Calvinia - South Africa - Karoo Property
The town of Calvinia is situated in the southern part of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Established in 1851 Calvinia is named after the religious reformer John Calvin. It is the business centre of the Hantam Municipal District which is one of the largest sheep farming areas in the country. This piqturesque town is surrounded by beautiful mountains, the most famous being the Hantam range which is caracterized by it's thick dolerite topping. This mountain is further known for its unique colour, ranging from the deepest blue during the day and different shades of pink at dusk.
Calvinia, where crime is still not part of your daily experience and peak traffic does'nt exist, is the ideal place for peace and tranquillity. Well known for its friendly village atmosphere, it has excellent doctors, schools and amenities, making it the ideal place for young families as well as retirement. An ‘antique' value is attached to the numerous old houses in Calvinia – after all, one cannot build an old house. These homes then become more and more sought after and lead the rising property prices paid because of this additional value.
Every Spring the abundance of the wild flowers astonishes each and everyone. The unique experience of watching the different kinds of flowers and bulbs explode into beautiful colours is one of its kind and surely not be missed.
Calvinia Hantam is one of the few regions where the Hoodia plant (a well-known dietary supplement) can be found.
South African property in Calvinia is highly sought after.
