3BR Furnished Villa Diani | 0.25 Acres | Expansion Ready Slab | 60kL Water
This 3-bedroom villa in Diani Beach, located within Kwale County's Gombato Bongwe Ward, presents a technically superior investment opportunity with guaranteed utility resilience. Featuring an industry-leading 60,000-liter water storage capacity through underground tanks and rainwater harvesting systems, this property addresses the primary operational risk in the coastal region, ensuring 100% up-time for residents and rental guests regardless of municipal supply fluctuations (Coast Water Services Board Data, 2024). The property sits on a 0.25-acre (1,011 sqm) corner plot and is distinguished by its structural readiness for vertical expansion. The roof is a reinforced concrete slab, treated with a 5-layer Mapei waterproofing system, specifically engineered to support a second storey. This feature allows new owners to double the useable floor area (approx. 200 sqm additional) without foundation reinforcement costs, potentially unlocking ocean views and increasing the asset's resale value by 30-40% (Coastal Construction Index, 2024). The current configuration includes three ensuite bedrooms, an open-plan living area, and a detached staff quarter. Finishing details prioritize durability and low maintenance suitable for the coastal climate. Terracotta quarry tiles provide passive cooling, while the open-plan kitchen features fitted cabinets and granite surfaces. The villa is sold fully furnished with high-end hardwood pieces and epoxy resin tables, reducing initial capital expenditure for investors. Security infrastructure is robust, including an electric fence, perimeter wall, and a dedicated guard house, creating a secure environment 0.2 km from the main Diani Beach Road. The lifestyle component is anchored by a 15-meter private lap pool, a significant differentiator from the smaller plunge pools typical of the area, appealing to long-term tenants and fitness-focused vacationers. Fiber internet connectivity is installed, and waste is managed via a modern biodigester system. Located just 5.9 km (12-min drive) from Ukunda Airstrip and 0.6 km from Diani Beach access, this property combines accessibility with seclusion, offering a verified turnkey solution for buyers seeking immediate yields in the Msambweni real estate market.
