Quintessential Kenyan Billionaire Dr. Chris Kirubi (CK) is a person who loves the finer issues in life. He’s a person not afraid to splash just a little unfastened change on automobiles, jets, jewellery, mansions or on garments, simply to say however a couple of, undoubtedly a contact of panache in all his purchases.
I used to be lately in Vipingo Ridge, Kilifi County for a few weeks (a spot of splendor that’s set on 2,500 acres of gorgeous landscaped gardens on an 18-hole golf course) the place I had the dignity of seeing firsthand, what wealth should purchase you- a dream house. Please sit again, pop your favourite French champagne, or just, lean again, change off your Netflix and take a ‘stroll’ with me as I introduce to you Dr. Chris Kirubi’s lavish house.
On occasion in life, we throw within the phrase dream house/s in sentences however in CK’s case or just Chairman, as he likes to be referred to as, there may be actually a no extra apt description for his Vipingo Ridge Villa than a dream house. Let’s simply say that some locations draw you in for a very long time, and this Villa which I fell in love with, merely took my breath away.
From the jaw dropping infinity pool which has two ranges and overlooks the image excellent tropical inexperienced forest consisting of enchanting palm bushes within the horizon capturing your consideration the second you stroll in, to the ethereal, sunlight-filled surrounding with a lot of open areas and lightweight coming in, this Villa merely is a grasp piece of luxurious and luxury. It’s an ultra-modern Scandinavian practical household house that’s 750 sq meters with a refreshing mountain air throughout. It celebrates pure gentle in a spot the place there may be loads of sunshine all all year long.
A number of years in the past, Chairman had gone to go to his good friend, Erwin OverKamp (Director, Residing Life Design Ltd) who was the designer and initially, the proprietor of the Villa. Get this- he (Chairman) fell in love with the Villa upon strolling in and inside 10 minutes of a tour of the Villa, Chairman requested Erwin to promote it to him. Initially Erwin had no plans to promote it; he had solely lived in it for four months after establishing and designing it. This was going to be his vacation house, however when Chairman noticed it, he merely couldn’t let it go. He provided to purchase it and there after which, Erwin bought it to him. The deal was accomplished and inside a few weeks, the Villa’s new proprietor was Chairman.
Upon buying it, Dr. Chris Kirubi made some changes; he prolonged the pool from one to 2 ranges and put in an in depth photo voltaic powered system (ecofriendly). All the Villa runs on solar energy; from the lighting to the infinity pool pump, to the air conditioning- every part within the Villa, so he barely will get any electrical energy invoice…if any in any respect.
The home has 5 bedrooms, all personal, en-suite with each room having its personal terrace and balcony. The main bedroom is a bit of magic; it has its personal well-seasoned mvuli staircase, cutting-edge design which makes it elegant and timeless. The White partitions, wooden floors, trendy furnishings, and an absence of litter really makes this an expensive and oh-so dreamy Scandinavian aesthetic- a dream house certainly.
The designer, Erwin says all he needed was to create was a practical house, distinctive in its personal sense however with a lot of pure light- so, Let the sunshine shine in! (The home was accomplished in 2016). There are particular particular options within the Villa which I had the privilege of gaining access to however can’t point out or present you (let’s simply say for safety causes).
The residing and eating rooms embodies a Nordic fashion: showcasing the outside with a lot of pure gentle coming in, overlooking the infinity pool, which is really one of many greatest sights to this Villa. You merely can’t miss it and can preserve looking at it by and thru. Could I add that it’s a heated pool. There actually is nothing fairly as breathtaking as that first glimpse of the infinity pool if you stroll in. Take a dip right here and also you’ll simply lose your self within the calmness of the tropical panoramic view of the inexperienced jungle proper infront of you. I ‘misplaced’ myself in that pool.
The Villa is totally lovely and finely crafted. Dr. Chris Kirubi who regards his Villa, as a retreat from every single day stress, is a really accommodating man; he’s prepared to host any of his mates who could also be visiting the Coastal area and is searching for a spot to remain (away from the coastal retreats/ lodges) and get this, at no price in any respect. That is your probability to name him subsequent time you might be planning to go to the Coast. Simply give him a name, “Hey DJ CK, can I keep over at your Villa that was completely and fantastically showcased by Capital Way of life?”
