Property TransactionsCirca 1697 Witteboomen was sold by Jan Coenraad Visser to Simon van der Stel, and is incorporated into Constantia.2
In 1712 following the death of Simon van der Stel, Constantia was subdivided into three properties known as Bergvliet, Groot Constantia and Klein Constantia. At the same time Witteboomen reverted to its former, separate state.
