CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Mark Thatcher's Cape Town mansion has been put up for sale for $3.6 million (2.03 million pounds) as the son of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher faces questions about a suspected coup bid in Equatorial Guinea.

The thatched roof house boasts seven bedrooms, a "safari lounge" and one of South Africa's best addresses and should fetch close to its asking price of 24 million rand, real estate agent Mike Greeff said on Sunday.

"It is an ambassadorial residence," Greeff said. "It is up there with the best."

Thatcher, 51, posted bail of about $300,000 on Friday but must remain in the Cape Town area until a court hearing on November 25 to face charges that he helped to finance an coup attempt in oil-rich Equatorial Guinea.
