A second home for butterflies and people

OH YES, IT'S JOHNNY! - Johnny Litton -
Have you ever thought about owning a second home? Perhaps a vacation house where you can escape the stress of city life every once in a while. A place where your kids can play amid a green and pristine environment, while you and your spouse can relax in a cozy cabin with all the comforts of home.

Well, all you need to do is look north to Baguio and you will find a paradise like no other. The people at CJH Hay Development Corporation (CJH DevCo) have developed Camp John Hay and turned it into a prime ecotourism destination where one can choose from among the different residential estates this place has to offer. The Camp John Hay Estates blends perfectly with either a pine forest backdrop or a majestic view of the fairways. The area is also peppered with parks, lush gardens, and verdant picnic spots, making it an ideal place to bring up the family.

There are exquisite designs of two-storey houses with attics to choose from. Each has its own unique, yet elegant design, made of special materials such as imported red cedar logs from North America. There are Country Homes, Country Log Homes, Luxury Log Homes and Forest Cabin.

One of the main attractions of Camp John Hay is the ecotourism component of the project. With almost 50 percent of the entire property being developed by CJH DevCo is a lush pine forest, this forest reserve area becomes the living library of nature that provides outdoor learning experience for everybody. A 2-kilometer Eco-trail is one of the features of this botanical preserve where homeowners and their guests can indulge in fun and healthy outdoor activities such as a leisurely walk with nature, picnic under the canopy of pines, hiking, camping and a whole lot more.

Other highlights of the Camp John Hay experience include the Historical Core where people can relive the glorious and colorful past of CJH, a Butterfly Sanctuary that houses a wide variety of butterflies, a mini golf course and a horseback-riding trail in the forest.

Of course, no discussion of Camp John Hay is be complete without mentioning the Jack Nicklaus-designed Par 69 Championship Golf course. The golf course does not only meet international standards, but also surpasses current environmental standards as well. To complement the golf course, a Clubhouse made of red cedar logs complete with all the modern facilities is also open to service its members and guests.

To top it off, Camp John Hay is now developing the Town Center, which will become the main commercial and recreation hub with specialty shops, restaurants, business centers, and the like. The Mile-Hi Center, which serves as the Camp’s interim commercial facility houses a duty-free shop, boutiques and souvenir shops, home-grown restaurants and cafés famous for theirs delectable menus.

So why not pass by Baguio sometime soon? Once you get there, you just might decide not to leave anymore!
