With its sub-tropical climate, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) is known as South Africa’s playground. Houses for sale in KwaZulu-Natal are sought after due to its diverse landscape, cultural and historical influences. Farms, hospitality estates, golf estates, apartments, security estates, cluster homes and retirement villages – you choose the way you want to live.
Finding properties for sale in Umhlanga Rocks, along the North and South Coast in particular, is a popular choice for those who want to make the most of the outdoors and the warm Indian Ocean. The little village of Ballito offers quiet and relaxed accommodation while further down the coast; Port Shepstone and Margate draw visitors with their long stretches of beach and indigenous coastal forests. But it’s not all about the beach here. You can choose country-style living in the Midlands or a more commercial atmosphere in the ever-growing city of Pietermaritzburg. For working professionals, the city of Durban is the ideal place to find a cosy apartment while those looking for a peaceful retirement or rustic living tend to prefer the exquisite beauty of the Drakensberg. Find the ideal property for sale in KwaZulu-Natal in the area of your choice.
“Rough and ready, smart and sophisticated, rural and rustic, KwaZulu-Natal is as eclectic as its cultures, people and landscapes.”
