PICS: Clifton villa sold for R120m

Cape Town - A house in Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard suburb of Clifton has been sold for R120m.

The property is situated on the slopes of Lion’s Head in Nettleton Road, which is regarded as one of the most expensive residential streets in South Africa. The deal was concluded by Dogon Group Properties and the buyer is South African.

According to Denise Dogon, CEO of Dogon Group, the house has seven levels and six bedrooms. It was designed by award-winning architect Stefan Antoni.

Features include a private cinema, a wine cellar, an office, a gymnasium, a massage room, a steam room, a library, a floating bar, staff accommodation and an infinity pool.

Fin24 reported in January that this villa managed to obtain in the region of R120 000 to R150 000 a night during the the last summer holiday season, according to Keegan Lewis, CEO of LVCT Group, a luxury property marketing and management company, which specialises in luxury villa rentals.

According to Dogon, Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, southern suburbs and the V&A Waterfront have experienced an increase in sales compared to the same winter months last year.

“Cape Town is experiencing local demand, and the influx of people from other provinces is bolstering the market,” she added.

These factors are also driving the rental market in Cape Town, in her view. Dogon Group Properties recently concluded a lease contract for an estate in Constantia for R450 000 per month and for a house in Bantry Bay for R220 000 per month.

“I am optimistic that the Cape Town property market will remain buoyant throughout 2018 despite the economic and political instability. Cape Town will continue to grow as a result of continued large scale migration to the city from other metros,” said Dogon.
