South Africa's North West Province is steeped in traditional history and culture, and has some of the finest game reserves in the country. Although primarily a farming region, producing sunflower and much of South Africa's maize, the North-West province is rich in mineral wealth such as gold and platinum, and plays a vital role in boosting the national economy.
The Pilanesberg National Park is set in the crater of an extinct volcano and lies adjacent to the famous Sun City leisure resort and The Palace of the Lost City which offers a host of leisure activities. Southeast of the Pilanesberg lies the Magaliesberg range which stretches for more than 120km. Close to Gauteng and nestled at the foot of this range is the Hartbeespoort Dam Nature Reserve, a popular destination for Gauteng city dwellers. Popular residential towns are Hartebeespoort, Rustenburg and Potchefstroom.
North-West property would be a wise investment. Since the North West Province has had a booming real estate market in the last couple of years, it has in the last decade attracted a lot of local and international investors. North West houses for sale, to buy or rent are an attractive option since this province is ideally located next to South Africa's economic capital, Gauteng, and borders on Botswana. As a lucrative gateway, the North West real estate market has proved well worth the investment.
