Rarely does a property command such a description but Knight Frank, jointly with their Nairobi office, is instructed to market one of the most beautiful properties anywhere. Knight Frank is indicating that offers in excess of £1m will be considered for Kedong Farm.
Based on the edge of the beautiful Rift Valley, with stunning views of Mount Longonot,” far from the madding crowd “ Kedong Farm has only ever had three owners in its history. Peter Caroe of Knight Frank described his first impressions, “Once you’ve arrived you never want to leave “.
Situated between Nairobi and Naivasha, both within 30 miles on good roads, the property consists of the gloriously romantic Colonial Style House (about 585m2) that has five Bedrooms, three Bathrooms, three reception rooms and a large veranda overlooking the lush gardens and lake. The lake is created by the spring waters which rise all year behind the house and flow through the lake as the Little Kedong River. Adjacent to the main house is a guest annexe with two bedrooms and its own living room, kitchen and bathroom. In addition there are four further dwellings which the owners usually let on short leases and a range of traditional and modern farm buildings, all standing in about 240 acres (97 hectares). There is also ample staff accommodation.
The vendors have a modest water bottling operation which would easily benefit from further investment and commercialisation, the product being of the highest quality and having a well respected reputation.
