What makes Stellenbosch Central a great suburb?
The beautiful Stellenbosch central, roughly an hour from Cape Town, lies surrounded by the Stellenbosch Mountains in the Jonkershoek River Valley in one of the most picturesque settings in the Cape. Also called ‘Eikestad’ or city of oaks and its streets are lined with some of the most beautiful surviving examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian architecture in the Cape. Dorp Street is a national monument and it’s worthwhile taking the time to walk around this cosy old part of Stellenbosch, with its secluded lanes, water furrows, cosmopolitan restaurants and coffee bistros, with superb views of mountain, vineyards and orchards. The name ‘Stellenbosch’ is almost synonymous with the wine industry. Not only does it have the oldest wine route in the country, and arguably the most famous, but the town has one of the most modern experimental wineries in the world. South Africa’s oldest music school, the famous Stellenbosch Conservatoire, has its home in this important cultural centre, and there is a collection of galleries and museums housing national and international art collections worth viewing.

My tip
One of the best possible property investments is to buy in the Stellenbosch central property market. There is always a high demand for tenants and not only is a median rental yield possible but also a very high capital growth.

My tip
The area is in need of flats to let and houses as the rentals in the area and areas surrounding Silverton is of higher priority. Lower rental properties with gardens are requested regularly. Buyers with Deposits of at least 10 % are more likely to get an approval from the banks. Buy while you are younger of age to have an investment when you retire.

The typical buyer
The typical buyer are your younger families from all over the country, wanting to buy a holiday house for themselves, but with the and the potential to rent out, and at the end of the day to retire here in the Garden Route.
Price overview
The popularity of this area increased the supply and demand and this forced the prices to rise while limiting the rental stock availability. Bay View is still one of the safest neighbourhoods in the area,. You can start looking from the R2mil price range, up to R15 mil for beachfront properties. In Hartenbos you get the older houses, and more holiday flats starting at about R900 000 up to R6mil, all depends on the location. The average buyers in this area normally pay R1,5mil to R3,5mil.

You also have a choice of different wine and game farms you can visit. This area really caters for everyone in the family!!
My tip
This is still a very good area for your investor buyers seeing that the current rental stock shortage is a big problem. The other very positive tip for this area, is the location, close to an airport, basically in the middle of two big cities, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, good schools, excellent hospitals and medical care centres, and then all the tourism attractions in this area, and most important the second most moderate climate in the world, Haiwai is the only place that beat us on that!!

Maarten Groos
Guthrie and Theron has been working in the Baardskeerdersbos Valley for 11 consecutive years and is the only real estate agency with a residential agent in the valley. I have lived in the valley for 16 years and know practically all of the people here.
What makes Baardskeerdersbos a great suburb?
Baardskeerdersbos is a village located in a valley with an old-fashioned sense of space and still ruled by nature. Baardskeerdersbos will always rank as a small rural node with the historical role and function of an agricultural settlement and conservation center, surrounded by farms and nature reserves. Keeping the tranquil rural character intact is paramount for the inhabitants of Baardskeerdersbos.
The typical buyer
Baardskeerdersbos is an artist's village, hosting the bi-annual Baardskeerdersbos art route. The typical buyer embraces the easy-going atmosphere that comes with this and is either self-employed or (semi-) retired or simply looking for a second rural home.
Price overview
Baardskeerdersbos is a village which is still in transition after the tarring of the road from Gansbaai to Bredasdorp and prices can still fluctuate. A 3000 m² vacant stand with traditional water right will however sell for around R 600 to R 700'000 and a 150 m² cottage will sell between R 1,5 million and R 2 million.
Popular in this area
Baardskeerdersbos borders the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy including guest lodges such as Grootbos Nature Reserve and farm 215 - private nature reserve and Lomond Wine Estate. "Lokal" is a famous high quality pop-up restaurant in the main road of Baardskeerdersbos. On the road to the neighbouring heritage-village, is the Black Oyster Catcher Wine Estate and Brewery.
My tip
Several interesting small developments in tune with the rural and small-scale character of the village are planned, such as a coffee roastery and tasting room, a small guesthouse, fruityards and a nursery. It is expected that the village will change from the point of view of businesses it has on offer quite a bit in the coming 5 years. It is a small village and most people buy to keep their property for the long haul. Now is the time to become part of this tranquil rural haven.
