Five of The Most Expensive Homes in SA this week

South Africa is a beautiful land, with beautiful people, and some extremely beautiful homes, for some incredibly high prices. Like many other things in our beautiful country, the prices of houses are among the highest in the world. 

Prices of things in South Africa seem to be increasing year on year, and while we are one of the most expensive countries when it comes to data and fuel, we are also one of the most expensive when it comes to housing. But let’s be honest, there isn’t another place in the world (at least where I have been, and I’ve been around quite a bit) that has the landscapes, and silhouettes that our country has to offer. From being sandwiched between mountains and oceans in the cape, to the incredible coastline of Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa has the views to go with the delicious price tags of its properties.
