Gorgeous 5-Bedroom House for Sale in Watamu

This is a gorgeous 5-bedroom house for sale in Watamu. The home, affectionately named Coast House, sits on a generous 1-acre leasehold plot and offers conditional five-minute beach access via an easement through the neighbouring Watamu Beach Cottages. Mature tropical gardens surround the home, retaining much of the site’s original forest character and enhancing the peaceful, private atmosphere of Coast House.

The thoughtfully designed home was built in 2018 and blends elegant architecture with its natural surroundings to create a tranquil private retreat. The house is entered through an enchanting frangipani-lined courtyard, complete with ornamental ponds and shaded pergola walkways on either side. At the heart of the main two-storey building, a striking mature mahogany tree rises through the central staircase, creating a dramatic architectural feature. The ground floor hosts spacious living and dining areas that open seamlessly onto pergola-covered seating spaces and expansive paved sunbathing decks, ideal for relaxed indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, two self-contained day rooms and a sundowner bar provide elevated views across the property. These spaces offer excellent potential to be easily converted into additional permanent bedrooms, all overlooking the swimming pool and the magnificent baobab tree that anchors the poolside entertainment area.

Five well-appointed bedrooms flank one side of the entry courtyard, including a spacious main suite and four additional ensuite bedrooms. All bedrooms are equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and solar-heated hot water. On the opposite side of the courtyard are the fully fitted kitchen, storage rooms, a TV room or office, and a dedicated snooker room.

The impressive swimming pool measures 20 metres by 5 metres and is complemented by a poolside bar that connects directly to the main lower lounge. The pool plant room, cloakroom and storage areas are discreetly positioned behind the TV bar for convenience.

Staff accommodation, additional storage rooms, and a four-bay covered carport are located at the front of the house, accessed via a generous parking area. The property is well equipped with three-phase power, 100 cubic metres of underground water storage, and a three-zone solar-powered inverter system providing reliable backup and energy efficiency.

The entire property is enclosed by a 2.4-metre-high coral stone wall, beautifully softened by flowering bougainvillea, ensuring both privacy and security.
