Walkerville: Smallholdings, Houses and Plots for Sale

Walkerville is a semi-rural settlement south of Johannesburg in the Midvaal area, where agricultural holdings, equestrian properties and small farms mix with newer housing. Residents typically drive to work on the N1 or the R82 corridor, so commuting is by road. For a sense of the wider metro, Johannesburg, Soweto and Alberton lie to the north, while Germiston, Roodepoort and Randfontein are on the other side of the metro and make useful comparisons rather than neighbours.

With no coordinates on file for some listings, check the map pin and the municipality before you compare prices.

Agricultural holdings come with their own issues:

• Is the property zoned agricultural, residential or mixed? Rezoning can be slow.
• Water: borehole, municipal supply or both? Ask for borehole yield and a water test.
• Electricity and security: many buyers add solar and perimeter protection.
• Rates and levies: these are set by the local municipality and can differ widely.

Foreigners can buy in South Africa, but transfer goes through a conveyancing attorney and money moves under exchange-control rules. Read our South Africa buying guide, or look at the mortgage calculator if you intend to finance. Budget buyers can also try the under €100k listings.
