For such is the ambience at the residential community by the outstanding 27-hole Sta. Elena Golf Course in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Living there is like a perpetual holiday, what with its breathtaking views of the greens, half-a-million trees, serene lakes, cutting-edge landscaping and luxurious facilities.
Only 45 minutes away from Metro Manila, this exclusive 103-lot enclave is a nature lover’s dream. It is home to 1,400 plant species, 150 species of rare Philippine forest trees, and 102 species of birds and various butterflies.
As one explores the property, natural surprises reveal themselves in every corner. A real-live kingfisher nestling by a lake. A school of bass swimming in the lagoon. A bato-bato peeking out of the bamboo. A patch of wild flowers by a footpath. A flock of birds flying over the fairway.
Sta. Elena Properties executive vice president and general manager Bienvenido "Rico" Tantoco Jr. says it quite succinctly: "Sta. Elena offers a home where nature and a well-managed ecological environment are top-of-mind. It offers a world-class community with thriving plant and animal life, well away from the stress and pollution of the city."
Tantoco’s vision was shared by premier master planner Palafox Associates, renowned golf designer Robert Trent Jones Jr. and architectural firm E.T. Cañiza & Associates. Together they converted vast sugarlands into a model community of residence, rest and recreation – backed by a one-million liter underground water reservoir and a 100-percent stand-by generator back-up power supply.
But what makes Sta. Elena Village truly livable is its family orientation. It is in the vicinity of schools like Brent, La Salle and St. Scholastica’s as well as the high-tech Asian Hospital. It has its own Balinese-style clubhouse that boasts of a swimming pool, game room and library. Soon, a recreation and sports park consisting of a basketball court, a pavilion, a playground, a picnic grove, a football field and a tennis court will rise by the golf course. All this, against a backdrop of the majestic Mount Makiling!
A hundred an three residential lots for single-detached family homes ranging from 580 to 1100 square meters are now available.
