“Not 1.5, That’s a R450k Project”: Close Look at R1.5 Mil Village House Has Mzansi in Disbelief

• A village house valued at R1.5 million was shared online, and South Africans couldn't believe it was worth the cost
• The property is a single story one, has a massive garage but doesn't have anything surrounding it
• A massive debate erupted within the comments section, with many people saying that the price was unreasonable

South Africans had a lot to say after a R1.5 million village home was shared online. People couldn't believe the house was priced that high and shared how sceptical they were of it. Some commenters stated that it looked like it cost about R450,000.

A humble abode

The super_group_properties TikTok account shared the house with its followers and most were shocked by the price. The house itself isn't the most expensive looking (its still under construction but almost done) but is quite spacious looking. It only has one floor and its surroundings are empty.

Homes galore

The super_group_properties account is filled with impressive homes. The company specialises in building homes on vacant land owned by individuals. Interestingly enough, several houses shown within the profile look like the one posted above, but are priced at much less. One Limpopo project had a cost of R350,000 and looked quite similar to the house shared.

The development costs of each property is unique to the land and the different obstacles it will take. The biggest issue in the clip above, is that the house is in quite a remote area. Its difficult to spot another house nearby.

South Africans had a lot to say about the house and thought that it was highway robbery.
