Luxury homes on Cape Town’s millionaire mile

It’s opulent homes on Cape Town’s exquisite millionaire mile as BBC Lifestyle’s Listing Cape Town kicks off its second season this month.

Cape Town’s luxury residential market has distinguished itself in the global real estate industry with an annual growth of 12.3%*, outpacing global trends and drawing a wave of local and international interest.

Listing Cape Town producers Nico Nel and Trevor Kaplan say this eagerly anticipated season ups the stakes significantly, with ten new episodes showcasing jaw-dropping properties valued at an astonishing R280 million.

“This season shines a spotlight on the Mother City’s Millionaire’s Mile, a stretch of road between Clifton Second Beach and Camps Bay renowned for its sought-after mega-flats representing the pinnacle of luxury and exclusivity,” they add.

In addition to featuring manicured stud farms in and around the Cape Winelands and breathtaking beach bungalows, Season 2 also introduces some fresh faces to the team of dynamic and professional property agents featured through the series.

“We’ll also take viewers on the exhilarating rollercoaster ride the property agents must endure as they navigate the competitive Western Cape property market to close deals running into the hundreds of millions,” adds Nel and Kaplan. “Whether it’s the prestigious Atlantic Seaboard locations or the inland properties in and around Franschhoek, these individuals will require unwavering perseverance to meet the incredibly elevated expectations of high-rolling and influential celebrities, property moguls, and local sports stars featured this season.”

These historical gems are nestled among an array of properties, including a R150 million Franschhoek wine farm currently on the market. The season also highlights Bishopscourt, a wealthy location attracting numerous foreign and local buyers, especially those looking to relocate from Johannesburg and Durban.

Viewers can expect a rich variety of ocean-view apartments, city-style living, suburban homes, and Cape Wineland properties. Among the many eye-catching properties is a listing on one of Africa’s most valuable streets, Nettleton Road, known for its ultra-luxurious houses and breathtaking views.
