Wild Side of Cape St Francis

This area is in the vicinity of the rocky coastline of Cape St Francis where the vast expanse of sea breaks on to the magnificent rock formations which extend for hundreds of km along the coast. Some of the oldest houses at CSF, fisherman-type cottages, are along here.

This is a sought after area where generally property for sale is in short supply. Average property size here is about 750 m². The weather conditions are harsher here than elsewhere in Cape St Francis but those who live in this area say that is why they love it! The wind is blustery, the sea dramatic and the views spectacular.

Central Cape St Francis

The area within close walking distance of the shops and main swimming beach. Along with the Wild Side, this area was the first area settled by those pioneers to Cape St Francis and includes some of the oldest properties and unique architecture that one will see in the area.

In terms of property values, this is a sought after area and these values increase accordingly as the proximity to and views of the main beach area improve. The Cape St Francis beach is probably one of the most magnificent along the Eastern Cape coast. The surfing point, known as “Seals”, was featured in the famous Endless Summer movie.

This area includes the coveted stretch of Seal Point Boulevard where the properties all have immediate access to the swimming beach and surfing point. Properties for sale in this area are in very short supply as their value makes sure they stay “in the family”. The average size in this area are 900 m².

New Cape St Francis

This extends from the caravan park right up the nature reserve which separates CSF from St Francis Bay. Properties for sale are in greater supply here. Many of the properties have stunning sea views of the CSF Bay made possible by the elevation of this area. They also have close proximity to the nature reserve on the western and northern sides which make for a very quiet country-like atmosphere.

The average size of a stand here is 700 m² and even stands at the back up against the reserve are no more than seven minutes walking to the beach. Access to the beach is through the many areas of public open space which form buffer zones between sections of front properties and herein lies the magic of Cape St Francis – there is no continuous line of front propertiesbut more a ‘sprinkling’ of them … a factor which reduced the built-up/developed appearance of Cape St Francis. It has also kept to a minimum, the interference of front properties on the dynamics of the sand-dune system.
