Mara Grove is being built in one phase across six blocks, A to F, rather than in staged releases, with each block given over to one type of home.
56 sqm, from KES 4.8M: the entry home at Mara Grove and the price the development is quoted from. Block A is not covered by the published park-views schedule, so confirm the outlook of a specific unit before you commit. See the 1 bedroom apartments.
95 sqm, from KES 7.5M, with partial Nairobi National Park views from Block B. See the 2 bedroom apartments.
136 to 166 sqm, from KES 10.5M, in Standard, Large and Premium configurations. Every three-bedroom home includes a domestic staff quarter. See the 3 bedroom + DSQ apartments.
The six blocks share a resort-style pool, a gym and a residents’ clubhouse set in landscaped gardens, with shops and a play area on site, so everyday needs are met without leaving the gate.
Mara Grove is on Muthama Access Road in Syokimau, Machakos County, about 600 metres off Mombasa Road, with Nairobi National Park on its western side. The Nairobi Expressway starts at Mlolongo, about 2.4 km away, and JKIA is about 7 km away by straight line.
Straight-line distances from the site; road distances are longer, and travel times on Mombasa Road vary sharply with traffic. The Expressway bypasses most of it for trips into the city.
Mara Grove is sold off plan: pay a deposit on booking, then spread the balance over the construction period.
Because this is an off-plan purchase, ask for the formal payment schedule in writing, with milestone dates, before you pay a deposit, and have an independent advocate review the sale agreement.
Mara Grove’s case rests on its setting and its access: a protected national park on its western boundary, and a site about 7 km from JKIA, 600 metres off Mombasa Road and close to the Expressway. Park-facing homes in Block C, and to a lesser degree Blocks B and D, have the most defensible views, while the one-bedrooms offer the lowest entry price at KES 4.8M. As an off-plan purchase completing in December 2028, weigh the developer’s record and the construction programme, and treat rents and resale values as unguaranteed.
We do not publish rental yields or appreciation forecasts for Mara Grove. If you plan to let furnished or as a short stay, confirm the building’s management rules first, and ask us for current rents on comparable homes in Syokimau.
It suits less well buyers who need to move in before 2029, anyone commuting daily to Westlands or Gigiri, and buyers who want a standalone house with a garden of their own.

For investors
Mara Grove’s case rests on its setting and its access: a protected national park on its western boundary, and a site about 7 km from JKIA, 600 metres off Mombasa Road and close to the Expressway. Park-facing homes in Block C, and to a lesser degree Blocks B and D, have the most defensible views, while the one-bedrooms offer the lowest entry price at KES 4.8M.

Block C has full, unbroken park views from the 7th floor upwards. Blocks B and D have partial park views, and Blocks E and F look onto the courtyard and the surrounding neighbourhood.

We cannot guarantee outcomes on a developer’s behalf, so we tell buyers to do the ordinary things properly. Ask for the sale agreement and the formal payment schedule in writing before you pay anything, have an independent advocate review both, request the title and the approvals for the site, and visit in person to see the construction for yourself.
Yes. We send the price list, floor plans and payment schedule digitally and arrange a video walkthrough of the site. Appoint an independent Kenyan advocate to act for you, and confirm the payment schedule and the developer’s bank details in writing before transferring any funds.
Yes. Mortgage financing is available for qualifying buyers with a 30 per cent down payment. Compare offers from Kenyan banks and get a pre-approval before you book, so the deposit and the loan line up with the payment schedule.
