0.98 Acres
SOLD IN USD at $405,000/-
Located within the lush greenery of Diani, Lalapanzi House (meaning “sleep well” in Shona) offers a serene coastal escape on a beautifully maintained 0.988-acre walled property. Situated on the north end of the beach road, just a five-minute walk to the beach, this home blends privacy, nature, and comfort seamlessly.
The property boasts a main house with three ensuite bedrooms arranged around a stunning open-air atrium. The makuti roof, replaced in 2023, provides natural cooling, while the stucco-finished walls and ceramic tile flooring add to the home’s charm. One of the bedrooms features air conditioning, and all rooms are fitted with oscillating ceiling fans. A two-story cottage offers additional living space, with two bedrooms on the main floor and an open-air bedroom upstairs, perfect for embracing the tropical breeze. The cottage includes a full kitchen, two bathrooms, and an open upper level designed with netting to keep out monkeys.
Surrounding the home is a lush tropical garden filled with mature trees, including frangipani, neem, coconut palms, and a majestic baobab tree planted in 1996. Flamboyant trees line the driveway, while a variety of fruit trees—mango, citrus, guava, pomegranate, and bananas—thrive throughout the compound. A thoughtfully designed composting area allows for sustainable gardening practices.
At the heart of the outdoor space is a 60,000-liter freshwater swimming pool, fully renovated in 2021 with a terrazzo finish, new pump, filter, and pool house. A charming gazebo offers a shaded retreat, while the carport provides covered parking.
The property is equipped with reliable water and power solutions. A 50-foot private well with a new stainless steel submersible pump (installed in 2024) ensures a steady water supply, supplemented by Kwale Council piped water and an extensive rainwater collection system. Multiple underground and overhead storage tanks, with a total capacity of over 85,000 liters, support household use and garden irrigation. The electrical system was professionally upgraded in 2012, and a backup generator is in place to provide uninterrupted power.
Security has been carefully considered, with emergency call buttons in rooms, lockable burglar bars, and a secure steel storage room for valuables. The home has been diligently maintained by a trusted team of skilled tradespeople, including an electrician, plumbers, and a makuti roofing expert. The long-serving night guard, Benjamin, has been with the property since before it was built in 1996, ensuring a sense of security and familiarity.
Lalapanzi House is more than just a home—it is a peaceful coastal sanctuary, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise in Diani. Whether as a private residence or an investment property, this retreat is ready for its next chapter.
