Constantia & Bishopscourt
These are the most sought after residential addresses within Cape Town's lush, leafy Southern Suburbs. A wide variety of homes in various styles and price ranges are available.
Historically this was the valley favoured by the early Cape Governor, Simon van der Stel, whose meticulous attention to agronomy proved it indeed to be a bountiful land for the cultivation of grapes.
"Somehow it seems this valley and man were waiting for each other, for the land is ideal for vineyards, and man by nature is most contented when he lives close to the cultivation of grapes." (Royston Lamond's preface to the book "Silverhurst in the valley of Constantia.")
After 300 years of viticulture in the Cape. Constantia is known as "the valley of the vines"
Groot Constantia: the venerable old manor house built by Governor Simon van der Stel under whose guidance the Constantia valley was put under vine and fruit trees.
Cape Dutch Architecture: The delightful Cape Dutch Style of architecture that originated here with its thatch roofs and whitewashed walls dappled with the shadows of oaks is the inspiration of many an artist’s work.
Old Oak Avenues: that criss cross the valley lend a certain sense of permanence and mark out the old roadways and farm boundaries.
Fine Dining: includes French, Italian and Thai cuisine as well as the local offering of Cape cooking with cosy coffee bars and fascinating pubs.
Table Mountain: Despite the pressure of demand on the land, much of the area is set aside as open rural land with wonderful walks and horse riding trails in the forests and greenbelt as well as the invigorating mountain hikes along Table Mountain.
