High living on the greens

Golf may no longer belong exclusively to the arena of sports and leisure. Over at the Mount Malarayat Residential Estates, the game has influenced the design of this exclusive residential community. Built right beside the Mount Malarayat Golf and Country Club, with the golf course at your backyard or a few steps from your front door, the sprawling Residential Estates reflects the game’s noble pedigree in the wide streets lined with stately trees and the rotundas with its well-manicured gardens. Golf’s affiliation with the ecological network of water and foliage is obviously at play in the many gardens with lush foliage, man-made lakes and fountains that dot the development’s open spaces.

Even the three model homes recently unveiled by project developer Active Group — made available for the first time — reflect Mount Malarayat Residential Estates’ quiet elegance, beauty and reverence for nature. The units — called Arianna, Gabrielle and Micaela, all bear the unobtrusive design scheme of the whole complex… making architecture and landscaping essential design statements that echo Nature’s majesty and grandeur. Prices for house & lot packages start from about P8 million.

Designed for a lot area of 422 square meters, the Arianna follows the elegant lines of Contemporary Spanish-style architecture washed with warm earth tones such as beige and brown. Spread across 368 square meters is an upscale home of plush interior space that incorporates a grand staircase, a formal entry foyer, a living room with a high volume ceiling, a wide gourmet kitchen with an island counter top, a pantry and a powder room. Five master suites occupy the second floor and offer a commanding view of the lake and golf course. The Arianna also includes a three-car closed garage with an open area for one additional car, ample garage storage room, front yard landscaping, a laundry area, a maid’s room and a driver’s room.

Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club and Residential Estates is situated at Lipa City, Batangas. It is easily accessible from Metro Manila, right at the center of a vibrant economic growth corridor that stretches from the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) in Laguna to the new Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) in Batangas.
