Malmesbury is also only about 20 minutes from Durbanville, a significant commercial hub in Cape Town’s northern suburbs.

“In fact, we believe Malmesbury is about to become a new growth node, attracting an increasing number of home buyers,” says Borg.

“Most of our home buyers are moving here from Cape Town, with some from the rest of the country. Malmesbury is ‘pure platteland’, a farming community which speaks to city dwellers. The town is clean, safe and close by, which means it’s also appealing as a weekend retreat.

“This is a friendly, welcoming town where people still smile at each other in the street, greeting total strangers who pass. Mostly Afrikaans-speaking, the key appeal for living in Malmesbury is the family lifestyle, tranquillity, country ambience, the winelands and security. Many farmers have retired in the town while their children run the farms. We have people living in Malmesbury from generation to generation but in the past 20 years many new residents have moved in from around South Africa.”

With a high standard of schools and good infrastructure, it offers abundant economic opportunities – an ideal permanent base for those in the farming industry and associated or other businesses.
