The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest and most sparsely populated province. It has some high-lying areas in the Roggeveld and Nuweveld districts, while the west coast is dominated by the Namaqualand region, famous for its spring flowers.
The north is primarily Kalahari Desert, characterised by parallel red sand dunes and acacia tree dry savannah. The province is mostly arid to semi-arid and periodically plagued by drought. Most famous for the diamond mines around Kimberley, the Northern Cape Province also has a substantial agricultural area around the Orange River, including most of South Africa's sultana vineyards. Popular tourist sites include the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park and the Augrabies Falls. Popular towns are: Kimberley, Alexander Bay, De Aar, Colesburg, Upington and Kuruman.
Northern Cape property costs are relatively low; this is due to the fact that the Northern Cape exists predominately of rural areas compared to the other more urbanised provinces in South Africa. Therefore, Northern Cape houses for sale, to buy or rent can be seen as a stable investment especially for first-time buyers who would like to invest in Northern Cape real estate. The Northern Cape is the perfect province to settle if you feel the need to escape the rushed lifestyle most lead today. It is the perfect place to start a fresh relaxing lifestyle.
