Questions About The Retreat Villa at Rivera
What is the total built area and layout of The Retreat Villa?
The Retreat offers a grand total built area of 164 square metres (1,765 square feet) across two levels. The ground level comprises an entrance lobby, guest powder room, open-plan kitchen, dining space, and living pavilion opening directly onto a private riverfront garden terrace. The first floor accommodates two private bedrooms, each with its own dedicated ensuite bathroom and fitted wardrobe joinery.
What are the pricing options and payment structures for The Retreat?
The Retreat is available under three developer payment structures: (1) Standard Plan at KES 36,080,000 (rate: KES 220,000/sqm), structured with a 20% booking deposit (KES 7,216,000), 10% on sale agreement (KES 3,608,000), 15 monthly instalments of KES 1,563,467, and 5% on possession (KES 1,804,000); (2) Accelerated Plan A at KES 32,800,000 (rate: KES 200,000/sqm), with 40% booking deposit (KES 13,120,000), 10% on agreement, 15 monthly instalments of KES 984,000, and 5% on possession; and (3) Accelerated Plan B (Cash) at KES 29,520,000 (rate: KES 180,000/sqm), with 85% on booking (KES 25,092,000), 10% on agreement, and 5% on possession.
Does The Retreat have a private garden and parking?
Yes. Each Retreat Villa sits on its own demarcated private plot with landscaped front gardens, a private river-facing rear lawn, and a paved parking forecourt accommodating two full-sized vehicles.
Is The Retreat Villa well suited for Airbnb and short-stay rentals?
The Retreat is the most compact and capital-efficient home at Rivera, making it ideal for short-stay holiday letting. Two-bedroom countryside cottages in Nanyuki achieve robust weekend and holiday occupancy from Nairobi professionals, safari couples, and expatriates, commanding nightly rates between KES 20,000 and KES 35,000 with strong net yield potential.
What finishes and fittings are included in The Retreat?
The villa is delivered with high-specification contemporary highland finishes: polished porcelain tiling in living zones, engineered wood finishes in bedrooms, custom cabinetry with quartz or granite countertops, imported sanitaryware with matte black or brushed brass accents, solar water heating systems, and architectural aluminium-framed double-glazed windows.
Does The Retreat include domestic staff quarters (DSQ)?
The Retreat layout is designed as a streamlined two-bedroom home without a separate staff room. For buyers requiring attached staff quarters, the three-bedroom Gathering Family, Gathering Premium, or Sanctuary villas provide self-contained DSQ accommodations.
What title document is issued for The Retreat Villa?
Buyers receive an individual registrable long-term residential sub-lease or Sectional Title for the villa and plot, paired with ordinary voting shares in the Rivera Estate Management Company, which holds ownership and maintenance governance over the communal grounds, roads, clubhouse, and riverfront.
How do I reserve a plot for The Retreat Villa?
Reservations are secured through Zuri Estates by submitting an official reservation form, proof of identification (national ID or passport), and the agreed booking deposit into the developer designated client escrow account. Your advocate then reviews the formal Agreement for Sale prior to execution.
