Welcome to Mt. Kenya Cottage, a hidden gem located in the prestigious and secure neighborhood of Muthaiga! This sought-after area is favored by diplomats, expats and locals, offering a tranquil and green environment. It is just a short two-minute drive away from the charming neighborhood shopping center, where you can find an Italian restaurant, wine shop and supermarket.
The home itself is nestled in a cul-de-sac, surrounded by the breathtaking greenery of Karura Forest. Here, you can escape the hustle and bustle of city life, as there are no passing cars or distant highway noises. Although the UN and various amenities around the diplomatic center are just a short drive away, coming home to Mt. Kenya Cottage feels like being transported to a different world, where tranquility reigns supreme.
Furnished with gorgeous antiques and boasting a stunning original art collection on loan from Maarifa’s director, this home exudes luxury from the moment you enter. The spacious living room receives ample natural light from large windows, which frame a beautiful Lamu daybed. Enjoy relaxing evenings unwinding by the charming fireplace. Overlooking to this space, you’ll find an elevated dining room with a double-height ceiling, a perfect design that both creates distinct living and dining areas and allows for an open, flowing feel. On the home’s ground floor, you’ll also find one of its four bedrooms, which is shown here furnished as a study.
Upstairs, behind a safe-haven, you’ll find the home’s remaining three bedrooms. The master bedroom is ensuite, with a spacious layout and beautiful garden views. All of the rooms feature large beds, but as always Maarifa Homes can customise these rooms to your particular needs – anything from a nursery or children’s room to his and hers home offices.
Outside, the home has a private landscaped garden with a furnished terrace, where you’ll love wiling away sunny Nairobi days. We have provided a seating area, complete with a three-seater sofa and Adirondack chairs, as well as a six-seater dining table for meals al fresco. This space is securely fenced, making Mt. Kenya Cottage a perfect choice for pet owners.
Beyond its private gardens, the home’s estate offers charming shared spaces, with beautiful tree-lined walkways and dedicated covered parking. This community is highly secure, having been vetted by the American embassy, and offers measures such as perimeter security and internal safeguards such as fire escapes and safe havens. Additionally, each unit is equipped with backup water storage and an inverter, ensuring uninterrupted comfort and convenience.
In addition to its convenient, secure location, Maarifa offers an all-inclusive package with support and services catering to all your home needs. We can also accommodate those seeking an unfurnished property in the same location.
