Lake Muhazi, roughly an hour east of Kigali in Rwamagana District, is one of the few large lakes within easy reach of the capital, and it has become the setting for a new wave of eco-conscious second homes and holiday-let investments. This villa development sits directly on the lakeshore, built around sustainable local materials — Ikoro stone, gabion walls, raffia panels, bamboo thatch and rammed earth — rather than a conventional concrete-and-tile finish.
Villas are offered as one-bedroom (130 sqm) and two-bedroom (185 sqm) configurations, both furnished or unfurnished, with every unit designed around indoor-outdoor bathrooms, an open-concept kitchen and living space, and direct lake views.

Ownership structure
Units are sold under a 49-year leasehold agreement, with the estate managed by a registered Rwandan entity that handles legal compliance, tax obligations and ongoing maintenance on behalf of owners. This is a different ownership model from a freehold city property, and worth understanding fully before committing — we recommend reading our property due diligence guide alongside the developer's own lease documentation, and asking us for the full disclosure pack before paying a deposit.
Payment plan
Construction-linked payment schedule:
- 30% on signing the agreement
- 20% after 3 months
- 20% after a further 3 months
- 15% after a further 3 months
- 10% after a further 3 months
- 5% final payment one month later
Custom payment structures can be discussed directly with our team.
Estate features
- 24/7 security and gated access
- Solar power and rainwater harvesting
- Hiking trails, birdwatching areas and a campsite zone
- Ongoing landscaping and estate maintenance, with optional remote property management
This is a longer-horizon, lifestyle-and-yield investment rather than a straightforward city resale — best suited to buyers comfortable with a leasehold structure outside central Kigali. Talk to us about how it fits alongside a city-based real estate investment strategy.

See our title verification process for full detail. Title status on this listing: 49-year leasehold, managed by a registered Rwandan entity — final documentation is provided to buyers before any payment is made.
