Kenyans have been treated to a rare glimpse of President William Ruto's private residence in Kilgoris, Narok County, following the circulation of photographs and videos showcasing the expansive property.
The property recently attracted attention during the traditional wedding ceremony of Ruto's daughter, Charlene Ruto, held on August 8, 2026. The colourful Koito ak Chaik ceremony brought together family members, government officials, politicians and other prominent guests.
Photographs shared during the occasion offered Kenyans an opportunity to view parts of the residence, including its spacious interiors, modern furnishings and impressive architectural design.
According to media reports, the expansive property features a three-storey residential building with numerous rooms, large balconies and modern architectural finishes. Its interior boasts elegant fittings, marble flooring and spacious living areas.
The residence also forms part of a larger agricultural establishment where the President engages in various farming activities, including livestock rearing and crop production.
In August 2026, Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo shared videos showing Ruto giving him a tour of the expansive farm. The footage captured the President showcasing his cattle, sheep and macadamia plantations.
The Kilgoris property has also served as a venue for hosting prominent international guests. In December 2024, Ruto welcomed Ghanaian President-elect John Dramani Mahama to the residence for discussions on bilateral relations and economic cooperation.
He also hosted Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud at the property in June 2026, further highlighting its role in hosting private engagements involving international leaders.
The residence has consequently attracted public interest, with Kenyans expressing curiosity about the President's private lifestyle and agricultural investments.
For many observers, the photographs and videos offer a glimpse into another side of Ruto's life away from State House, highlighting his interest in farming, family gatherings and rural living.
While Sugoi in Uasin Gishu County remains closely associated with the President's background, Intona Heritage Farm has increasingly featured in major family celebrations and private engagements.
