Visiting this estate one is immediately awed by the natural beauty of the surroundings. The terrain is generally rolling with the highest point of Mount Tamlong located within the property. The developed portion has been created without moving any earth or destroying the terrain or foliage, thus creating some very exquisite landscaping. The U shaped crest of the mountain makes up most of the developed area and provides breathtaking views over the top of millions of coconut trees to Mt. Makiling, Mt. Banahaw and six other mountains of lesser stature. The elevation is approximately fifty meters above sea level. The property has a natural hot mineral spring that provides an excellent source for the natural hot tub. The five and one half developed hectares include formal gardens which have a year round display of colorful flowers. The gardens are composed of many varieties of both imported and local flowers. There are literally thousands and thousands of Heliconia blooming on the hillsides. The vast varieties of plantings themselves have been placed at the cost of millions of pesos. The entire country estate was originally a part of a larger coconut plantation and has approximately 1200 fruit bearing coconut trees. In the last seven years another crop of young coconut trees has been planted underneath in order to maintain a palm tree image well into the future. The soil is highly rich and arable and is also planted with lanzones, santols, mangoes, calamancies, bananas, papayas, rambutans, lumboys, guyabanoes and other assorted fruits. It was planted not as an orchard but with fruit bearing trees throughout the gardens. Many creative concrete paths wind in and out the garden areas. At every turn there is homage paid to a rare siteâ€�?culminating in a procession of mature trees, rock walls, plush lawns and unforgettable mountain views. Several garden walls and terraces bespeak a remarkable level of the unique artistry of the gardens. Large jugs, urns, outdoor furniture and unique garden dÃ©cors add to the beauty. The blend of modern facilities with natural products has done much to encase this property with a magical flair.

This splendid country estate is located in Sitio Tamlong, Limao, Calauan, Laguna in the Philippines. It is in the heart of the much sought after Calabarzone.

The location is very convenient to Manila yet very private! This property embraces thirteen hectares of absolute beauty and privacy. It is located only a few kilometers from the well-known Hidden Valley Resort and situated between the new Ayala Greenfield Estates and Techno Park II. Driving time from Alabang to the site is less than one hour. Roads are in good to excellent condition most of the way. The proposed extension of the South Super Highway will put this property within an easy hour drive from Manila. The last one and a half kilometers are down a dirt road, which is currently on the schedule of the nearby town of Calauan to be developed.

The total land area is 12.92 hectares, with 5.5 hectares creatively developed with a guest house, a staff house, a barn and numerous garden structures. This property is serviced with its own water from a deep well and electricity from Meralco. Over seven hectares are semi-developed with agricultural plantings and forested areas.

The charming beauty of nature surrounds the magnificent stone-faced house capped with a wooden shake roof. The 325 square meter residence is built on five levels hugging the hillside and thus provides excellent views from all rooms. The open contemporary living area is octagonal in shape and is enclosed by French windows that open unto a dramatic terrace with a spectacular view. The thirty- five-foot ceiling, spiral staircase, and recessed shelving are all special features of the distinctive architectural design that needs to be seen to be appreciated. A cozy library invites you to curl up with a book on the loft area overlooking the living room. At the very top of the house is an open meditation lounge with a 360-degree view over the entire countryside. There is a big master bedroom with a large master bathroom with double showers and a marble tub. The blend of modern facilities with natural products has done much to encase this house with a unique flair.
