Are you looking to enjoy the benefits of country living, but want to stay close enough to the city for business? Look no further than the rural Midrand suburb of Crowthorne. Our estate agents praise the large plots and farm-styled houses for sale in an area that is, ironically, promising more development than most of the suburban neighbourhoods nearby. Dirt roads, expansive fields of beautiful flora and an indescribably fresh morning smell all add to the area’s ‘plaashuis’ charm. Top class horse breeding societies, exotic nurseries and agricultural activities are not uncommon and all this is less than an hour from Johannesburg’s Central Business District.

Houses for sale in Crowthorne exude the country lifestyle but our estate agents can assure you pursuit of professional goals is bolstered by easy access to major central business districts. Of all the developments that have boomed in the Midrand area, Crowthorne boasts some serious advantages, which include convenient access to major shopping centres, golf courses, nightlife highlights and nature reserves. Houses for sale in Crowthorne come in many shapes and sizes but one truth ties it all together – this is an idyllic area enamouring its residents and visitors alike.
