How to find the right luxury property for sale in South Africa

Click here to view our selection of properties for sale

 

The plethora of high-end homes available in South Africa is astounding. From coast to coast, some houses and apartments take the idea of “grand” to a whole new level. Investing in such a property for sale can be costly, especially if it is a place you plan to own for good. The search process is emotionally taxing and stressful, and the legal sign-off is just as demanding. At Fine & Country South Africa, our years of prestigious services in the real estate sector have afforded us in-depth knowledge of the local market, which we can extend to you. If you are seeking a property for sale that emphasises the lavish lifestyle of your dreams, allow us to help you.

 

Understanding where to look

 

Standard online sites that display property listings will show you average, suburban homes for sale and perhaps, here and there, a mansion or two. These listings, unfortunately, are a far cry from the houses and apartments you are truly seeking. When it comes to the luxury market, many properties go unlisted to protect the privacy of the seller. These homes will not be found in search engines, and you will need to rely on the insider knowledge of real estate agents who work with such sellers. While this may seem like a lot of trouble to go through for a property for sale, the rarer and more exclusive the home, the better an investment it is.

 

Location determines opulence

 

A palatial residence in the middle of an undeveloped, rural area may look impressive, but it will not afford you the lifestyle you want. It is far wiser to find a more affordable property for sale in an upscale neighbourhood. This way, you can expand and renovate with time, and still enjoy opulent living. The right location will boast extravagant homes, superior security in the area, and exclusive establishments that make living there desirable. Close proximity to places of fine dining, shopping, and families in a similar income bracket is what makes such a move worthwhile. When finding a new residence, it is important to keep in mind that an address is just as much a trophy as a home is.

 

Privacy is always non-negotiable

 

Part of what makes a high-end property for sale so sought-after is how inaccessible it is to everyone else. Discerning buyers seek out places that offer them exclusive privacy and a way of getting away from the rest of the world. Prime-located properties are those that offer unobstructed views of nature and a sense of “escape” from the bustle of modern living. No sounds of busy traffic filtering through the windows, no neighbours blasting loud music, and nobody peering into your home from the street. Privacy is such a hot commodity these days that the homes with long and winding driveways, and those set far apart from neighbouring residences, often sell for the most. It is possible, though, to find something within your financial plan that still maintains a degree of seclusion from the outside without losing out on modern amenities.

 

Trusting the experts to handle it all

 

Luxury homes are a monumental investment, and ensuring the process is done the right way is key. Whether you are a first-time buyer or have experience buying properties, a little assistance never hurts.
