Inside the ultra-modern R230 million Cape Town home development

 ·5 Jul 2024

Marion Taylor Properties is selling a 7-bedroom residence and an accompanying penthouse development in Clifton for R230 million.

Marion Taylor Property specialises in properties in exclusive Atlantic Seaboard suburbs like Clifton and Camps Bay.

The estate agency has maintained a significant market share in Camps Bay and is growing in the Atlantic Seaboard real estate market.

Their most expensive property is a seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom development in an exclusive area in Clifton.

Clifton is the most expensive neighbourhood in South Africa. Its median price was R25 million, peaking at R150 million in 2023.

The area is known for its exceptional views, world-class beaches, and good restaurants and bars.

It is a sought-after location to own property among the world’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals, who typically visit the area in summer.

Clifton has a reputation as a playground for the world’s rich and famous. Hollywood celebrities are often spotted in the restaurants and bars in the area.

It has around 300 private houses and 40 developments that have about 550 apartments. There is very little land available for additional developments.

Most of the properties are a short walk away from Clifton’s world-class beaches, shops, and restaurants.

The limited number of houses means there is always a shortage of supply, which keeps prices high.

Engel and Volkers Cape Town’s Paul Turner said between twelve and fifteen apartments in Clifton sell each year.

“Owners are generally reluctant to sell as they enjoy their time in Clifton, and if they don’t have a financial need to sell, they don’t,” he said.

“This also helps keep prices and values high as they will only consider selling at an attractive price.”

Marion Taylor is promoting a 7-bedroom residence and an accompanying penthouse development in Clifton for R230 million.

Taylor describes the villa and penthouse development in Clifton as the ultimate luxury living by global standards.

The property was designed by the internationally acclaimed architect SAOTA. “This masterpiece bears the hallmark of exceptional design,” she said.

She added that the 7-bedroom residence provides a sense of exclusivity, privacy, and serenity, enhanced by its views of the Camps Bay and Clifton beaches and surrounding mountains.

The off-plan development consists of two properties. “With completion set for 18 months, you still have the opportunity to personalise the layout and design to your liking,” she said.

People entering the villa will be greeted by an interior space of 635 square meters, a grand entrance with wood panelling, and a waterfall feature.

The open-plan living areas and spacious en-suite bedrooms on the first floor lead outside to a private garden, expansive entertainment patio, and oversized swimming pool.

Upstairs, the double-volume living spaces provide a blend of nature and architecture, with a large deck.

The second property, a penthouse with an interior space of 504 square meters, offers a double-volume space with an inverted glass butterfly roof.

It also offers a spacious terrace with an infinity pool and great views of Clifton, Camps Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

The 635 square meter villa has four en-suite bedrooms, and the 504 square meter penthouse has three en-suite bedrooms.

The development solves one of Clifton’s biggest drawbacks, parking, by offering eight garages to the buyer.
