3 Bed House with Garden at Lewa

A unique opportunity - Rugusu Springs is a luxury two-storey home in 10 acres right on the boundary of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. It combines the best of two worlds - wilderness and fine living - only 2 km off the A2 highway between Nanyuki and Isiolo.

The interior of the house and guest cottage feature local hardwoods throughout. The primary spaces on the ground floor include an entry hallway with skylight, leading onto the natural wood staircase and a storage room and ground floor shower and toilet room. A large purpose-built kitchen features a central island, twin sinks, storage cupboards and a pantry. Joined sitting and dining areas, each with its own fireplace are attached to a snug bar and an office. At the top of the stairs a landing leads onto three bedrooms, an office space, a safe room and a walk-in airing cupboard.

The gardens have been lovingly maintained by the owner and a crew of gardeners and comprise a mixture of natural wildflowers and trees interspersed with colorful exotics. The whole is freely accessed by the resident wildlife which includes a herd of up to 50 impalas, dikdiks, bushbuck and occasional waterbucks and giraffe. In addition to the central area around the house, the property slopes down to a permanent crystal-clear river, the eastern Marania, that flows from Rugusu springs. The whole property is surrounded by a 2.5 m high electric fence which is contiguous with the Lewa Conservancy security fence. Views over and into the Lewa wildlife conservancy which is also UNESCO world heritage site.
