02Low density

Why does Mambrui Beach Bay sell only 3-acre lots?

To keep the estate quiet and low-density for good: about eleven homes on 33 acres, each with space, privacy and gardens, rather than hundreds of small plots.

An eighth-acre plot scheme on 33 acres could hold more than 200 houses. We would rather sell fewer, larger lots to people who want the same thing: a calm place by the sea. A 3-acre lot gives you room for a main house, a guest cottage, staff quarters, a pool and a garden of palms, with your nearest neighbour well out of earshot.

  • Quiet that lasts. Low density is written into how the estate is sold, not left to chance.
  • Privacy. On 3 acres the house can sit back in its own garden.
  • Room to grow. Build the main house now; add a cottage or pool later.
03Who for

Who are the 3-acre lots for?

Buyers planning a retirement home, a second home or a holiday property on the coast, who value space and quiet over a busy resort strip.

A retirement home

A single-storey home with wide verandas, a garden and a short walk to the beach, with Malindi’s hospitals and shops about 20 minutes away by road.

A second home

A coast house for school holidays and long weekends: Nairobi to Malindi is a little over an hour by air, and Malindi Airport is 18 km from the estate.

A vacation property

A beach house with a guest cottage for family and friends. If you plan to let it, check the estate rules first; see letting.
