According to a post on Mzansi Cribs on Instagram, the Ruimsig mansion is going for a cool 11.5 million. The mansion which boasts seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, four garages, two cottages, a lavish garden and an uphill driveway was used on the show for years.

Zimoja noted that Tshedza Pictures bought the property from celebrity property manager TT Mbah in 2018 sorely for the show. However, the production company listed the home for sale after confirmation that The River was in its final season.

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, Brendan Cluley, owner and principal agent of Private Guy Properties said:

"The current marketing price is fair for this property. However, the recent sales in the area don't lean toward that price range. Lightsone reports show the recent comparable average sales price in the Ruimsig area is R4.5 million, which indicates current buyers are more in favour of properties under R5m. In saying that, every pot has its lid and the right owner for this house is out there.

"Filming a TV show in a house does not increase its property value, but it does benefit the seller in terms of exposure. In this instance, the fact that a TV series was filmed on this property might attract a specific type of buyer.

"The main determining factor of a property's value is its location. Other things that increase value also include property size, features (such as solar panels, boreholes, swimming pool etc) and local attractions (like golf courses, beaches, schools etc), to name a few."
