MONTECITO

Montecito is an exclusive residential community of just 300 lots, spread over a 60-hectare stretch of prime property in Canlubang, Laguna. An easy 20-minute drive from Alabang (or 45 minutes from Makati), Montecito is designed to promote health of mind, body, and spirit. Urban dwellers who are worried about the effects of stress and pollution on their lives and the health of their families will find that space and fresh air are in great abundance in this former coconut plantation. With extra-large lot cuts that range from 535-1,200 square meters, Montecito is ideal for people who have an appreciation for estate living in an all-natural environment, but wish to remain within a short distance from the city.

homes with open space on all four sides
A 60-hectare area is usually divided into more than just 250 lots. But the planners of Montecito were committed to devoting half of the property to open space. In a radical departure from conventional thinking, nearly all lots in Montecito are designed to have a border of open space on all four sides, so no two houses are ever directly adjacent to each other. Grass courtyards or greenways between the houses function as buffer zones for privacy, and at the same time provide neighbors with a shared space for interaction.

water you can drink from the tap
Clean and abundant water to drink is a luxury that is fast running out in densely populated urban areas. Originally built for self-sustainability, Montecito is fortunate to have two deep wells providing 400 gallons of water each collected in two reservoirs that have a total volume of 730 cubic meters. The village also has its own water treatment plant.

facilities that rejuvenate body and soul

Due to be constructed in Montecito is a community wellness center that will house a swimming pool, basketball and badminton courts, meditation and treatment rooms, an art studio, and social hall. These facilities will be built to blend with the natural environment of Montecito.

integrated outdoor and indoor living

Nearly 50% of Montecito’s total land area is kept as open space. In effect, residents have access to space way beyond the size of the lot they actually purchase. “Outdoor salas” like the one shown in this photo are just one of the property features that make the most out of the generous amounts of space. Underground utilities and centralized electric meters also keep unsightly wires and poles from hampering views.

extra-large lot cuts

Montecito’s lots range from 535-1,200 square meters each, an unusually large size intended for people with a particular preference for spacious lawns in their homes. Coupled with the greenways and grass courtyards that create ventilation corridors between lots and keep them separate, Montecito’s property development plan is definitely unique and difficult to replicate in other residential communities.

private tree and plant nursery
Its very own tree and plant nursery is one of the prides of Montecito. The village maintenance staff nurtures a wide variety of plants to keep the neighborhood’s surroundings always healthy and natural. Views of flourishing trees and plants are known to have a positive effect on physical and emotional well-being. For this reason, Montecito’s management makes the resources of the tree and plant nursery available for all residents.

With the coming of the country’s largest corporations to build landmark commercial and residential developments in the area, Canlubang is poised to become one of the Philippines’ premier cities of the future.The rich history of Canlubang’s fertile lands mirrors the history of the Philippines itself, beginning with the administration of the Spanish friars, followed by the coming of American corporations.

Canlubang was passed on by the Americans to Don Vicente Madrigal, before it finally came under the wing of the Yulo family.The opening up of Montecito is seen as a continuation of the philosophy of stewardship started by Jose Yulo, Sr. As Canlubang continues to grow in national prominence, the premium location of Montecito ensures it will remain a neighborhood with the best life has to offer for many generations.
