Sedgefield at a glance
Sedgefield property: A profile of Sedgefield property from a prospective buyer’s perspective, with information on facilities and attractions.
Sedgefield Property
Originally a Garden Route beachside retirement village away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the population of Sedgefield has enjoyed a recent increase of young couples and families interested in the town’s gorgeous houses and flats. This new, young population has seen a rise in activities in the area, from kitesurfing and canoeing on the gorgeous Myoli beach, to hiking and abseiling around the Goukamma Nature Reserve.
Flanked by massive dunes and gorgeous mountains, Sedgefield is known to many for its concrete horses, a tourist attraction that many travelling along the N2 stop to catch a glimpse of.
Sedgefield and its residents pride themselves on the quiet and easy lifestyle that the town exudes, with the town’s motto echoing this feeling: “Sedgefield, where the Tortoise sets the Pace”.
Property developers can choose from large acreages situated on Sedgefield’s spectacular beach, beautiful tracts of land in surrounding farmland, and along the surrounding mountains, which offer stunning views of the sea, lagoon and the mountains themselves. Top-end buyers will certainly be drawn to lavish family homes situated around Myoli Beach and Cola Beach, where an air of timeless romance is tangible.
Affordable and established family-suited houses as well as modern apartments are safely situated in gated communities, providing a secure and cost-effective option to entry level buyers, while empty plots of land close to the town and beaches are regularly on the market.
