Global property group, Knight Frank has featured its ‘holiday home of the week’ – a 13th Century three-bedroom farmhouse overlooking Lake Como in Italy.<\/p>\n

The farmhouse in Lenno, Como, Lombardia has seen its price reduced to \u20ac790,000 – approximately R12.5 million. With Knight Frank<\/a> also having offices in South Africa, BusinessTech looked at what R12.5 million buys you in the most prestigious region of the country – the Atlantic Seaboard.<\/p>\n

R12.75 million gets you a four bedroom townhouse in Bantry Bay, with ocean views, and 397m\u00b2 living space.<\/p>\n

“It is one of only two townhouses and features four bedrooms, four bathrooms (all en-suite), a guest cloak and a study. Upstairs is an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen with balcony and stunning views. Downstairs is a large entertainment area with bar leading onto an outside deck with a pool & built-in barbeque. Double garage with direct access,” Knight Frank said.<\/p>\n

“Located close to amenities, this is the perfect property for a sophisticated, lock-up-and-go lifestyle.”<\/p>\n

By comparison, the farmhouse in Italy was originally part of a 13th century convent and was recently converted\u00a0 – with lake views from all rooms.<\/p>\n

The house measures 180m\u00b2 of living space and is set over three floors.<\/p>\n

“The spacious dining room with vaulted stone ceiling and the fully equipped kitchen are located at the ground floor, overlooking the wide 60m\u00b2 terrace with barbecue and large Jacuzzi.<\/p>\n

“There are three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a cellar.<\/p>\n

“There is a two room annexe with bathroom and terrace that could be purchased on request, completely furnished for \u20ac240,000,” Knight Frank said.<\/p>\n
