    If you're not sure where to settle your family in Abuja: this is a fully finished standalone 5-bedroom mansion with its own private compound, in a diplomatic-zone district close to Maitama's schools, hospitals and everyday amenities - with no long commute and no usual Abuja traffic.

    We have done this before

    Buying a home in Nigeria from abroad means trusting people you have not met. Here is what we can show you about ours.

    A buyer who did this from abroad

    One of our Katampe Extension houses was bought by a man living in Texas.

    He did not take our word for any of it. He flew in and ran his own checks: had the plot surveyed, confirmed the governor's consent, saw the Certificate of Occupancy, and obtained his own C of O — and only then closed the purchase with us.

    That is the process we recommend to every buyer abroad, and we will help you run it:

    • Inspect first — in person, by live video, or through someone you trust
    • Verify the title through your own Nigerian lawyer, not ours
    • Survey the property independently
    • Pay only through traceable channels, and only after the checks are done

    We built this one

    This house was built by MR DGN Construction & Developers and is sold by Mansa Luxe Realty — both part of MR DGN Group, a registered Nigerian company group. There is no middleman between you and the owner, and the people who laid the floors are the people answering your questions.

    A serene, secure environment to raise a family

    Katampe Extension is officially a diplomatic zone in the Abuja master plan - the kind of district built for security-conscious residents.

    A diplomatic zone

    Katampe Extension is officially designated a diplomatic zone in the Abuja master plan - the same class of area used for foreign missions and high-security residences.

    Compound security you can see

    In our experience, individual compounds here run their own armed security personnel, and there is ongoing police patrol through the neighbourhood.

    A true standalone home

    This is a standalone 5-bedroom mansion - a fully detached house with its own private compound, not a shared block or an estate unit - with a smart gate system, so you control who comes in.

    On the shoulder of Maitama

    Katampe Extension borders the Murtala Mohammed Expressway and sits next to Maitama, so central Abuja is a direct run, not a cross-town trip.

    Close to everything your family needs

    On the shoulder of Maitama, without Maitama's price tag or Abuja's usual traffic.

    Schools

    Katampe Extension itself is still building out its own school options; families currently use the Maitama and Wuse school cluster, about 10-15 minutes away, which includes some of Abuja's established private and international schools.

    Hospitals

    DEDA Hospital, a specialist private facility, is local to the area. The wider Maitama/Wuse 2 hospital cluster - including the National Hospital - is about 10-15 minutes away for specialist care.

    Recreation

    The IBB Golf Course and Maitama's shopping and dining options are close by, within the same short drive.

    Everyday errands

    Being on Maitama's doorstep means banks, supermarkets and clinics are a short drive, not a long-haul commute across the city.

    Questions families ask us

    Is Katampe Extension safe for a family?

    It is officially a diplomatic zone in the Abuja master plan, and in our experience compounds here run their own armed security alongside police patrols in the neighbourhood. Your own inspection is still the best way to judge this for your family.

    How far are schools and hospitals?

    About 10 to 15 minutes to the Maitama/Wuse cluster for established private and international schools and for specialist hospital care, including the National Hospital. DEDA Hospital is local to Katampe Extension itself.

    Is the home finished and move-in ready?

    Yes. This is a fully finished standalone 5-bedroom detached mansion in its own gated compound, with a home office, a fully fitted kitchen (Bosch microwave, built-in oven, double-door fridge), bespoke Swiss Krono doors with magnetic locks, fitted closets, solar-powered water heaters, a smart home system and premium-quality finishing throughout.

    Is this part of an estate, and can I renovate or extend it?

    No, it is a standalone property, not an estate unit - there are no estate rules governing what you build or change. The house is borehole-powered, with the borehole inside the compound. It has its own water tank and also shares a tank connection with the neighbouring compound, and as the owner you are free to add your own additional tank(s) at any time.

    Can I inspect before deciding?

    Yes. Fill in the short form above or message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange an inspection appointment.

    What is the asking price?

    ₦1,300,000,000, fully finished and ready to move into. Buying direct from us, you pay no agency fee on top of the asking price; the agent who brings a buyer earns the full 5% from us on this MR DGN-owned home.
