Touch of distinction at South Forbes

MANILA, Philippines - Don’t you wish you could wake up every morning, walk to your front step to pick up the newspaper, breath fresh air in, and look at the clear blue sky without those dangling electric wires sagging and swaying with the wind? Those are just plain eyesores and surely you’ll agree.

South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, created The Mansions, a gated community of Asian-themed villages of three different lifestyles, where the primary appeals are the promise of improved security and cleanliness and quality appearance are strictly maintained for the benefit of all its residents.

“The Mansions is an exclusive enclave of three themed lifestyle villages: Bali Mansions, Tokyo Mansions, and Phuket Mansions,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “Electrical utilities and the like are underground, making this whole resort-inspired community pleasing to the eyes with no suspended wires to hinder one’s view of the relaxing environs.”

The Raffles home from the Fairways collection enjoys coveted views of the manicured greens of the golf course.

Breathtaking Bali. All in search of a combination lifestyle of tropical indoor-outdoor living, island charm, an exotic culture, and modern conveniences visit the beach resorts of Bali. Bali Mansions features four posh model mansions – Coralia, Candidasa, Lovina, and Nusa Dua -- all named after popular beach spots in Bali. The exclusive Bali Mansions Clubhouse and its adjoining amenities inlcude a 25-meter adult lap pool, children’s pool, two private social halls, two-storey view deck, basketball court, and pocket parks. The clubhouse is thoroughly enigmatic at night as evident in the delightful play of light reflecting on the surrounding pools.

“Our Bali buyers have already built their own homes as inspired by our model mansions and have moved in, making Bali Mansions a thriving community,” Ng said.

Tranquil Tokyo. The aesthetic awareness of the Japanese, who generally love simplicity and profound subtlety, personifies the spirit of Zen – the central theme of every home, the clubhouse and other amenities that make up Tokyo Mansions.

Tokyo Mansions, where homes named after Japanese periods, Edo, Showa, Taisho, Heisei, Meiji, and Yamato, is inspired by both traditional and modern elements of Japanese design, providing the means for the mind to become acutely sensitive to the simple, small matters that are often blanketed by daily life.

The Tokyo Mansions clubhouse exudes balance through symmetry.

A majestic clubhouse towers high alongside rows of tall anahaw trees and a base of colorful bougainvillea and black natural stones. Its roof is its most prominent element as it has always been the defining feature of classical Thai architecture. A function hall enclosed in glass are integral to harmonize with nature, creating a seamless blend between interior and exterior. A 25-meter infinity lap pool presents a scene of sheer tranquility with the illusion of water flowing down the river below.
