The picture-perfect town of McGregor, on the Garden Route, Western Cape shares its name with the oldest Scottish clans. The town is imbued in mysticism as it appears directly on ley lines. This is a belief that prominent structures were erected by ancient civilizations and in the 20th-century believers hold on to this mysticism. The town is located in the Breede River Wine Valley which is a tourist attraction and artists find inspiration from the town and the pristine surroundings.
Aside from ley line believers, the town is a tranquil under-explored picture-perfect oasis. An aesthetics committee in the town oversees historical sites and in some way or manner have a say in making sure that the town retains its charm and character.
The town is on the radar with foreign investors that seek a tranquil lifestyle with a town that has a wholesome sense of family values. The wine valley is also a contributing factor that draws foreign property investors and people wishing to live in the countryside. The other factor that appeals to a change in lifestyle with the advent of Zoom, a communications platform that allows people of all walks of life and immigration families to seek refuge in the town.
Property for sale in the town range in age, value, and size. The major factor contributing to a steady rise in property value is the interest the property market has generated through all its attributes.
The lack of commercialization has created a market for farming and olives, wine grapes and the tourism industry contribute to the town being a self-sustaining town. There are no large retail malls but there are art studios, curio shops, and outdoor venues that attract outdoor explorers. Nature reserves off all types of activities from hikes to bird watching. The lack of pollution opens up the heavens thus exposing the visible cosmos as it was intended.
