For R35 Million You Can Buy A Pretty Sweet Penthouse At Melrose Arch

Money talks, and if you happen to have a whole bunch tucked away you could snap up this property. So, is it worth the lofty price tag?

We know that you can land some pretty impressive property in and around Cape Town for R35 million (small change), but what does a similar price tag get you if you’re keen on snapping up a penthouse in a prime retail area like Melrose Arch?

I’m pretty underwhelmed, to be honest, although you do get four bedrooms and some other lekker perks.

Here’s BusinessTech with more on the property that was just listed for the lofty price tag:

[There’s] a massive rooftop entertaining area and other luxuries one would expect from a millionaire lifestyle.

The apartment has its own private elevator access, which takes its residents right down to the heart of the open-air retail district, which features luxury shops, pavement cafes and fine dining.

Other features of the property include a sauna, double volume living areas, fully fitted cinema equipment, and a braai room and a sun deck.

Maybe it’s just the pictures that don’t really do it justice?

It’s nice, sure, but I remain underwhelmed.

It doesn’t even have a view of the mountain…
