Manor on Lower Kabete

Property Overview

Flooded with natural light and surrounded by 2 acres of award-winning terraced gardens, this stunning five-bedroom family home offers a unique yet stately twist on the classic Nairobi manor. Nestled in the heart of a green, secure gated community on Lower Kabete Road, it offers easy commutes to Westlands, Gigiri and the CBD.

A large welcoming entrance hall with beautiful hardwood floors leads up a half flight of steps into the home's vast open-plan living and dining area — a sweeping room with the feel of a conservatory, with massive skylights across half the ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls. Cool terrazzo floors, a central light well housing a mature bamboo plant, and a generous fireplace anchor the space. Wide doors open directly onto the terrace and pool.

Kitchen & Family Spaces

The kitchen sits just off the main living area, offering two full sets of hobs — one electric, one gas — alongside a built-in oven, microwave, and ample counter and cupboard space. A separate laundry room adjoins the kitchen.

A large, bright bonus room off the kitchen is ideal as a children's play area or family TV room, adding a relaxed, informal counterpoint to the grand proportions of the main living space.

Bedrooms

Three bedrooms are located behind double security doors up a half flight from the main living room. Each features beautiful hardwood floors and warm wooden cupboard doors. The large ensuite master bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool and gardens. Two further spacious, bright bedrooms and a large shared bathroom complete the family wing.

The home's remaining two bedrooms are positioned on the opposite side of the house, forming a natural guest wing. Both are ensuite with lovely green views. The second guest bedroom connects directly to the games room — complete with a billiards table — which opens onto the pool, perfect for entertaining.

Pool, Terrace & Gardens

The heated pool is long enough for laps and is surrounded by a generous terrace that serves as a beautiful outdoor living room — ideal for al fresco meals, barbecues and entertaining throughout the year.

From the terrace, garden paths descend through multiple levels of immaculately landscaped terraced grounds. The mature garden has a magical quality, with gorgeous large trees, stunning climbing plants, and flat lawned areas perfect for games and meandering walks. A vegetable garden occupies the second level, while the lowest level features a large open space with a partially covered terrace and built-in barbecue.

Guest Cottage & Estate

The detached two-bedroom guest cottage offers a generous living and dining area and a charming kitchen downstairs. Upstairs, the ensuite master bedroom has the feel of a safari lodge, with a fireplace and stunning views over the gardens and forest. The second bedroom also features hardwood floors, beautiful views and an ensuite bathroom.

A separate detached staff quarters rounds out the estate's amenities, making this a truly self-contained family home of exceptional scale and character.

Location & Neighbourhood
