It’s the kind of place where families, groups of friends, or long-stay visitors can feel immediately at ease — a true home away from home. Whether you’re here for the holidays, business, or simply to unwind, the villa provides both privacy and convenience in a serene setting. Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting living and dining space, tastefully furnished and filled with natural light from large windows. A well equipped kitchen makes it easy and enjoyable to cook your food. Upstairs is a spacious, cosy family room and three of the bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom. A fourth bedroom sits conveniently on the ground floor. Each room comes with its own desk and chair, making it simple to balance work and leisure. There’s also a dedicated study room with a diverse selection of books — a quiet space ideal for reading, writing, or remote work. Step outside and you’re greeted by a private garden and patio, perfect for sipping tea, relaxing with loved ones, or simply enjoying Nairobi’s cool evenings. The villa is set within a secure neighbourhood, offering peace of mind with a private security guard and ample parking. What makes this location truly special is its setting in a part of Karen renowned for its lush greenery and indigenous trees, alive with nature. Birdwatchers will love the chance to spot dozens of bird species, while vervet and Sykes monkeys are frequent visitors, moving playfully among the treetops. It feels like a world away from the city, yet Nairobi’s conveniences remain within easy reach. From the villa, you’re just over a kilometre away from Karen shopping centre, only ten minutes from The Hub Karen Mall, fifteen minutes from the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum, and twenty minutes from Nairobi National Park. Wilson Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport are also easily accessible, making this an ideal base for both city exploration and safari adventures. The villa is designed for comfort and flexibility: families on holiday, expats on extended stays, diplomats seeking privacy, business travelers, or groups of friends can all find a natural fit here. Remote workers, writers, and students will especially appreciate the high-speed WiFi, quiet workspaces, and inspiring natural surroundings. Additional conveniences include a laundry area with washer, optional housekeeping services, and airport transfer or local driver arrangements. The setup is family-ready, ensuring that everyone — young and old — can feel at home. Above all, this villa isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s a welcoming base where you can relax, host, and create lasting memories. From cozy evenings by the fireplace to mornings filled with birdsong in the garden, every detail has been designed to make your stay special.
