Amazing 5-Bedroom House for Sale in Shela, Lamu

This is an amazing 5-bedroom house for sale in Shela, Lamu. Affectionately named ‘Jasmine House,’ the property sits on 0.15 acres comprising a double plot, with one half meticulously preserved as a lush garden oasis.

This elegant three-story house, built in 1986, has been well-maintained, with new roofs installed throughout the last four years. A beautifully designed Swahili door leads into a picturesque courtyard with generous seating. The floor plan is split into two sections, seamlessly connected on the ground and second floors.

The ground floor features a sitting room, dining room, spacious kitchen, ensuite bedroom, guest toilet, and storerooms beneath the staircases.

From here, you can enjoy stunning views of the Manda Channel on one side and the picturesque dunes on the other.

The property also includes a two-story structure currently serving as a home office and storage space, which could easily be transformed into a charming garden house. Additional features include a barazza with seating for ten and swinging beds, a private nook with a stone bench, a well-appointed laundry area with outdoor drying space and a back-up generator house.

Currently, the property serves as a family home and a highly sought-after holiday rental.
