Situated almost equidistant between Piketberg and Velddrif north of R399, Aurora (New Dawn) is a hidden gem of a village in the Sandveld region of the West Coast. The village was established in 1906 for the purpose of creating another NG Church to cater for the increase in congregants at the Piketberg ‘gemeenskap’. Aurora is a small village with a defined urban edge, bordered by farmland and the mountain reserve and as a result no further expansion is possible. The village is situated on the gentle slopes of what is known as the Soetgoedkop mountain, with a distant view of the Piketberg range in the north and east and views of farmland and the distant towns of Saldanha Bay, Hopefield, Velddrif and Vredenburg in the south and west. Sunsets are a sight to behold, with crisp unpolluted air and only the sounds of nature to enhance the senses. In spring the village is covered in a carpet of beautiful wild flowers. Aurora is home to a huge variety of birds; bokmakieries, fiscal shrikes, hoopoes, sunbirds, robin chats, siskins, buntings, sparrows, olive thrushes, swallows, francolin, bulbuls and the yellow billed kites, migrants from central east Africa. At night one can hear the gentle calls of the owls and nightjars. As soon as one crosses the Berg River north towards Aurora, the tension and stress of urban living is released and, although Cape Town is now less than a two-hour drive away along the much-improved N7, the desire to return to the Big City is very much diminished. Aurora has limited commercial activity and is not on a through route to any major towns; as a result, traffic is almost non-existent. Velddrif and Piketberg are pleasant options catering for most shopping needs, and Vredenburg, 15 minutes-drive from Velddrif, fulfils every requirement. Aurora is home to a diverse group of people, including practicing and retired professionals, writers, teachers, artists, jewelry makers and business people, many of whom work from home and are reliant on good internet. *ABOUT THE PLOT 1487 square meters situated at Number 6 Kortstraat, arguably one of the finest remaining vacant plots in Aurora. Uninterrupted forever views to the east, south and west with the attractive fynbos covered Soetgoedkoppie to the north as a backdrop to an area of outstanding natural beauty. The reassuring spire and clock of the iconic 120-year-old beautiful NG Kerk is clearly visible from the plot. The plot is fully fenced with a vehicular access gate, as well as a water connection and meter. It has a variety of trees and shrubs which have been planted in such a manner that leaves ample space for a house and garage to be built to take advantage of the wonderful views in all directions.
