The 360-acre triangle was once a cedar forest. Evidence of the age and size of the forest can be seen in the timbers of which the house is built. There are clear views of Mount Kenya and the Lolldaiga Hills from all corners of the property. An electric fence, patrolled by a team of well-trained askaris, protects the land and its replanted hardwood, trails that have been cut through the bush, which is safe to walk and enjoy the birds, plants and insects.
