Overberg Property | Area Info

Property in the Overberg is without a doubt some of the most ideally situated in terms of its prime location in beautiful natural surroundings. The Overberg is essentially an expanse of land in South Africa’s Western Cape that lies on the southernmost tip of the African continent and stretches from the Hottentots Holland Mountains in the west to Swellendam in the east and from the Riviersonderend Mountains in the north to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the south.

Those interested in Overberg property for sale will find the surrounding area covered in golden wheat, stunning forests and fragrant indigenous fynbos, all enclosed in the majestic hug of mountains in the north, east and west of the region. If this isn’t enough then there is always the mesmerizing ocean rolling out for miles on end in the south that promises a rugged coastline filled with the possibility of amusement and adventure. Anyone who owns property here has access to healthy walks in the mountains, kloofs and all along the coast.

The Bontebok National Park near Swellendam and the De Hoop Nature Reserve near Waenhuiskrans / Arniston boast one of the rarest antelope species in South Africa – the bontebok. Also found here are mountain zebra, red hartebeest, eland and various other smaller antelope species. There is even the possibility that one will see a leopard, but sightings are rare considering the animal’s preference for nocturnal activities. Perhaps one of the most attractive features about the Overberg region is the fact that there are no cities, only lush landscape dotted with towns and villages, each offering a unique history and cultural delights. There really is no doubt why Cape Town’s investors are so interested in Overberg property.
