LOCATION Uligani House is located off the Nanyuki Meru highway approximately 9km from Nanyuki town centre. The property is approximately 2 and a half hours drive from Nairobi. As well as by road, it can also be accessed by Nanyuki airport, approximately 45 minutes from Nairobi s Wilson airport. Set at 2,000m above sea level (ASL) within the Mt Kenya region, Uligani House is a private and serene home set within a 81 acre bushland environment which is accessible through Turaco Farm, a farming business providing green and sustainable horticulture. The house benefits from its proximity to Nanyuki Town which boasts Braeburn International School, Nanyuki Cottage Hospital, Nanyuki Mall and Cedar Mall (doors opening soon). The Town also has good mobile phone and internet access. A number of Parks and Game Reserves are also within easy reach such as Samburu, Mt Kenya National Parks and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, among others. Nanyuki is currently one of the preferred locations for holiday and retirement homes by both local and foreign investors, due to its renowned climate and variety of lifestyle options. Many residential developments like Mt. Kenya Wildlife Estate, Mt. Kenya Holiday Homes, Mukima Ridge Estate, Ol Pejeta etc have been completed in the past few years and gained popularity. Nanyuki is also home to commercial large scale farming notably floriculture and horticulture. www.knightfrank.com ULIGANI HOUSE - 02
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL In addition to being a stunning private home, the property boasts superb investment and development potential due to its size, setting and existing accommodation. The existing additional houses on the property can be rented immediately to provide an income return. Then from an investment perspective, the construction of further housing could be explored. Low density developments such as Mukima Ridge, Ol Pejeta etc are a viable and popular option. The whole 81 acre plot is zoned for residential use & could be subdivided to build at least 5 further house sites without effecting the existing bushland feel (subject to necessary approvals). Other options could include using segments of the property for commercial farming, and/or leasing segments of the property to farms for agricultural use. The surrounding Turaco Farm has chosen to do this and is leasing farming units to 5 tenants involved in horticulture and floriculture for export. The property is held on a leasehold interest for a term of Ninety Nine (99) years from 1st April 2012 www.knightfrank.com ULIGANI HOUSE - 03
