Inside Kiambu’s Exquisite Old Home with a Lake Selling for Sh400 Million

While Kenyans are struggling to have at least one meal in a day, there are some eyeing multibillion properties to buy.

In Tigoni, Kiambu county a property owner is selling an eight-acre lakefront property for Sh400 million and is expecting customers who will afford it.

For Sh0.4 billion, the new owner will have incredible vistas of forests, golf course, a lake to swim in and an enchanting garden.

It has a lake.

The property has a gorgeous colonial-style home with light verandahs and dining rooms overlooking the beautiful, serene lake.

The house also features a very large formal dining room that leads out to the garden, a spacious lounge with a fireplace and can accommodate 11 people.

And while the average people are awaken by bodaboda and matatu noise, the new occupant will start the day with soothing sounds from birds in the compound followed with a breeze from the lake.

The property is marketed by Lang’ata Link Real Estate.

The property is old but stunning.

“This property is a great investment as either a home or a commercial venture. It has an established reputation,” the real estate said.

According to an inside source, the property was initially a flower farm before it was turned into a resort of a kind.

Green lawn.

This is the new trend in Kiambu. Coffee farms are being turned into leisure gardens or subdivided and sold as plots for residential and commercial developments.

Tigoni which is a leafy neighbourhood in the cold Limuru has recently gained popularity with wealthy who are leaving the suburbs of Nairobi like Kileleshwa, Lavington, Kilimani, Hurlingahm, Kitisuru and others which have been invaded by highrise buildings, compromising their privacy.

The lake is swimmable.

According to a Property Index published by Hass Consult last year, house prices in Tigoni went up by close to 7 percent.

An acre there is around Sh29.3 million, according to Hass Consult Real Estate’s research.

Beautiful trees.

Last year another property dealer posted for sale a five-bedroomed castle-like house in Muthaiga which was going for Sh700 million.

The property on two-acres of land is furnished with very expensive furniture, artifacts and other items.

The land is forested.

It has four en suite bathrooms, spacious parking space, well-trimmed lawns and blossoming grass and flowers, besides swimming pool and other prestigious things.
