Luxury Property Selection, the elite property brand owned and operated by Harcourts International real estate, has just listed the most expensive property ever to come on the market in South Africa for over US$35 million.
The Great Gatsby-esque property located in Camps Bay, Cape Town, is named ‘Enigma Mansion’ and features seven bedrooms and bathrooms, a six car garage, a glamorous Olympic sized swimming pool, an elevator, and Persian carpets in all rooms.
The property also features over US$5 million worth of imported handmade door handles, hinges, lamps and chandeliers. In addition, the ‘velvet feel’ wallpaper has been hand printed at Zuber in Paris and imported to the property. The property is currently being marketed on an exclusive mandate by Harcourts South Africa sales consultant, John Phillips.
Mr Phillips said, “In 30 years of real estate, I’ve never seen such exquisite furnishings and fittings. The works of art and statues are all originals; one extravagant statue is from 1860 and comes all the way from Rome. To say “it has to be seen to be believed” is really an understatement for this palace.”
“The property has been used by Hollywood film makers as a set for movies, which gives you an idea of the palatial quality of this mansion. Such luxury is difficult to describe as there is nothing to remotely compare it with. The sea views are just as incredible,” Mr Phillips said.
Aimee Williams, International Brand Manager for Harcourts International said, “This is one of the most opulent properties in South Africa; it is set on 7000 square metres of land, which is about four times the normal size for Camps Bay. We have no doubt the team of elite property specialists at Harcourts Luxury Property Selection will be able to find the perfect buyer to appreciate this stunning property.”
The IT system alone is worth over US$1.5 million and allows for Ipad controlled air conditioning and heating, and a media room fully equipped with Apple appliances.
Other features include a massage room, sauna, plush library, a gym, dance floor, and two story guest house with two bedrooms and bathrooms, and two garages.
Enigma Mansion is located in one of the best areas in Cape Town and is close to restaurants, wine bars on the ocean front and only 15 minutes from the Cape Town International Airport.
With the owner currently residing in Europe, the property can be rented for entertaining at US$10,000 per night.
