Small 283-year-old town in South Africa becoming a new semigration hotspot

A small South African town is emerging as a new hotspot for semigration, with urban buyers seeking alternatives to Cape Town's rising housing prices and municipal costs. The appeal lies in rural areas with reliable water supply, such as Klein Karoo, Montagu, and Swellendam, where farm properties are gaining popularity over traditional coastal homes. As coastal property prices and costs continue to rise, buyers are opting for self-sufficient farm life, driving a shift towards these rural semigration destinations.
