One of my favorite ways to experience a destination is through its local food and wine. 🍷🇿🇦

We spent the afternoon at Klein Goederust Boutique Winery in South Africa, enjoying their popular Saturday BBQ surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and vineyards. It was the perfect way to slow down, enjoy great conversation, and experience the warm hospitality of the Cape Winelands.

✨ Fun facts:
• Klein Goederust is a black family-owned boutique winery in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley.
• The estate is known for producing small-batch wines with stunning mountain views in every direction.
• Their Saturday BBQ has become a favorite for both locals and visitors looking for a relaxed, authentic wine country experience.

If you’re planning a trip to Cape Town, don’t skip the Winelands. It was one of the highlights of my visit!

Having your girlfriend’s by your side to celebrate your wins, will always be top-tier! So very thankful to have them be there with me to pick up the keys to our apartment in Cape Town and bless our home🙏🏽

From a real estate spreadsheet to a rooftop toast.

🥂🇿🇦Ten months ago, I submitted an official offer on a repurposed historic preservation building in Cape Town. Today, the keys are officially mine, the apartment is ready, and my girlfriends flew in from the U.S. to help me throw the ultimate rooftop housewarming celebration.This is exactly why my husband and I decided to diversify our portfolio internationally alongside our land in Belize.

Global real estate isn’t just a powerful financial hedge against inflation, it is a lifestyle unlock. It gives us another home base in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.The paperwork is done.

The lifestyle is real. And the blueprint is completely mapped out for you.

The ultimate perk of investing in global real estate. 💼🦓With my official offer submitted to the developer, there was nothing left to do but step back and let the legal teams do their work.

I spent my last full day at Aquila Game Reserve, taking in the incredible South African wildlife and reflecting on how fast this entire journey moved.

Experiencing a safari right outside the city center highlights exactly why Cape Town real estate is a goldmine for foreign capital. You aren’t just buying four walls; you are buying into a robust, world-class tourism infrastructure. High-spending international travelers flock here year-round, creating a massive, highly resilient demand for luxury short-term rental accommodations.I came here looking for an asset to hedge against inflation, but I’m leaving with a lifelong connection to this beautiful country.

Investing responsibly while building global wealth. 🏛️🇿🇦

After analyzing endless floor plans, I finally found the international asset I was looking for. My realtor secured a private showing with Blok, one of Cape Town’s most forward-thinking developers. What drew me to this specific project was its focus on historic preservation and adaptive reuse, repurposing an iconic structure to protect local heritage without displacing the community. The first unit embraced the building’s original structural layout, which is beautiful, but I needed a slightly different configuration for my specific investment model.

Then, he walked me into a beautifully optimized model unit. The design integration, the lifestyle features, and the rental potential hit every single metric on my checklist. It felt less like a generic investment and more like a generational homebase.

I called my husband on the spot. His response? “Put an offer on it. Finding the right asset requires a developer focused on sustainable urban growth, the right neighborhood, and a trusted local team on the ground.

Don’t let beautiful staging trick you into a bad property investment. 📉🇿🇦
On paper, this extended studio in De Waterkant checked a lot of boxes. The area is highly walkable, ultra-trendy, and heavily targeted by international travelers.But stepping inside revealed the ultimate real estate trap: it felt like a hotel room, not a homebase.

Many foreign investors chase high peak-season Airbnb projections without looking at the bigger picture. Micro-apartments with no private outdoor space, no lifestyle amenities, and tight layouts face massive competition on rental apps. When the off-season hits, your vacancy rate skyrockets.

An international asset should protect your wealth, not leave you vulnerable to seasonal tourist fluctuations. I need a balance of strong ROI and true generational utility.The search continues.

Episode 8 of 16 | Investing in South Africa as an American | Cape Town Investment Diaries

The apartment tours officially began!

This first property checked a lot of boxes. It was a beautiful, newer building with incredible views, professional management, and several floor plans to consider.

But one thing I’ve learned is that buying property isn’t about falling in love with the first beautiful place you see.
It’s about knowing what matters most to you.

For us, flexibility was important. We wanted a property we could enjoy ourselves and also use as a vacation rental when we weren’t there. Since this building didn’t allow that, it wasn’t the right fit for our goals.
That doesn’t make it a bad investment—it just wasn’t our investment.
And that’s an important difference.
