Cape St Francis, the village

The tranquil village of Cape St Francis is situated 100km west of Port Elizabeth, in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is positioned along the eastern gateway to the well known Garden Route.

​

Cape St Francis is known for its prominent lighthouse built in 1878 and is further characterised by its extensive green belts and walking trails, its untouched beach and long rocky coastline.

​

Popular with surfers, anglers and hiking trail lovers, it has become a destination of choice for those seeking interaction with nature and the ocean in a quaint village setting.

The Cape St Francis Property Market

The property market in Cape St Francis is unique in comparison to that of other coastal towns in the vicinity in that the supply of property is limited. No expansion is planned for Cape St Francis as open areas are dedicated to nature areas.

From the mid 2000’s the village experienced a change in affordability, prime properties were redeveloped and property values soared. The once so quaint fishing shacks and bungalows made way for modern and luxuriously designed homes. The limited expansion of the village is unique and provides distinct advantages for long-term investors.

​

Buying a property in Cape St Francis is driven by a conscious decision to enter a market which is governed by scarcity. Properties bordering the nature areas, rocky coastline, and those which are close to our well-known swimming beach, are limited in their availability.

​

Finding a suitable property takes time and patience, but the reward is well worth it. Just ask any Cape St Francis property owner and they will all tell you that they should have bought long ago and acquired more of it!
