The Different Faces of Leisure

CEBU, Philippines - Homes were once built merely to provide dwelling: houses which afforded no more than shelter and small pleasures. But times have changed and as life becomes busier and more stressful, the need for leisure is growing as well.

Anticipating this need, Landco has developed leisure communities all over the country to meet the different aspirations of Filipinos. For almost two decades, Landco has continued to delight homeowners through the different faces of leisure, while revolutionizing the Philippine real estate industry with many first-of-its-kind concepts.

The great outdoors

In the 90s, Landco pioneered the development of Peninsula de Punta Fuego in Nasugbu, Batangas – just as the Philippines was daunted by the Asian economic crisis. The private and exclusive Spanish-Mediterranean inspired residential resort community offers world-class amenities and a rich array of natural features. In spite of the crisis, the project sold briskly—a phenomenon only explained by its concept which resonated with its buyers: an 88-hectare flame-shaped peninsula, providing the most luxurious seaside sanctuary for the country’s most discriminating set.

The success of the Peninsula inspired its follow-up, Terrazas de Punta Fuego, which is located along the white sand beach of Nasugbu, Batangas and extends to lush mountains. Its highest elevation called The Peak affords wonderful scenic views of either the Batangas mountain range or the South China Sea. Within the Terrazas community is Amara En Terrazas, Punta Fuego’s ocean front condominiums offering the convenience of premier seaside condo-living—each of its limited 95 units provide a wonderful vista of Terrazas beach and the South China Sea.

Fun side of the beach

For the more hip and active who desire both comfort and fun, Landco’s Playa Series: Playa Calatagan, Playa Laiya, and Playa Azalea are the ultimate beach home destinations perfect for that undisturbed barefoot walk along the beach or that dinner party with friends in the trendiest bars and restaurants across the road.

These leisure tourism estates are envisioned to be popular hubs in their respective areas with complete resort amenities and modern commercial facilities. While homeowners enjoy the privacy of their own exclusive village, beach club with pools, and beach front—they are also just a walk away from the fun and activity that the commercial development offers through hotels and resorts, bars and restaurants as well as retail stores.

Farm and garden homes

 But for those whose idea of leisure is getting their “hands dirty,” Leisure Farms in Lemery, Batangas is a place where you can truly “reap what you sow.” Leisure Farms’ hobby-farmers indulge in harvesting farm-fresh produce grown right in their backyards.

Those with green thumbs, would just love Ponderosa Leisure Farms, a Mexican-Spanish themed flower-garden community. With the perfectly cool climate in Silang, Cavite, (Tagaytay-like weather) homeowners (many of whom are garden enthusiasts) look forward to growing beautiful flowers like honeysuckle, kamuning, jade vines, and even pine trees.

Comforts of home

They say “there’s no place like home.” Landco knows this by heart and takes the homeowner back to his hometown, where his heart is, through its hometown communities: blue-label primary homes located in the provinces across the country such as WoodGrove Park in Pampanga, Waterwood Park in Bulacan, The Courtyard at Lakewood Golf Estates in Cabanatuan, Montelago Nature Estates in Laguna, Woodside Garden Village in Pangasinan, and Woodridge Garden Village in Zamboanga City.

These are are high-end residential subdivisions featuring a range of leisure and resort amenities set in nature’s abundance. Family life will be leisurely and beautiful in these quiet, secure, and exclusive hometown communities.

Resort living in the city

 A touch of leisure living is most needed in the metro, and Landco brings leisure to the urban dweller with its urban communities: TRIbeca Private Residences,Landco’s condominium development in Sucat, Muntinlupa, Stonecrest in San Pedro Laguna, and Monterrazas de Cebu in Cebu City. These are premier residential developments providing homeowners first-class leisure and resort amenities right in the heart of the city—offering that much needed respite, peace and quiet from the stress and noise of daily urban living.
