Why invest in Hartbeespoort Dam?

If you are looking to live, play and invest in a beautiful, leisure-lifestyle area, Hartbeespoort Dam has to be on the top of your list.

Hartbeespoort Dam (also known as “Harties”) lies in a valley between some of the oldest mountain ranges of the world, the Magaliesberg and the Witwatersberg, with the World Heritage Site of “The Cradle of Humankind” situated along the southern periphery.

Hartbeespoort Dam – “Close to the City, Out of this world.”

The dam, with its spectacular scenery and unique villages and estates surrounding it, enjoys peaceful tranquillity and a picturesque countryside setting, yet is conveniently within close proximity to all modern day amenities and facilities. 

The area is steeped in history, especially from the Anglo-Boer war, and historical tours are popular amongst local as well as international visitors. Hartbeespoort is also on the doorstep of the “Platinum Mile”, where over 80% of the world’s Platinum is mined, which together with agriculture and tourism provides the economic mainstay of the region. 

Leisure and tourism activities are complimented by 4 renowned golf courses, a limitless variety of hiking and biking trails, as well as water sports such as boating, sailing, jet-skiing, bass-fishing and water-skiing.

For the more adventurous there is also paragliding, micro-lighting, and hot-air ballooning on offer as well. There is also an abundance of wildlife sanctuaries in the area, and the Pilanesberg Game Reserve which offers “the big 5”, as well as the Sun City Casino, Golf and Pleasure Resort, are also easily accessible from “Harties”, being less than an hour’s drive away. 

There has been a noticeable increase in activity in the property market in the Hartbeespoort Dam area over the last 6 months, which is confirming the value of investing in a unique destination suitable for both permanent living as well as leisure accommodation.
