Koringberg at a glance
The Swartland hamlet of Koringberg is only 110km from Cape Town, just an hour's drive on the N7, between Malmesbury and Picketberg. Yet, short as the distance is, the difference in lifestyle is generational! There is almost a time warp back to the 1900's with its distinctive Victorian style of architecture and slow, reclusive pace of life. The charm of the village lies in an absence, a void, in what it does not have. What is not there is more important and attractive to the inhabitants than what is there. No traffic, no noise, no shopping malls, no stress! The hamlet boasts an impressive church, a Post Office situated in a double storey building next to the Market Square and just some 65 houses owned by successful attorneys, architects, artists and others who have purposefully sought out genuine simplicity of lifestyle and creative breathing space.
Endless wheatfields, golden in summer and sumptuously green in winter, stretch to the horizon, their flatness relieved only by the occasional tree, farmhouse or modest mountain, the largest of which is the Koringberg. Popular as a hiking and mountain bike trail which offers challenging tracks and trails for cycling enthusiasts, the Koringberg Mountain is the venue for an annual Mountain Bike Fun Race. Warm Koringberg hospitality is displayed at this event with a wide variety of home-baked, traditional food on offer to visitors and participants.
There's a distinctive flair about properties in Koringberg. The mouldings and architectural features of many of the houses are dramatically accentuated by the use of brilliant wall colours. Korinberg is quiet and secluded yet it is also full of olde worlde character and vibrantly colourful, boldly splashing its flamboyant palette onto the restrained wheatfield landscape.
The nostalgic rumble of a daily train is the only sound that breaks the stillness and the silence so dear to all property owners in Korinberg.
So why not shift down a gear, move out of the fast lane and explore the properties for sale in the retro country lanes of Korinberg?
