So you’re doing quite well for yourself, aren’t you señor / señorita ‘I have five million to spend on a crib’. Congrats, but be aware that those riches are best spent with a good look around at what’s on offer first.

Now we know that the Atlantic Seaboard sports some of the more sought after property in Cape Town, but what exactly can one get their paws on for under R5 million these days? Let’s take a look at some of our favourites and maybe we can nudge you in the right direction..

We’ll start with the lower priced spots and build towards the big spenders, maybe spurring you on to buckle down and put in the real hard graft.

One Bedroom Apartment in Sea Point – R2,415 million

Views for days, guys – I’m sure you enjoy taking a squizz right onto the ocean. The apartment features a spacious layout begging to be totally open-planned and also features sea-views from the lounge. The first visage you will have every morning as you leave the apartment is of Lions Head. Shame. Positioned across the road from the beach, the Promenade and Sea Point swimming pool await, with a short 5 minute commute to any beach front restaurant and the V&A Waterfront.

If you like convenience and class rolled into one then say hello to our little friend, located right on the trendy Green Point Mile. The V&A Waterfront, Green Point stadium and Sea Point promenade are only a couple of minutes away, with bus access across the road it really doesn’t get easier. Hudson’s, vida e Caffe, a Woolies Food Market for when you can’t be bothered to cook, that’s most of the essentials sorted then.

Did we mention the pool deck?

Three Bedroom Duplex in Sea Point – R5,290 million

OK so strictly speaking you’re looking at a touch over five bar but that’s before you take your stellar negotiating skills into consideration. Steely eyes, let them do the talking, project power and we’re sure you can wangle this baby under the magical mark.

What you’re looking at here is the multi-level residence with the feel of a home but the convenience of an apartment. The first level has an open plan kitchen, entertainment area flowing to patio with plunge pool and a bathroom with bonus of separate laundry area.

The second level has three bedrooms (main is en suite), one full bathroom and a lounge leading onto a large balcony with beautiful views. The duplex is tucked away on a quiet road and is walking distance from all the trendy restaurants and cafes that have made Sea Point such a favourite.

 

So there you have it – your TOP 5 UNDER 5 BAR!

Inspired? Of course you are, so here’s hoping we might have shown you something that piques your interest. I suppose if you’re only a couple of million short maybe this is one of those ‘kick up the backside’ moments that sets the wheels in motion.

We can dream.
