According to Pam Golding Property Group’s CEO, Dr. Andrew Golding, the Cape Atlantic seaboard is a prime location for both South African and international high-net-worth buyers, particularly when it comes to properties in Clifton.

Golding also said that multimillion rand price tags were no deterrent to ultra-high-net-worth buyers when it comes to finding the right homes to meet their lifestyle requirements.

Here are some of the properties available in South Africa with a price tag of at least R100 million:
