You’re going to have to win an overseas lottery if you want to buy a house with a price tag that’s ticked past the R100 million mark.
Even if you won both the PowerBall and the Lotto this week, you’d end up with a maximum of R75 million.
Not bad, and I could certainly stretch that out for the rest of my days, but not enough to land you the most expensive Constantia property currently listed on Property24.
It’s been a while since we dabbled in a ‘We Want’ flight of fancy, so we’re going big.
The listing calls this property “a modernist’s dream nestled beneath Table Mountain National Park” that was designed by Cape Town architect, Jon Jacobson.
Every room has expansive walls of glass, bringing the exquisite surrounds of the outside in. This property has been transformed into a collection of sculptural forms and is intended to be part of nature.
This 5 bedroom, 5 en-suite bathrooms, has a 1600sqm footprint.
The steep site was terraced and connected via a central stair element that extends both ends into the landscape. The new wing addition has been clad in timber and is one with its natural surrounds.
This property has been used for several shoots, as well as for the UK series Love Island (2020) and the film Black Mirror, starring Miley Cyrus.
Ah yes, I thought it looked familiar.
One imagines it’s been given a proper deep clean post-Love Island.
The list of special features includes a large upstairs entertainment area and outside lap pool, a gym room with steam showers, excellent security, and smart-controlled aircon and heating.
More snaps:
I like it.
Do I like it enough to spend R105 million that I don’t have, though?
I guess you can’t put a price on telling anybody who will listen during your shopping trip to Constantia Village that you live in the Love Island home.
