The exclusive neighbourhood of Constantia is set in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, where the rolling winelands meet suburbia. Home to an affluent community, this suburb is known for its beautifully appointed mansions and sophisticated residences. Property for sale in Constantia is comprised of typically large plots with houses offering up to 5 bedrooms and expansive gardens, making it an ideal option for raising a family away from the tall buildings of the city. 

The area’s name is derived from Groot Constantia farm which was nestled in the verdant valley behind Table Mountain, belonging to Simon van der Stel in the 1700s. Cape Dutch style architecture is prevalent, with many homes boasting a heritage of over 100 years. Constantia homes for sale are considered a great investment as they retain consistent value and favour due to their accessibility to a host of esteemed schools, the M3 highway and Cape Town’s oldest wineland region. Furthermore, the appeal of Constantia property is recognised in the fact that it borders Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the upmarket suburb of Bishopscourt.
