The most expensive property to ever come on the

Described as ‘The Great Gatsby-esque’, it is
situated in Camps Bay, Cape Town, known as ‘Enigma Mansion’. It is home to
seven bedrooms and bathrooms, Persian carpets in every room, a luxury Olympic
sized swimming pool, an elevator, as well as a six car garage.
The property is also characterised with over US$5million
worth of imported handmade door handles, hinges, chandeliers and lamps. Additionally,
the wallpaper is said to be velvety, which was imported into the property as it
was hand printed at Zuber, Paris. It also offers sea views.
The property is presently being marketed on an
exclusive mandate by John Phillips, a Harcourts South Africa sales consultant.
With 30 years’ worth of experience of real estate, Phillips claim to have never
