Wellington, Western Cape

Wellington is a charm of a town for property investors. Being close to neighbouring towns like Paarl, Franschhoek, Tulbagh, and Stellenbosch, and a mere 45-minute drive to Cape Town, it is ideally positioned for those who want to enjoy the scenic outdoors and easy lifestyle that the countryside offers.

Given the prime location in the Winelands, surrounded by picturesque mountains, and breath-taking vineyards that hold rich soil for crop cultivation, you'll find a number of great investment opportunities in buying farmland. Wellington could yet be a popular escape from busy city life to a quiet retirement.

Wellington is, of course, known for its educational institutions. Student accommodation in close proximity to tertiary institutions is high in demand here. The Region is renowned for beautiful Cape Dutch homesteads. Wellington's agricultural economy is centered on its award-winning wines, deciduous fruit and fine brandy, and it is also home to South Africa's sole whisky producer.
