Amiya Raya brings a new spin to the modern way of life

MANILA, Philippines - Finding the best possible home can be a difficult job. What with the numerous choices available and factors to consider — from the overall setting to location, accessibility, design elements, suitable facilities, and security concerns — house-hunting can be a headache.

Despite this, first-time buyers also experience the thrill of the hunt especially for young individuals looking for their own pad and new families looking for their dream home. With the world going pro-environment, it’s hard to dismiss the new real estate development that is Amiya Raya in the mountains of San Mateo, Rizal, which pays attention not only to a comfortable lifestyle but also to a harmonious co-existence with nature.

The idea of living on a mountain has steadily risen in various parts of the country. It has grown to be a commodity so definitive in the real estate industry that it has become a symbol of affluence. But how would one capture the spirit of luxurious mountain living and sell it sensibly? How would one make it appear fresh yet attractive enough for purists? And how would one construct it while addressing the conventional issues surrounding an extravagant lifestyle? Amiya Raya satisfies all those requirements and then some. 

More than its new tropical internationalism design or limitless magnificent views, what makes Amiya Raya such a sought-after district is its versatility. Amiya Raya is an exclusive village, clubhouse, and park all rolled into one. Just when it seems that real estate has lost its knack for conceptualizing great home ideas, Amiya Raya has come at the right time to fix things up.

With Amiya Raya, it’s not just about having the best architectural design or having forward-looking amenities and celebrity endorsers. Amiya Raya is about creating an experience that seamlessly manages to bring the best of what it can offer to residents and future inhabitants. By fusing the natural habitat with manmade elements in a sprawling 36.5-hectare property (11.6 hectares of which are allotted to the nature park), Amiya Raya has managed to exceed the expectations of individuals, couples, and families with discriminating tastes.

So far, the biggest palate pleaser in Amiya Raya is the vast nature park situated neatly at the fringes of the village where free-roaming flora and fauna blossoms right before the residents’ eyes. The park adds a touch of uncultivated appeal and preserves the area’s wild character, something that is sorely lacking in upscale highland communities where manicured lawns and picture-perfect gardens dominate the landscape. Of course, that’s not to say Amiya Raya doesn’t have them. As a matter of fact, the community gives residents more bang for their buck by combining polished and raw beauty.

Its own park is keen to provide plenty of reasons to ensure Amiya Raya maintains its first-home status among city workers. This 11.6-hectare nature reserve delivers a balance of recreation, therapy, and conservation. Features like bike and running trails are especially created for health and fitness enthusiasts. Whether for intense physical activities or a simple means to capture sunshine and fresh air, Amiya Raya’s trails are the stuff made for family and friends. Even kids can frolic in the park without parents worrying about their safety. The elderly and handicapped can expect more freedom in the vast expanse of lush greenery and clear blue skies.

The park also comes with a good level of biodiversity owing to its untouched state, which makes for a more personal learning experience especially for children. In addition to the trails, it features various aesthetically pleasing greenbelts and linear parks as well as large picnic and camping grounds for making memorable moments with family and friends and socializing with fellow residents. Another good thing about having a nature park is the realization that homeowners can protect the environment.

Amiya Raya leapfrogs over its competitors with inspiring design and functionality seen in the four available models with equally inspiring names: Layla is a two-story, three-bedroom unit in 67 sq.m. meant for fostering close family ties; Ramya is slightly bigger at 86 sq.m. Both have lanais, a garage, and attic expansion options. Asha and Trishna features bigger areas and utilize an upslope and downslope terrain for wonderful views of the city or the mountains. All the houses share a similar trait with the village amenities.
