or trawling any of the many up-market malls and quirky shops scattered around town.

Places of educational interest include more than 7 museums, art galleries on most streets in town, the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront that displays a plethora of strange and wonderful marine life, and historical Robben Island where former-president Nelson Mandela was held a political prisoner for many years.

Cape Town nightlife, offering anything from cozy jazz or cigar bars to vibrant, trendy clubs is another much talked-about phenomenon, professed to entertain from sundown to sunset.

Offering an ideal environment for children to grow up in, Cape Town has many schools that are well-reputed and respected in South Africa, plus a host of outdoor activities sure to tempt kids away from their computers or the TV out into the fresh air.

Cape Town is also well known for its local hospitality and is an accurate collage of the country’s different cultures working and living together effectively.

Small wonder Cape Town property is highly sought after by holidaymakers and families alike.
