Gilgil · Kenya

A private farmhouse
in the heart of the Rift Valley

Two farmhouses. One working ranch. An unhurried escape where the only schedule is sunrise over the acacia, and hoofbeats across the plains.

Welcome

An estate for those who seek stillness.

Nestled in the highlands of Gilgil, Pax Ranch House offers an intimate kind of luxury — two fully private farmhouses set across a working horse and cattle ranch, available exclusively to one family or party at a time. No lobby. No neighbours. Only the land, the horses, and the quiet.

Farmhouse veranda
The Farmhouses

Two houses. One estate. Entirely yours.

Choose between The Main House — a five-bedroom colonial farmstead with wraparound veranda — or The Cottage, a four-bedroom retreat tucked beside the paddocks. Each is taken as a whole, ensuring your party is the only one in residence.

Open fireplaces, linen-dressed beds, and kitchens stocked from the estate garden. A housekeeper and chef are on hand; the pace is yours to set.

Horses
The Ranch

A working farm, open to those who stay.

Ride out at dawn through fever-tree woodland. Take an ATV across the ridgeline to watch the mist rise off Lake Elmenteita. Help bring the cattle in at dusk — or simply sit on the veranda and let the day pass.

Horses and ATVs are yours for the asking, with guides who know every track on the land.
