MONTECITO

In 1983, former Canlubang Sugar Estate president Jose Yulo, Jr. and his wife
Regina made a momentous decision to leave the congestion of the city and build a
home in the family’s Laguna plantation. Drawn to the balance of rural and urban
life that its ideal location provided, Mr. Yulo returned to his beloved land and
built a “grandfather house” that had provisions for self-sustainability, such as
its own mini-hydroelectric plant and water system.

This lake fed by a natural spring that flows through Montecito is the first sight that greets residents upon entering the property. Tilapia is grown in the lake, which is also home to a few ducks. The lake serves a dual purpose of irrigating the landscape and enhancing the neighborhood’s atmosphere of tranquility.


The eclectic look that resulted from combining vintage furniture that came with the old house and new pieces that were brought in make Montecito’s guest pavilion a must-see. A large balcony wraps around the main hall, exposing the interior to the breezes and beauty of the gardens below.


The Matang Tubig (“eye of the water”), an artesian spring coming from the ridges of Tagaytay, runs through Montecito at a rate of 3,000 gallons per minute. The flow is strong enough to power a mini-hydroelectric plant in the property, which generates electricity to light main streets.


The original Yulo house in Montecito that was built in the 1980’s was designed by the late Leandro Locsin, a Yulo relative. This house has been reconditioned by the Yulo family and now serves as a guest pavilion for the neighborhood’s visitors.
