Where woodland is the garden, sky’s the ceiling

Straddling the towns of Malvar and Tanauan in Batangas, Monticello Wooded Estates is a premium residential development where the natural and the man-made intermingle into a fresh and verdant garden community.

Spread on a 55-hectare property of rustic woodland bordered by the San Juan River, Monticello Wooded Estates enables residents to truly feel at one with nature, enjoy the movement of the seasons, and at the same time, indulge in the world-class sports and leisure amenities of this exclusive enclave.

Subscribing to trend-setting concepts in community development, the developer, the Active Group, envisions Monticello Wooded Estates as an exclusive residential address in the bosom of nature, with no crowds, no pollution, a safe haven away from the city. True to its name (Monticello "hillock" or "small wooded area" in Italian), the property is planted with trees that provide ample fresh air and shade. At Monticello, one’s garden extends to the lush vegetation of the woodland giving an uninterrupted view of green.

Water is an essential feature of Monticello landscape and this is most evident in the man-made lake right at the heart of the property, and in the pristine San Juan River that flows at its back end. Fishing enthusiasts can cast a line along its banks on a leisurely afternoon. Joggers and strollers will enjoy the view from the promenade ringing the lake, while nature lovers can take to the forest trails or stroll underneath a canopy of trees.

At Monticello, residents enjoy the best of worlds. Despite the rustic ambience, this residential development will be hosting contemporary creature comforts. To be built along the banks of the San Juan River, the Villa Monticello Country Club commands a panoramic view of the verdant surroundings.

Designed to cater to the residents’ leisurely pursuits, the clubhouse will include a covered children’s playground, restaurant and viewing deck, wine room, and swimming pools for adults and children. It will also have a multi-purpose hall and a gym. Some unique features of its design reiterates Monticello’s general concept that allows nature to be a part of its residents’ activities: the meditation garden, for instance, has a direct access to the San Juan River for freshwater activities.
