From Juja town driving towards Thika, you go down the Ndarugu river valley (where there are many machined stone cutters). While down there, look out on your left, a dirt road.

There used to be a sample "Kijito" windmill at the junction; don't know whether it is still there.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

That place is in the middle of nowhere.

I wouldn't touch it with 5km pole

@mikiha, you are right.

@GGK, it's not in the middle of nowhere, it can be a prime place if the road is tarmacked.

@popat.. it's not too far as - here are the co-ordinates of the junction 1° 4'57.97"S , 37° 2'26.73"E

NB: Turn left after Juja town, about 800 meters after the turn off you will pass a railway crossing. Bob Harris has a big farm about 2 kms from this railway crossing which has been under coffee plantation.

I have worked on a project around there and that road can be abit dusty during dry season and too much noise from the stone quarries around.

The Bob Harries farm that I know is off the Kamwangi/Gakoe road which is fully tarmacked and is to the left just before the fly-over into Thika town. It is after Witeithie. The Bob Harries family have been growing coffee for decades on a large scale and I suspect this is the land on sale. I know the area fairly well. On the negative side, there is a high crime rate in the area.

Very sad indeed... Even the 900 acre piece in recent papers isn't very far from there. The coffee farms have been a buffer zone for criminals from both sides of highland divide. When the coffee farms go...one cant imagine what will happen. It looks like in 20 years the whole of Kiambu will be urban.
