“Some of the homes in the area have a history attached that dates as far back as 1850, and many properties are smallholdings offering large erfs,” says Wilson.
“While the current property market or movement in this area is slower than in the more popular central Hillcrest, Assagay, Waterfall and Kloof areas, it has huge potential for future development.
Dave Jones, Regional Manager of Seeff KZN, is himself from Bothas Hill, and says there is positive development taking place here.
“Record build values for the area have been achieved in Stoneford Equestrian Estate, with three units each already exceeding a R15 million build value. In addition, the R1.1 billion warehouse investment by Mr Price in nearby Hammersdale will increase demand for accommodation in Bothas Hill,” says Jones.

“Buyers who want that 'country feel' and the beautiful surrounds of the Valley of 1 000 Hills and fresh air will definitely highlight Bothas Hill as an area of choice,” she says.
“Also, buyers who require use of the land for farming and the like whilst giving their families a lifestyle ‘far from the madding crowd’ settle here. Those who buy in the area are a mixture of retirees, professionals and those looking for farms or smallholdings.”
With a country-feel, amazing views, excellent facilities and a community vibe with popular eateries, Wilson says it is evident that Bothas Hill has something for everyone.
