Some say it’s a record, some say it’s just another example of the increasing prices of property in areas of the peninsula.

Either way, a new listing in Hout Bay has hit the R35 million mark.

But looking at the property, you can see why. Every aspect, from the grounds to the house itself is, as Business Tech says, “top class”.

Situated in Riverside Terrace, Hout Bay, the property is located on two acres (8,850 sqm) that include a river and, of course, mountain views.

Oh, and there’s a “body of Koi-filled water” which almost surrounds the home and flows into the house.

Yes, yes, there is more:

The property includes indigenous plants, a borehole, a Palm-fringed walking trail, and a boardwalk crossing the river.

There are seven bedrooms, six with en-suite bathrooms, including two main suites. There is also a two-bedroom apartment with a living room and kitchenette.

The main living areas on the lower level are open-plan and lead to the under-roof entertainment area with a lounge, dining room, wet bar, cocktail and indoor braai area that lead to the garden and swimming pool.

The house also includes a studio/gymnasium with an en-suite bathroom and private entrance, a two-bedroom staff suite, and a generator room.

If you think that sounds good, just wait till you see the pics:

Now that’s a house I could see myself living in.
