The best place for the end of the world seems to be in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town.
Particularly at this massive, six-level off-the-grid mansion on Poussion Street, Loevenstein. Stands high above Cape Town and anything that might wipe it out, the not-so-humble home comes with a licensed shooting range, an aviary, garage parking for eight cars and a full bunker and security room on the underground levels.
Bombs? Floods? Fires? No fear at this fortress that is completely off the grid, with solar panels, lithium batteries and water tanks to keep you going while the rest of humanity dwindles.
Along with the “only licensed residential shooting range in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town,” the uppermost underground level holds a cinema room, a glass-covered fitness area, a boardroom and a games and entertainment area, according to the R42 million listing on RE/MAX.
That means you can prep for doomsday and be fully entertained and taken care of when it does finally arrive. All in complete and utter luxury, per Mansion Global:
“The views are like none other,” said listing agent Duvan Botha, of Re/Max of Southern Africa. “You see all of Cape Town.”
The whole house, which is less than three years old, is covered in Italian travertine tile, and “the finishes are absolutely the best,” he said. “Everything is imported, everything is top shelf.”
The ground floor holds multiple open-plan living areas, two bedrooms, a wraparound balcony with open city views and a kitchen with a floor-to-ceiling mosaic tile backsplash, separate scullery and pantry areas and a breakfast corner.
The floor above has two lounges and three bedrooms, including the primary suite, which has a living area, closets, a fireplace and a wraparound balcony, with stairs leading up to the roof.
In a nutshell, this 1,894-square-metre (20,387-square-foot) house has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and six partial bathrooms. All the amenities include a swimming pool with two covered shade areas, a licensed shooting range, an aviary, garage parking for eight cars, a full bunker and security room, an elevator, two fireplaces, a cinema room, a glass-covered gym, skylights, under-floor heating, multiple wraparound balconies and a games and entertainment area.
One of the top selling points for international buyers is the home’s easy access to the airport, which is just 15 minutes away, according to Botha. AKA, you can escape pretty quickly if push comes to shove.
Take a virtual tour of this survivalist’s wet dream.
