Not many of us have a cool R157 million to drop on a new pad, but one wealthy South African has done just that.
Breaking records for the most expensive residential property sold in Mzansi this year, the stunning family home located in Clifton was originally listed at a breathtaking R160 million.
Having managed to knock 3 mil off the asking price, the new owner can enjoy all this remarkable property has to offer, while boasting one of the most exclusive addresses in Africa.
This palatial pad is one of several multimillion rand homes situated on the 'millionaires row' of Nettleton Drive.

So, besides the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic Twelve Apostles, what else do you get for your buck?
Well, of course, there's a gym, a pool, a cinema, and for those days when you're simply too exhausted to walk from one floor of the house to another, there's an in-house elevator.
Staff have their own living quarters and a separate entrance. Oh, and there's ample parking for your fleet of Lambos, too!
And when it comes to putting your head down, you have five en-suite bedrooms to choose from, all with stunning views and each with its own balcony.
Home sweet home!
