CREATE MAGICAL MOMENTS BY THE LAKE

- By Vaughn Alviar @INQ_Property

Like a scene from a feel-good movie, you wake up with a smile, jump out of bed with exhilarati­on, head to the kitchen to prepare coffee then take your mug to the patio to appreciate how the rays of the rising sun reflect on the majestic lake.

That’s how mornings are at Catalina Lake Residences, one of the many distinct developmen­ts in the portfolio of trusted builder Sta. Lucia Land Inc. which has been enhancing lifestyles through superb masterplan­ning and execution over the last five decades.

Trust that you will get many great morns when you buy into this expansive project, which is located in Bauan, Batangas, because lakeside residences are in the developer’s wheelhouse, along with resort-inspired enclaves and golf course estates.

Catalina Lake Residences celebrates a 3.3-ha manmade lake, laying everything out so that the water feature becomes the village’s highlight. The lake is ideal for boating and kayaking. It also features a Paradise Island, with a swimming pool, picnic groves and cabanas all set amid lush greenery. You will never get lost heading to it because a lighthouse actually towers on it.

Build a Spanish-Mediterran­ean home or a modish lake house on any of the 392 residen- tial lots, which come in at least 120 sqm in size and arranged in a way that residents get to enjoy the breathtaki­ng views as well as the refreshing vibes of the lake and nearby Batangas Bay. Not only do these homes give you safety and exclusivit­y, they also reward you with health benefits as seeing and being in nature are said to be intrinsica­lly relaxing to the psyche.

The naturally occurring greens and blues likewise encourage an active lifestyle and social cohesion as well. Catalina Lakeside Residences complement­s that with topnotch features and amenities. Roads and pathways pose no problem to walkers, joggers and bikers. Neighbors can also gather at the two clubhouses—a sports clubhouse with a gym, swimming pool, function room, coffee shop and courts; and a community clubhouse with its own pool. Rest assured the property is secured by skilled security personnel.

Indeed, the property celebrates serenity and privacy, but it does not deny homeowners certain convenienc­es. Catalina Lake Residences is near ports, hospitals, schools, the public market and malls, among others. In no time, you can get to the cities of Lipa and Batangas, even tourist destinatio­ns in Laguna and Cavite. Manila is around two hours away, making the project ideal for work-from-home and hybrid setups.

Another strong point is the stock of 37 commercial lots. Business-minded people get to dabble in their interest while placing convenienc­es even nearer to the community. When the establishm­ents there flourish—which is only a matter of time judging by the project’s location, its features and, of course, Sta. Lucia’s track record—value appreciati­on is inevitable.

That will be more reason for days at Catalina Lake Residences to begin like those feel-good movies do.
