Residents are required to have their properties clearly sign posted. Please put Lot & House numbers on your gates for easy identification of your property in an emergency.
The beginning of Monteseel
At the entrance to Monteseel are two rooms of a stone building. At some stage it seems this was the surgery of the local doctor.
Elsje De Kock seems to be one of the earliest owners of Monteseel and probably farmed wattle. Wattle was farmed in the area as early as 1870.
Dr Angus Seele bought the land from her on 25th April 1951.
The first survey of Monteseel was done in 1949 and the township of Monteseel was registered on the 14th May 1951.
Nowadays Monteseel is famous for its rock climbing and the first routes were climbed in the 1940’s.
