A real estate agent announced it was for sale in a popular Facebook group, but many questioned its construction.

The mansion with 14 ensuite bedrooms sits on 2.1 acres and is surrounded by trees.

It has a grand living room, a modern kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, a swimming pool in the backyard, lush gardens, staff quarters for your convenience and ample parking.

The agent also posted numerous images of the home in the Miotoni area of Karen. She praised the location for its security, tranquillity, and proximity to Nairobi's best schools, shops, and restaurants.

She also posted images of the home with an eye-popping KSh 350 million price tag.

The mansion is three stories high and finished with decorative brown blocks. A grove of mature trees with lush gardens sandwiches it.

The swimming pool in the back has a scenic view of a grove of trees.

The living room has well-polished wooden floors, but some Kenyans questioned its finishing and price tag.

Velonah A. Lubker:

“Why would someone want to live in a 14-bedroom house?”

Madina Wa Chege:

“Montezuma Funeral Home looks far much better than this.”

Ma-c Muriuki:

“There's absolutely no beauty in that house.”

Vee Juma:

“The exterior makes it look like a haunted house. So dull and moody.”

Paul Syagga:

“I am waiting for the jackpot I participated in to show up.”

Millicent Oywaya:

“My dream home.”

Jevan Kamanja:

“Perfect piece. The problem is presentation.”

Mamake Cole Na Tasha:

"Looks like a school to me, dorms for that matter."

The real estate agent attributed the dull photos to the phone and disclosed that the developer had a hotel idea while constructing the building.
