A look at the house in Cape Town with a R1 million monthly bond repayment, and R62,000 rates

A luxury home in the Fresnaye suburb of Cape Town has come onto the market, with a price tag of R150 million.

That would make a nice holiday/weekend break home.

Shall submit my offer.

 

[WollieVerstege]

Wonder what SweepSouth will charge me to clean that?

Wonder what SweepSouth will charge me to clean that?

Probably my entire pension

 

[TechGirl04]

People with that kind of money likely won't need a bond. Those rates and taxes though - ouch...

 

[ToxicBunny]

In all honesty, the house just lacks "personality" for me.

Nice location, and some nice bits and pieces in the house but overall, just feels horribly sterile.

I'd take an old Cape Dutch style house a thousand times over something like this.

It's done very neatly, but as you said - lacks a 'soul' for lack of a better word.

Doesn't Cyril also live in Fresnaye?

I'd take a merger of Cape Dutch and the modern to be honest.. but it needs that "soul" to be attractive... also I'm slightly over the idea of a large home. Pain in the rear end to maintain.

The dude who built that has defaulted on $100m of the debt to build it, so its very likely to go under the hammer for WAY less than he thinks its worth.

Finally a house without all that clutter designers seem to love

 

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Does it have a private rub and tug?

 

[Geoff.D]

The only things that matter are:

1. Does the roof leak?
2. Do the toilets work?
3. Is the house free of service delivery issues?

The rest is just rubbish.

 

[Alton Turner Blackwood]

Yeah, but does it have solar?

Rich people don't pay tax.

"According to property group Seeff, the luxury end of the market is seeing an uptick in activity, with foreign investors seeking opportunities to store looted money in property's in desirable locations around the world"

I'm guessing if you're rich enough to pay R150 000 000 for a house, R62 000 a month is small change for rates.

Did the designer hate henry ford or something?

 

[backstreetboy]

No thanks I've seen more stylish container homes.

Yeah, but does it have solar?

The property includes a gym, wine cellar, separate flatlet, backup generator and parking for eight cars.

Pay a milli a month just to hear a generator.
