The estate’s two-bedroom main house holds captivating stories of remarkable significance.

During World War II, it was the gathering place where local housewives prepared parcels for soldiers.

In the 1950s and 60s, it was a renowned hotel and lodge, with its main hall hosting the annual balls of The Kenya Regiment.

The full-size pool, now concealed, was the only one in Nakuru when it was installed in the early 1950s.

As Kenya approached independence, the property was modified to accommodate British soldiers and their families.

Through it all, the house remained, a quiet witness to a Kenya in transition.

Today, it's been meticulously restored, true to the Major's original design.

Major MacDonald’s estate originally stretched across more than 500 acres. Over time, he sold off most of it.

Today, more than a century later, 19.57 acres remain.

In 1896, construction of the Uganda Railway began in Mombasa. As railway stations opened, major Kenyan towns were born.

By 1900, the railway had reached Nakuru. It was around this time that Major Jim MacDonald, a Canadian army major who would later serve in both World Wars, arrived in Kenya.

With the railway yet to extend farther inland, Nakuru was as far as his journey could go. He therefore bought land alongside the burgeoning rail line and settled.

This is how our story began.

Beyond the main house, more of the estate’s original lifelines remain.

The 360-foot borehole, drilled in 1953, has remained remarkably reliable, delivering a consistent flow of 25,000 litres per hour.

The hotel-standard kitchen still stands, a reminder of the estate’s years as a destination for guests.

And over time, the estate has evolved, with additional facilities that remain part of its story today:

• Eight charming cottages and a guest wing, together offering 23 bedrooms

• 3-phase electricity provision

• A second swimming pool, awaiting revitalisation

• A garage and detached storage facility

• A substantial 100,000-litre water tank

• Staff quarters

Set on a generous half acre lot, this home gives you something that's becoming increasingly rare in Nairobi: room to breathe. It pairs generous interiors with an expansive garden setting, creating a home that feels substantial without losing its sense of warmth.

The architecture makes an immediate impression. Triple-volume, floor-to-ceiling windows draw daylight through the main living spaces and open the home to views of the surrounding greenery. High-end finishes and a thoughtfully considered layout bring the rest together, with privacy and natural light clearly given as much importance as luxury.

The accommodation is equally versatile: four spacious en-suite bedrooms, a guest room, and a dedicated library/study that can easily adapt into an additional bedroom or private office.

Then there is the basement, a considerable bonus for a home of this calibre. Use it as a home theatre, gym, w**e cellar, games room or additional entertainment space; the choice is yours.

Outside, the half-acre grounds are already beautifully established, with a mature garden and orchard, and plenty of space to simply enjoy or get creative: build a children's play area, a gazebo, or an outdoor lounge.
