LOOK: Houghton's Gatsby up for grabs at a cool R65m
Originally intended to serve as a private hotel for royalty, the 4000m2 Gatsby (as it's called), is up for grabs at a cool R65m.
Based in Johannesburg's Houghton Ridge, the mansion's four levels include eight en-suite bedrooms, six parking spaces, a private night club, wellness spa, library, gymnasium and conference facilities, as well as a heated indoor swimming pool and outdoor training pool. The price tag also includes luxurious furnishings and rare artworks.
Barrie Swart, head of Gumtree Property Operations, says that it’s not the first time luxurious properties like these have been listed. “Covid-19 has impacted uber-wealthy homeowners as well - many are unable to travel to their luxury homes around the world during the current climate, and others are concerned about the volatility of the market.”
He is not concerned about the Gatsby being listed too long, though. “It may not seem like it to us, but the Gatsby is a real bargain at this price and will definitely be swept up soon.”
