At 17,057 feet, Mount Kenya gets less attention than its taller counterpart, Mount Kilimanjaro, but Africa’s second-highest mountain offers everything its bigger neighbor does, and then some. The area around the foothills is emerging as a hot spot for residential and commercial real estate. The focus of Mount Kenya Wildlife Estate is the wildlife, with houses clustered around waterholes and salt licks, and views of the Mount Kenya. The development consists of 100 holiday homes on 1,000 acres. Most houses have sold for $330,000 each.
