MANILA, Philippines - Where can you find a gated community that has no walls yet still promises of security, exclusivity, and prestige? This place is Sentosa Heights at South Forbes Golf City, the largest fully-integrated, self-sustaining, and all-themed golf resort city at the heart of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, honored Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme.
“South Forbes is introducing what is perhaps the most exclusive and celebrated territory in all of South Forbes, right in the heart of our golf course — Sentosa Heights,” announced Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “These fairway lots range from 800-1700 square meters.”
Island Wonder. Sentosa Heights, quite similar to Singapore’s most popular island resort, has become South Forbes’ latest and most prestigious themed enclave with only 29 lots — all offering coveted views of the 18-hole golf course. With its exclusive nature of having limited lots and its location surrounded by nothing but the fairway, it realizes the Malay definition of sentosa, which means peace and tranquility.
Embracing the Earth. The unique design philosophy Asians adhere to is to build and blend with the environment. The Raffles model home follows the slope on the gentle side of the enclave. A prominent roof and white walls dominate, not overwhelm, the whole façade so that it enhances the natural foliage and vice versa.
From the porte cochere, two panel doors serve as a main entrance that opens to a view of the golf course. Every step increases the intensity of the experience of going through the house and appreciating nature from beyond the glass. The patio accommodates a private garden, and beside it, an infinity-edge pool that creates the illusion of extending to the lake of the golf course.
The bedroom wing to one side of the house retains its privacy from the more social parts of the house. The main level extends to the master suite where the masters of the house will wake up to a glorious sunrise that kisses the manicured fairways and a placid lake. Three other bedrooms are located on the cooler lower level that opens up to the garden.
Reaching for the Skies. The Stamford model unit is undisputedly the most intrepid among all model homes within and beyond South Forbes, being built on the steepest side of the enclave. It is a slender home that soars four storeys high where all rooms have superb fairway views with generous sunlight and cool breeze, guaranteeing its residents perfect relaxation.
From the road, a simple pristine-white wall conceals a front lawn on one side with a four-car garage on the other. One reaches the foyer via a stone-paved entry walk where a linear pool runs alongside its length. Upon entering, a glass corridor leads to the dining area and kitchen.
