The Midvaal: Where old and new worlds merge
Category Property News
The Midvaal is nestled between Johannesburg and East Rand, and although it is located between Gauteng’s business hubs, the area is synonymous with country-side living. Such living is defined by continuously flowing hill tops, beautiful and rich farmlands and villages, and towering mountains that all co-exist in harmony without the disruption of large urban populations. However, although the area has maintained its innocent persona of natural beauty, it has also transformed with the economic environment and as it stands, maintains an admirable equilibrium between new and old worlds.
The bread basket of Gauteng
The roads of Midvaal are lined with farmlands that harvest maize and dairy for most of Gauteng and this has earned the town with the title of, Breadbasket of Gauteng. Surrounding the Midvaal are the villages of Walkerville and Henley-on-Klip that make up the most rural part of Gauteng.
