A Different State of Mind
Enkoi Lelio is a collection of seven private cottages set on 3.5 acres along the boundary of the Lolldaiga Conservancy, beneath the gaze of Mount Kenya. Here, the highlands of Laikipia offer something increasingly rare — stillness, wildness, and beauty that has not been tamed.
Each cottage is designed to sit lightly on the land, shaped by its contours and cooled by its breezes. Mornings begin with mist lifting off the river and the calls of birds that have never learned to be quiet. Evenings end around fire, under a sky uninterrupted by city light.
The Cottages
At Enkoi Lelio, a combination of unique design, and nature's touch make off-grid living a reality.
Expansive Views
Our site is surrounded by beautiful vistas of Mt. Kenya, Lolldaiga Hills and the Aberdares, all within walking distance of a conservancy.
Nature's Treasures
The Lolldaiga Hills rise and fall like a long, slow breath. Ancient cedar forests cling to the ridgelines while the valley below opens wide.
River frontage
The amenities zone at Enkoi Lelio sits where the estate meets the river a stone-paved terrace running along the bank of River Timau, with a long pool positioned to catch the afternoon light and the sound of moving water on both sides.
“Immerse yourself in the seamless fusion of timeless architecture and magnificent landscapes, where each home has a story to tell.”

The Developer
Marcel Arelie Holdings
Led by architect and founder Mark Kiarie, alongside project manager Farhia Elmoge, the Enkoi Lelio team brings together design sensitivity, disciplined execution, and strong commercial instinct.
Mark combines architectural training from the University of Nairobi and Pescara, Italy, with a proven entrepreneurial track record, having built and exited high-growth ventures across East and Southern Africa. He brings the vision for how Enkoi Lelio sits in the landscape, how it is positioned in the market, and how it is carried through with ambition and clarity.
Farhia adds institutional-grade development management shaped by years of delivering complex real estate programmes at scale, previously at Acorn Holdings Africa. Her experience in coordinating design, documentation, systems, and delivery ensures that Enkoi Lelio is managed with rigour, precision, and confidence from pre-construction through completion.
