The areas of Scottburgh and Pennington present property for sale along South Africa’s idyllic East Coast in KwaZulu-Natal. Whether looking at properties to rent or an opportunity for real estate investment, these resort towns are highly sought after destinations. Many choose to live in Scottburgh or Pennington and commute to Durban via the N2 for work, while others choose these relaxed towns as holiday spots for their coastal charm and tight communities.

Scottburgh sits on the mouth of the Mpambanyoni River and, in 1860, became the first established town south of Durban. Over 150 years later Scottburgh is thriving on South Africa’s ‘Golf Coast ,’ where a life of leisure is what prospective individuals look for from property for sale or rent. The coast features sandy beaches, beautiful lagoons and many rivers where surf, sun and sailing are common activities. Three golf courses, ranging from premium to affordable membership, sport the region presenting enough to turn a leisure golfer into a professional one.

Pennington properties are known for their coastal forest aesthetic and the area’s woodland setting make it prime real estate for sale or rent to nature lovers. Birdwatching, trail hikes and camping are all on the doorstep of Pennington properties. Those same trees may hinder a few golfers, who have two immediate courses to choose from, but the greens are of such high-quality that Mother Nature can be forgiven. Surrounded by unspoilt nature reserves, Pennington marks the bridge between sprawling inland forestry and long sandy beaches.

Scottburgh and Pennington may only be 20 minutes apart, but these two holiday towns each have a unique real estate identity. One great thing they share in common is highly sought after property for sale or rent catering to a luxurious and leisurely coastal lifestyle.
