Development Plans for Tagaytay Highlands Bared

The famed mountain resort and leisure destination Tagaytay Highlands just rolled out its plans for the 1,200 hectare property. This land that sits on Cavite, Laguna and Batangas which still asks to be developed further, this is where Highlands Prime Inc. comes in, they're the subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings.

The plan includes to put the property filled with commercial establishments, provide services for its residents, space for recreational activities, but still keeping it sustainable. It's going to further improve the mixed use plan they have for The Highlands, Midlands, Midlands West an Greenlands which are districts of Tagaytay Highlands. I remember staying in The Highlands a couple years back which was filled with Swiss looking chalets and log cabins, filled with pine trees, a panoramic view of the mountains, something unbelievable to see often for folks from Manila.

The Midlands on the other hand will be paradise for Golf lovers as their Midlands Golf Club will draw in fans of the sport but still offer a place of refuge with stunning views of Taal Lake, Mount Makiling and forests along the lake. Luxury villas, a place to camp out, plus a long stretch of residences that promote health, wellness, while nestled in the mountains. Midlands West on the other hand will have open parks, so you get a mix of modern amenities and nature. The Greenlands remain eco friendly, wide and apt for outdoor activities which will remain this way for a long time. They will foster conservation efforts to maintain the natural beauty of the property, with a goal to reach a million trees before 2044. As of now, 490,000 sits in it. There stands more for future generations, and this is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands. There's more low density condominiums being developed so each resident would experience that mountain resort living they've dreamed of.

This is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands.

Huge Changes at Tagaytay Highlands: A Different Vision

Tagaytay Highlands hold a special part in my heart because of the multitude of things that I've done with family there over the years. Back then, it was quite exclusive, privately accessible, with the country's who's who owning a plot or two.

This has CHANGED over the decade, utilizing every morsel of real estate in the area means development of properties, and the magic of living in several townships this 2024. This time, they put value in transforming communities. With focus on modern community living, each residence are well planned, managed, brought to this decade by establishing mixed use properties without taking the charm and exclusivity of it.

Now it's got the Highlands, the Midlands, Midlands West, Greenlands and perhaps more soon. This place was built on a VISION, one that has been delicately designed before things move inside the estate. From usual country home residences, it now has integrated structures that can also be used for leisure, recreation, commercial use, while maintaining vibrant and sustainable in all areas.

This is one of the reasons why it's thriving, not letting new conveniences take away what's already good and existing in the property. Adding only the things that can harmoniously blend with the needs and wants of people living here. By far, it is still one of the most sought after properties in the country. It's paradise, especially for those who want to live in the high areas. It's like having a piece of a cold mountain elsewhere in the world, but living in a tropical country, and people you love.

The place still has open spaces, where a huge part gets dedicated for it. Parts of it also see the world famous Taal Lake/Volcano, while others are for the running mountains too. This spans around 1500 hectares, where you can also enjoy outdoor activities. There are tons of flora and fauna, plus see birds in a sanctuary. This is proof that it can be done, the combination of facilities you need, but with all the things you love with nature.  

This place is managed by Highlands Prime, Inc., a subsidiary of real estate giant SM Prime Holdings. It's just one of the ton of world class properties they do on a weekend (I kid). Heard they're also raring to do a few more projects in the pipeline like Highlands Residences, Trealva, Primrose Parks, Horizon Terraces Garden Villas Scottsdale, and more soon.

Southern France Living in Tagaytay Highlands: PROVENCE

I’ve always dreamed of living in South France. It’s not that snotty rich feeling that is fleeting, more of a little mix of French and Mediterranean as its proximity to the sea changes things. I also dream of a calm breeze, where seaside restaurants abound, and the only thing I hear is my glass of wine clink and the smell of freshly baked croissant permeate the landscape as it is done next door. I also want to see the quaint shabby chic houses, miles of vineyards and olive groves. To live simply amongst warm gentle people, they’ve also got a culture of Spanish in the mix as the border is quite close… oh I would love to live like that here.

 

 
I’ve been to Tagaytay Highlands. That awesome place reminds me of Europe and the ambiance of different countries. I’ve heard they’re putting out more luxurious residential concepts and one of them is called PROVENCE. An apt word to describe that region, they’re making huge lots into these dreamy communities all in this world class mountain resort. Now you don’t have to go out of the country and leave your loved ones behind, because you can do it in the Philippines. You get a tropical country (which you can also go to anytime of the day) and the ambiance and homes just like in the South of France, isn’t that amazing?

In Provence, you get a prime location on a gentle southbound slope. In it, you can stroll along the scenic road of Lakeside Fairways Drive where you can marvel at the lush and floral landscapes, amidst unobstructed views of Taal Lake and its surrounding mountains, one of which is Mt. Makiling. The units at Provence are designed with old French architecture and ambiance in mind. They use elements like wood, stones, and wooden shutters in soft pastel colors. The property also has a 3.8-meter-wide promenade, filled with flowery shrubs and trees. They also have the Parc Central which has got an infinity pool, another for kids so residents can just lounge and escape with Tagaytay's scenic views. This is such a postcard worthy location; you would want to live in it the same way as you would do in the South of France.

 

This is a low-density community with only 14 lots per hectare. Provence only has 119 lots and is very limited. Spaces are also from 240 to 451 square meters, more than enough for a huge family. It also comes with facilities for rest and recreation, which is why some wouldn’t leave their homes and enjoy a very cool climate in the mountains of Tagaytay. 

 

If you want to own a Highlands home, please call +632 75052422 and +63917 5150158. You can also visit their website www.tagaytayhighlands.com of follow their social pages Tagaytay Highlands on FB, and @tagaytayhighlandsofficial on IG.

Your Home Awaits at Tagaytay Highlands

It's certainly a very tough time for all of us as the pandemic ruffles all our feathers, tests our patience and seek time for prayers. People right now are at the comforts of their homes or looking for a more quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of the city, making their once weekend vacation houses into permanent homes. I've been to Tagaytay Highlands quite a few times already and it sounds like a great idea to live there.

Tagaytay Highlands is a mountain-resort themed estate blessed with majestic views of Mt. Makiling, the Canlubang Valley, Laguna de Bay and Taal Lake. The place is not just a weekend retreat, it has evolved into a place to build your dream home and it has for a lot of people. Its huge lots, Swiss Alps reminiscent log cabins and large units are made to endure years, perfect place to create those happy memories with family and friends. Tagaytay Highlands has always been like that. Exclusive, yes, but it feels so much like home.

Tagaytay Highlands has always been managed well. They employ high security standards which enable residents and guests have a safe place. They also launched clean-up and repair operations this January where major roads, driveways, golf courses, landscapes and other common areas were rehabilitated, fixed and repaired. It's why the place remains in pristine condition before the pandemic happened. I've had memories with family gatherings, weddings, events in The Spa and Lodge, the Tagaytay Highlands Golf Course, dining places and the Sports Center which comprise the major facilities of this place.

This makes it a dream safe haven for homeowners and guests. It remains to be one of the few communities with low-density populace and wide-open spaces plus clean mountain air. I envy those who get to live there everyday.

 

The place also enforces stringent health and safety standards as they follow measures mandated by government health authorities. Residents and guests are encouraged to do frequent handwashing, wear face masks and shields outside their homes. They are also to observe social distancing. Property employees continue to be monitored closely and undergo non-contact thermal scanning upon entering the property. Temperatures are again checked at all main entrances,  canteen and offices employ two-meter distance for employees to keep everyone safe.

The same goes with management, staff, security and technicians of the Tagaytay Highlands as they continue to provide services to homeowners, guests and members. This makes it one of the nicest place to be in. A safe place to stay, with stunning views and people who care. You might want to live there too.
