Bishopscourt Property - Real Estate - Houses
Bishopscourt real estate represents some of the most valuable property not only in South Africa, but arguable the African continent. One of Cape Town's oldest suburbs, Bishopscourt was originally the site of Jan Van Riebeek's farm "Boscheuwel". The almond hedge, which he planted in 1660 to protect the cattle of the Cape Colonists, still stands in sections of Kirstenbosch, and can be seen opposite number 31 Klaassens Road.
Bishopscourt properties are sought after as residences by a substantial number of embassies and as diplomatic residences. Bishopscourt is named after the official residence of the Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town. Bishopscourt is also one of the few Cape Town property areas that is shielded from the South-Easter, making it a sought-after area in the Southern Suburbs.
Bishopscourt is a lush, green and leafy neighborhood and home to the world renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. International summer open air musical concerts are also held in the gardens between November and March. Bishopscourt boasts large grounds ranging with the minimum erf size being just under 4000m², situated on the back slopes of Table Mountain and boasting amazing views from Devils Peak to the Hottentots Mountain Range in the East. The area is also home to the prestigious "The Hill" pre-primary school, nestled next to the stone church and opposite Kirstenbosch.
Bishopscourt homes are all within walking distance to Kirstenbosch Gardens and the many trails up Table Mountain via Celia Forest and Newlands Forest. To the East, one is just 5 minutes drive from the exclusive Cavendish Shopping Centre which boasts up-market shops and wonderful eating outlets, together with movie theaters. A mere 20 minutes drive will get you to either the Indian Ocean in the East or the Atlantic Ocean in the West.
With the V&A Waterfront and the Atlantic Seaboard in the north, and Muizenberg in the south, Bishopscourt real estate has very easy road access to the M3 never leaving residents without options to explore the city.
