The most expensive property ever on the South African market



The most expensive property to ever come on the South African market has been valued for over US$35million.

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 viewed such exquisite fittings and furnishings. The art works and statues are all originals; with one statue dated from 1860, all the way from Rome.


Hollywood film makers have also used the property as a set for movies.

The property covers 7000 square metres of land, approximately four times the normal size for Camps Bay. The elite team of property specialists at Harcourts Luxury Property Selection are confident in finding the ideal buyer for the property.

The property provides an IT system, which alone is valuable at over US$1.5million. It allows iPad controlled temperature control, plus a media room fully equipped with Apple appliances.

There is also a dance floor, gym, sauna, massage room, library, as well as a two storey guest house equipped with two bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as two garages.

Enigma Mansion is situated in one of the best areas of Cape Town as it is nearby eateries, wine bars on the ocean front and is 15 minutes away from the Cape Town International Airport.

It currently owned by an inhabitant of Europe, therefore the property can be rented for entertainment at US$10,000 per night.
