Perched on the edge of a flat terrain and
eight kilometres from the
Borana Lodge is an eight-bedroom
exclusive house offering the ultimate in solitude and luxury.
Formerly built as a country retreat by Lords
Valentine and Michael Cecil, Laragai offers unmatched privacy
and placate in an astounding background. This private home,
owned by George and Lucilla Stephenson, is only booked on an
exclusive-use basis.
It is a matchless house in both style and
location. The interior of the house features the best in local
furniture with luxurious carpets from Rajasthan and fabrics from
London. The sitting room is ‘African Baronial’ with a thatched
roof, enormous fireplace and animal paintings.
The
sceneries from Laragai are exceptional - Lolokwe and Wamba
Mountains dominate the far horizons to the north and Mount Kenya
looms out of the clouds to the south and 3,000 feet below is
Kenya’s Northern Frontier District.
There is plenty of entertainment in the home,
which has satellite television, an extensive DVD library and
Wi-Fi Internet access throughout. There is also a fantastic
sound system with many CDs to choose from and, for musicians, a
full size electronic keyboard that is wired into the amplifier.
The extensive game room can keep the whole family entertained
with table tennis, croquet and boules.
From
the sheltered area around the heated swimming pool guests have a
view across to Borana Ranch. The Pool House has a bar, kitchen
and bathroom and is the perfect place for long lunches while the
alcoves around the pool provided shaded retreats for an
afternoon siesta. There is also a clay tennis court with
racquets and balls provided.
The property has a helicopter landing site.
NB: Laragai House is booked on an
exclusive basis for a minimum of 6 guests. There are 6 large
double rooms, 4 of which have large double beds and 2 of which
have twin beds (for children)
