Priced at 25 million euros, it’s said that Enigma Mansion is
the most expensive property to be put on the market in South
Africa. Completed in 2011, the ostentatious trophy home has
hosted royalty, celebrities, and commercial, film and TV shoots,
including American apocalyptic supernatural action series
‘Dominion’, and is now ready for a new owner.
Glynn Evans, Managing Director of selling agent Ibiza
Sotheby’s International Realty, comments, “We’re already
marketing a six-bedroom six-million-euro country hideaway
in Ibiza on behalf of this German billionaire owner, and he’s
recently added Enigma Mansion to our sales portfolio. While
the two homes share superlative qualities and styling, and
target a similar would-be buyer, it’s the South African home
that is notorious for its unapologetic opulent exhibitionist styling
and the roll call of VIPs its hosted. Given the prime coastal
location and the money that’s been spent on technology,
interior décor and landscaping, the 25-million-euro valuation
could almost be higher.”
With an address in wind-free The Glen, a sheltered wealthy
enclave on Cape Town’s sought-after Atlantic seaboard
popular with European homeowners, Enigma Mansion actually
refers to the main three-storey 1,586m² residence while a
separate 264m² two-bedroom guest house and one-bedroom-
suite cottage nestle into the grounds. Built in the style of a
grand residence from a bygone era, offering nostalgia and
elegance, it is only comparable to a handful of properties
found in perhaps the South of France or on Long Island’s Gold
Coast.
High ceilings dominate while Enigma Mansion’s fixtures and
fittings are well-travelled with handmade Louis XIV-replica door
handles from Argentina, Persian silk carpets from London, light
fittings from California, hand-printed wall coverings from Paris,
and Versace tableware from Italy.
The west-facing master suite deserves special mention, a
dreamlike space with living room, walk-in wardrobes, two en-
suite bathrooms (actor Michael Caine famously said, the secret
to a happy marriage is to “never share a bathroom”) and a
trio of double doors leading to roomy terraces overlooking
the landscaped grounds. This romantic suite also doubles as a
‘panic room’ and can be sealed off in 30 seconds. Meanwhile
the 627m² basement has been dedicated to pure pleasure –
a 100m² Parisian-style 3D cinema pre-loaded with thousands
of blockbusters, a fitness room with Technogym equipment, a
dance studio, sauna, and relaxation and massage rooms.
The estate’s one-million-euro-plus IT system took two years
of planning, testing and programming and is in evidence in
each room of the three houses. iPads give complete control of
pre-loaded music, heating, air-conditioning, lighting, curtains,

blinds, the alarm system, CCTV, and 3D televisions which are
either recessed into the wall or released electronically from the
ceiling. Superfast Cisco wi-fi is available throughout.
Outside, the 7,500m² (almost two-acre) plot offers a mixture
of understated rambling meadow, waterways and ponds
alongside showy accoutrements such as an Indonesian
massage temple, an afternoon tea temple and a palatial
Olympic-size Versace swimming pool billed as “the most
glamorous and sexy pool in the western hemisphere”.
Unobstructed views of the Atlantic, Table Mountain, Lion’s
Head, and Twelve Apostles mountain range add further to
Enigma Mansion’s appeal, while Table Mountain Natural
Park is right on the doorstep at just 50 metres. The cafes and
restaurants of Camps Bay and Clifton Beaches are within
three minutes. Professional private security are stationed in
guardhouses just 50 and 150 metres from the property.
