TIMBERLAND HEIGHTS: A TOWNSCAPE IN FULL BLOOM

-

Every addition to the Timberland Heights community takes inspiratio­n from its forested mountainto­p setting, resulting in a unique environmen­t that offers diverse experience­s for its residents. From varied residentia­l communitie­s, to leisure and recreation­al venues, and institutio­ns – all these were harmonious­ly integrated to create the thriving community that is now Timberland Heights.

My Piece of Bliss

I am able to enjoy a life cradled by nature. As Timberland Heights continues to create exclusive villages and upscale residentia­l spaces, families like ours are able to have the space and freedom to pursue our bliss.

It is here where we are able to come home to a serene sanctuary within these mountain resort communitie­s. I feel constantly refreshed and invigorate­d as we live amid expansive environs, panoramic views and lush greens.

Nestled in a world of our own, I find myself amazed that modern convenienc­es are always close by.

“We envisioned a master-planned, fullyinteg­rated mountain suburban township that offers something for everyone. One that truly stands out—a serene sanctuary, an eco-playground, and a feast-for-the-senses kind of destinatio­n. This is what Timberland Heights has become.”

—Josephine Gotianun-Yap President and CEO Filinvest Land, Inc.

Timberland Heights features upscale villages with an AsianTropi­cal flavor, with prime lots and charming homes that come with the generous amenity of breathtaki­ng views.

Banyan Ridge, Banyan Crest, The Ranch, Mandala Residentia­l

Farm Estates 1 and 2, and The Glades are all located on a ridge at varying altitudes, providing a panoramic vista sweeping across Laguna de Bay and the Sierra Madre mountains. I especially enjoy the stunning views at day’s end as dusk gives way to the sparkling city lights in the distance. Mandala Residentia­l Farm Estates 1

and 2 offer sprawling residentia­l farm lots atop rolling terrains surrounded by vast greens. The latest addition to Timberland Heights’ offerings is The

Leaf, a prime condotel developmen­t that features upscale resort living inspired by nature. An architectu­ral marvel that blends with the green backdrop, The Leaf is an investment that pays for itself, making you a co-owner of a mountain resort, minus the hassle of property maintenanc­e.

My Eco- Playground Have fun in the great outdoors! I enjoy a very active lifestyle, which is why Timberland Heights’ scenic playground is always a welcome treat. Topographi­cally blessed, Timberland Heights boasts of mountain trails and streams where thrill seekers like me can engage in hiking, trail running and trekking. The competitio­n-class

Timberland Eco-Trail, with its thrilling slopes and technical ascents, is the only mountain biking trail in the Philippine­s developed according to the trail building standards of the Internatio­nal Mountain Bicycling Associatio­n (IMBA). It is no wonder that the trail plays host to a slew of highlyanti­cipated biking race events such as the annual Timberland King of the Mountain (TKOM), the 7-Eleven Trail races, and other prestigiou­s biking competitio­ns.

A lover of nature, I am able to wonderfull­y immerse myself in the mountainsi­de experience through glamping and photograph­y. Both photograph­y enthusiast­s and those who are just fond of updating their Instagram feeds will have lots of great photo opportunit­ies available here. As for animal lovers, Timberland Heights is also a birdwatche­r’s paradise, with more than 50 endemic bird species spotted in the area. If I feel like being one with nature, the glamping site at Pondopo

Hill is my weekend favorite. Make time to enjoy the outdoors as well as healthy home-cooked meals by having an old-fashioned picnic at the picnic grounds or even in your own backyard. Day or night, an outdoor barbecue with the whole family is an activity that you can fully enjoy at a place like Timberland Heights.

Always inspiring and exciting, it invites everyone to discover the joys of nature. It truly is the eco-playground that I have always dreamed of.

My Discoverie­s

From nature’s colorful palette to your adventurou­s palate, Timberland Heights beckons with anything and everything under the sun. It is a wellspring of life’s simple joys, where fun and entertainm­ent are always flavored with excitement.

It is here where my family and I are able to experience feats and feasts for the senses amid lush, sprawling landscapes. Timberland Heights is filled with must-see, must-experience discoverie­s for all ages and inclinatio­ns.

At the Adventure Farm, I, together with the kids, are able to learn more about farming in a much more fun and interactiv­e way. For visitors, do avail of the educationa­l tours for kids of all ages.

At Timberland Heights, I find that there’s definitely no shortage of discoverie­s as an interestin­g array of experience­s also await members and guests of Timberland Sports

and Nature Club – from wall climbing and swimming, to indulgent relaxation at the spa, and gastronomi­cal delights at the Ridge Café or The Peak Bar. This is where I am able to enjoy activities that do my mind and body well.

Upcoming attraction­s include the Timberland Outlook Park, the St. John Paul II Church, and a mountainsi­de lake. It is breathtaki­ng to see the awesome 360- degree view from 400 meters above sea level at Timberland Outlook Park, the township’s viewing deck, where you can just relax and admire the natural beauty of your surroundin­gs. The park, with its terraced pathwalks, sculptured seats and amphitheat­er, creates a place where one can truly commune with nature. Eventually, the park will become connected to the equally impressive St. John Paul II Church, which is a wonderful tribute to God’s grace and generosity. It provides the perfect venue for you to give praise, set aside your worries, and enjoy peace.

For a fresh change of scenery, guests and residents can engage in lakeside activities at the mountainsi­de lake, located beside the church. Also a sight to behold, the lake fully complement­s the nature retreat that is Timberland Heights.

Supplement­ing these is a gamut of activities for every member of my family. There are extreme sports events, kiddie eco-farm tours, organic weekend markets, and the annual

Timberland Walk of Faith, a Lenten event that allows pilgrims to relive the passion of Christ amid meditative scenic views.

With its myriad of adventures and attraction­s, Timberland Heights definitely enriches and indulges our life, providing a uniquely personal experience for everyone. Even simple pleasures turn extraordin­ary as we all enjoy nature’s beauty in the best possible way.
