50x100 Plots for Sale in Kikuyu: Size, Location and Value

When buyers search for 50x100 plots for sale in Kikuyu, they are usually looking for land for a family home or for future residential development. This size is popular because it can accommodate a house, parking and outdoor space, depending on your building design and the applicable planning rules.

How Big Is a 50x100 Plot?

A standard 50x100 plot measures 50 feet by 100 feet, which is about 5,000 square feet or roughly 465 square metres. In Kenya it is often described as close to an eighth of an acre, although an exact eighth is slightly larger at 5,445 square feet.

How much of that space you can build on depends on the plot’s shape, the required setbacks and local planning requirements. Always confirm the real measurements with a qualified surveyor before you buy.

What Can You Build on a 50x100 Plot?

• A bungalow or maisonette with parking and a garden.
• A family home with a small servants’ quarter or guest wing, where permitted.
• A modest rental development, subject to zoning and county approvals.

Your architect will work out what fits once the setbacks and coverage rules are known.
