The former Ruaka home of Kenyan celebrity couple Bahati and Diana Marua is now officially on the market, attracting attention due to its price tag and celebrity history. The property offers a rare look into the couple’s previous residence before they moved into their current mansion in 2022.
Located in a gated community in Banana, Ruaka, the house sits within a secure compound surrounded by a perimeter wall topped with an electric fence. Access is through a black gate that opens into a mostly paved compound, with a small section of grass adding contrast to the cemented outdoor space.
The house features a modest veranda that leads directly into a stylish living room. The living area includes a ready-made TV wall, recessed shelves for décor and LED lighting that gives the space a modern finish. From the living room, the layout flows into an open-plan kitchen designed for functionality. The kitchen also has a rear exit that opens to the back of the house.
A corridor from the kitchen leads to the first bedroom, whose window faces the front gate. The interior layout reflects a practical family home that is well maintained and move-in ready.
According to a video shared online on Thursday, 22 January, the house is listed at KSh 13 million. The price has sparked debate, with many observers questioning whether the former association with Bahati and Diana Marua has influenced the valuation. Others feel the cost is high when compared to similar properties in the Ruaka area.
Bahati and Diana officially vacated the home in 2022 when they relocated to their current mansion. At the time, Diana shared footage of the move, showing a professional moving team handling their belongings. She stressed the high value of items in their new home, noting that even the least expensive artwork was worth KSh 100,000.
Years later, the listing of their former house has renewed interest in the property. For potential buyers, it presents a chance to own a home once occupied by one of Kenya’s most high-profile celebrity couples. Whether the KSh 13 million asking price reflects market value or celebrity influence remains a key point of discussion among property watchers.
