Pieces of paradise
OWNING a piece of paradise is now made easier as developers continue to build prime residential properties that feature worldclass golf courses and beach- like resort amenities.
Property seekers may choose a house in the middle of a professionally designed golf course, a cabin or cluster overlooking the mountains and eco parks, or a high- rise property possessing zen-like gardens and relaxing pool areas.
Prime property developers have become more specific to cater to different clients, taking into consideration their customers’ lifestyle and discerning tastes.
The Philippines has many golf properties that attract both enthusiasts and those who live for the game. The first- class, beautiful houses situated around these courses complement the greeneries around them.
Sta. Elena Golf & Country Estate in Santa Rosa, Laguna features a community of themed houses built around, and within a 27-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones II. For golfers, the view of the fairway can be inspiring. In the fringes of the golf course, there lies greenery and active parks and a wildlife sanctuary.
Another premiere leisure development in the South is Tagaytay Highlands, developed by the SM Group of Companies. It features golf and country clubs, restaurants, worldclass amenities and premium residential communities.
Ayala Land, Inc., meanwhile, has seaside residential community Anvaya Cove located in Morong Bataan that has a beach, nature club and golf courses. Because of its close proximity to nature, its developers incorporate safe and environmental-friendly solutions to maintain the resort.
Suntrust Ecotown Developers, Inc. has launched Suntrust Ecotown Tanza in Cavite. It features a mini golf course, driving range, putting greens and swimming pools. The property is also close to Sherwood Hills Golf and Country Club.
For people who love the sea, the country also has some of the best beach residential properties.
