All systems go for Laguna Properties farm estates in Lipa City, Batangas

With site development now going full blast, Laguna Properties Holdings, Inc. (LPHI) is ready to introduce in the market a master-planned community in Lipa City that will combine farming and recreation with residential use.

On Sept. 12, LPHI will formally launch Hacienda Sta. Monica – an integrated country estate development –and Villa Sta. Monica – an exclusive residential subdivision that will cater mainly to so-called weekend farmers and those who want to build houses in an estate setting.

Already, a 20-meter-wide spine road is being built to ensure maximum access and mobility within these developments. Later this year, LPHI will also start constructing the projects’ common amenities and facilities.

Hacienda Sta. Monica is a 64-hectare development that will offer farm lots ranging from 750 to 1,500 sq.m. (priced at P1,800 per sq.m.) as well as hacienda lots with sizes between 4,000 and 6,000 sq. m. (priced at P1,200 per sq. m.).

The bigger lots are ideal for recreational and commercial farming, which can include growing fruits, flowers, vegetables and ornamental plants as well as aquaculture. Interest in the project has been overwhelming. Prospective buyers are encouraged by the possibility of earning a profit by selling their produce to a ready market.

Through a tie-up with Family Farm School (an agricultural school in Lipa), lot owners at Hacienda Sta. Monica may avail of farm caretaker/maintenance services, farm consultancy and farm design services. The school will also offer Agritex organic technology farming.

Under a similar tie-up with Flower Factory and Javiland Palms (both owned by businessman Sandy Javier) lot owners may also buy ornamental plants, fruit-bearing trees and palm varieties with 10 percent to 15 percent discount.

Villa Sta. Monica, on the other hand, is a 30-hectare residential village with lot sizes between 150 and 300 square meters. It will be designed in such a way that it can accommodate existing LPHI houses.

Both developments will share the community’s exclusive clubhouse amenities to include a multi-purpose hall, swimming pool, meditative garden, basketball court, jogging path, nature trail and landscaped playground. Electric, telephone and cable facilities as well as 24-hour security will be provided.
