DOLLY ESTATE USA RIVER, TANZANIA This gorgeous 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, is set on a magnificent 27.5 hectares (68 acres), high on a hill, in sought-after Dolly Estate.
Here you are in the heart of Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, where the thriving town of Usa River offers all the facilities and amenities expected, self-drive safaris are pure indulgence, and you are only a four-hour drive from Nairobi.
Dolly Estate is a secure residential estate that offers an unrivalled lifestyle. There is a polo club on the grounds, a championship golf course within a stone’s throw, together with a private airstrip ideal for the short hop to Serengeti National Park. Kennedy House International School is a 10-minute run by car.
This home is a thoughtful blend of design and comfort. Across rolling lawns with unobstructed views of majestic Mount Meru, an outdoor lounge beckons you to stay a-while. This spacious living room forms the hub of the home, providing access into both the lounge, with its built-in shelves and fireplace, and the dining-room that’s the perfect spot from which to watch the sun set over the nearby infinity pool.
The adjoining kitchen - with ample storage space for fridges and freezers, a laundry and scullery - has seen many large parties successfully catered. While beyond the kitchen lies a secluded terrace with bar-b-cue, that takes in views across the bush and passing wildlife.
The outdoor lounge also provides access to a second lounge with fireplace, a study, guest WC, and main bedroom. Located within this second substantial wing of 120 sqm, the main bedroom is en-suite with a walk-in dressing-room, and also opens onto a private terrace.
There are two further generous bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, situated in an adjoining cottage just two metres from the main home. Both bedrooms have garden views and separate entrances.
The four-acre garden immediately surrounding the house is an oasis of rolling lawns and specifically planted trees. The garden is surrounded by a secure electrified fence, and boasts a coffee/cocktail ‘island’, perfectly situated for viewing sunrises and sunsets.
The current owners have substantially improved the property including the installation of a new thatch roof, electrical wiring and plumbing.
There is also a vegetable garden, 45,000L of water storage, a 20KVa generator, and a 2-bedroom staff house. Electricity provision is via LUKU, with both a back- up inverter and a generator. There are two separate pipelines that supply water from Usa River, and the property has a borehole.
Thoughtful provision has also been made for future expansion with the installation of electrics and water points around the perimeter to support irrigation and/or the construction of further accommodation – either for commercial use or possible sub-division.
Outside the main garden lies 64 acres of grass and bush that has been both grazed and cleared. What remains is the ideal height for browsing Zebra, Eland, Impala, Gazelle, Lesser Kudu, Bushbuck, and Wildebeest to browse.
To round off this desirable property, a 30-minute drive gets you to the gate of Arusha National Park, the nearby city of Arusha, and Kilimanjaro International Airport. In three hours, you can be inside beautiful Tarangire National Park, famous for its bird and elephant viewing.
