Foreign buyers in South Africa's Luxury Real Estate Market

Cape Town’s ‘the Castle’, an imitation of Germany’s Lichtenstein Castle, a historic neo-Gothic fortress, houses a banquet hall lined with armour suits and stained windows, 12 bedrooms and a swimming pool. With views over the city's Hout Bay, there is a helipad and natural waterfall, accessible only by a private mountain road or helicopter.

‘The Castle’ is one of the most famous real estate landmarks of Cape Town, formerly a guest house and popular wedding reception venue.

However, it has now closed a deal during 2012, sold to a ‘high-profile’ Russian businessman for $2.2million.

This is just one piece of prime real estate acquired from the Cape Town market by a Russian. It has been claimed by local real estate agents that affluent Russian buyers have also purchased numerous other multi-million-dollar homes along the city's coast over the last several years, moving into the region's blend of sun, mountains and sea.

Global retailers look to South Africa

Recent research by CBRE has revealed global retailers as well as retail property investors are seizing advantage of South Africa's appeal as a competitive retail destination.

This is as it was reported that South Africa is presently ranked at 53 out of 61 countries in terms of international retailer presence - up 14% during 2013 – As reported by the director of research and marketing, Elaine Wilson at Broll Property Group, part of the CBRE affiliate network.

The increased ranking indicated growing interest from retailers around the world.

Johannesburg has the highest volume of global retailers and includes recent entrants such as City Chic, H&M, Lush and Lovisa.

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.
