Terraced bungalow for sale
3 Bedroom House with Swimming Pool, Furnished
This 3-bedroom residential house for sale in Diani Beach, Msambweni Sub-County (Gombato Bongwe Ward), is a high-specification villa emphasizing utility independence and construction quality. A key highlight is the massive 60,000-liter water storage capacity, a critical feature for Kwale County real estate, ensuring that residents and guests have uninterrupted water access even during dry seasons, thereby reducing reliance on water tankers by 100% (Coast Water Services Board, 2024). Situated on a 0.25-acre (1,011 sqm) corner plot, the property comprises a main bungalow and a detached service block. The structure is built with a reinforced concrete roof slab protected by 5-layer Mapei waterproofing, designed to accommodate a vertical extension. This allows the buyer to construct a second floor immediately, potentially unlocking high-value ocean views and increasing the floor area by another 200 sqm. The interior features open-plan living spaces cooled by terracotta quarry tiles, eliminating the need for AC and lowering energy bills by an estimated 25% (Green Building Kenya, 2024). The property comes fully furnished with bespoke hardwood and epoxy furniture, making it a turnkey purchase. Key amenities include a 15-meter private lap pool, a fitted kitchen with granite islands, and an outdoor BBQ area. Security provisions include an electric fence, high perimeter wall, and a dedicated gate guard house. Internet connectivity is provided via fiber optic cable, and waste is managed through an eco-friendly biodigester. As an investment, this property offers significant flexibility. The "off-plan like" potential of the second floor allows for value addition, while the current furnished status allows for immediate rental income. Located 0.2 km from the tarmac on Diani Beach Road and 0.6 km from the ocean, the villa enjoys excellent accessibility.
