Ever wondered how your house could look if money were no object?
“If your creativity fails to stretch that far, allow us to treat you to a voyeuristic look into some of the most sought-after beach houses listed in Cape Town,” says RE/MAX Living’s Ari Voyiatzis.
1. A millionaire’s beachside bungalow for R39 million
What do you think a cool R39 million buys you? Walking access to one of the most iconic beaches in South Africa? How about an uninterrupted view of Lion’s Head?
If you guessed either of those, you’d have been correct. For the hopeless romantic who dreams of sipping cocktails in their private pool overlooking Clifton’s 4th Beach, this is the property you’ve been imagining since you were old enough to fantasise about property.
This two bedroom beachside bungalow takes on the feeling of an expensive yacht without any of the motion sickness that being on the high seas can induce. Step out onto its deck and enjoy the spectacular viewing point overlooking Lion’s Head at its bow. The nautical theme is continued when you step back inside with brass switches, marble tiles, Oak flooring and mood lighting. Living here is like being aboard a modern Titanic, only there is ample room for two people to keep warm and dry when storms come to pass.

“Properties like these offer great investment value. Owing to its location, the demand for a property like this will always exist. Its steep price tag can also be attributed to its idyllic location. For the aspiring property moguls who hope to one day own properties like this, consider investing in properties in desirable yet slightly more affordable suburbs first and then slowly climb your way up the property ladder from there,” Voyiatzis suggests.
Voyiatzis provides the following as an example of exactly this sort of investment property.
2. Ocean opulence par excellence for R8.25 million
Voted the top golf estate in the country by FNB, Sunset Links Golf Estate is a beachfront estate in Milnerton that offers true investment potential.
Situated within this estate is a luxurious four bedroom home with five unique living areas and private pool. Of course, as is only suitable for a five-star estate, two of the bedrooms are designed to resemble luxury hotel-style suites with their own en-suite bathrooms.
“Investors who purchase this property as a source of rental income will never be short of applicants, says Voyiatzis. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in a house that feels like a luxury hotel?”

Investing in a luxury property
As a final piece of advice, Voyiatzis encourages buyers not to allow the price tags of these properties to intimidate them.
“Luxury properties like these might seem unobtainable to most people, but buyers should never allow negativity to get in the way of achieving their dreams. It is possible, though not easy, to one day purchase a luxury property if that is your goal in life. All it takes is to find a gap in the market and, along with some careful financial planning and investing, you too could own your very own idyllic property next to a trendy shoreline,” he suggests.
