In today’s instalment of ‘let’s daydream about things that are well, well beyond our means’, we’ll be looking at a property in Hout Bay.

For those who have R85 million to spend, welcome to the party.

The six-bedroom house is located in the Ruyteplaats Private Mountain Estate, and boasts some incredible views of the Republic.

Coming in at 2 702 m², Property24 says that the “elegant graceful villa” has design elements “evolved around the natural flow of contemporary African living”.

Here’s more from that write-up with some images for good measure:

[The] open plan living spaces flow timelessly to outdoor entertainment areas, embracing the incredible far reaching views across the majestic mountains, valley and sea.

Not to be outdone by the charming natural setting, the house is designed around eco friendly ultra-modern concepts, couched in clean lines of glass and stone and wood.

The property’s contemporary-classic interior design, with walnut finishes and Italian tiles is truly a quintessential sensory experience. Set within the prestige’s Ruyteplaats Mountain Estate with its 24 hour security, the property’s position painted against this stunning backdrop of classic Cape vistas, sits a truly elegant family home.

Designed for both family living and entertainment, this spectacular home would suit the connoisseur who would enjoy all the benefits that this property has to offer.

OK, so far I am a big fan.

We continue our snoop around:

Marvellous.

Then again, given that Cape Town’s property prices have fallen into deflation recently, and especially with regards the luxury market, perhaps it’s worth waiting to see if the price drops.

R85 million is pretty steep – hell, it could buy you 68 parking spots in Clifton.
