Pueblos Blancos’ stunning views together with luxurious surroundings is set to lure families and retirees to a charming rural slice of Laurel, Batangas. Located on a mountain slope overlooking Taal Lake and its famous volcano, Pueblos Blancos is the latest premier residential development to rise on the fastest-growing area located west of Tagaytay City.
The town of Laurel, whose roots go back to the Philippine Revolution of 1890s, enjoys a unique location along Tagaytay-Talisay Ridge, a reason the country’s biggest property developers are flocking here. “Aside from the fact that Pueblos Blancos is just a very short drive from Splendido Golf and Country Club, our development would soon be a walking distance from Megaworld’s The Shopping Village and Lakeshore Town Center, which will host a wide array of restaurants, cafés and retail shops,” said Antonio Diaz president of Infinity Asia, Pueblos Blancos developer.
Diaz explained that what Infinity Asia is doing at Pueblos Blancos is to create an exclusive haven inspired by the white Iberian villages of Spain. “There will be just six buildings, six to 10 floors high, and 80 percent of the development will be devoted to greenery and landscaping to maximize the majestic view of the lake and volcano.”
One- to three-bedroom units will be offered and will be priced from around P3 million to P9 million.
“Building a relaxing ambience, we intend to build a spa and a meditation garden; the Viento Fresco Outdoor Ballroom; our centerpiece, the Gemelas Puente Twin Bridge and Garden; La Solaria and La Noche Pocket Gardens; a hanging bridge; an area to set up a bonfire; barbecue grilling pit; family picnic park; children’s playground and petting zoo; jogging and walking paths; all natural garden and green house; and a leisure farm where our residents could hone their farming skills,” Diaz enumerated.
He added that what Infinity Asia is trying to create at Pueblos Blancos is a family-friendly community where days are spent on meditative and rejuvenating facilities, as well as all-natural surroundings.
With just around 500 units to be offered, Diaz said the development will also offer 54 fully finished units featuring dynamic open concept, ridge-view living rooms, ceiling to floor view facing windows, personal balconies, choice of fully finished bathrooms, floor finishes, interior archways, built-in kitchen area and crisp wall finishes.
Modern amenities
“Each building will have a central lobby, rooftop view deck, grand entrance and drop-off area, elevator and stairway floor access as well as automatic fire alarm and fire protection systems, 24-hour resort and building security with closed circuit TV monitoring systems, stand-by emergency building power, on call building maintenance, ground level parking, and solar powered common area lighting,” Diaz said.
He said that as his group plans to sell the property overseas, he wanted successful Filipino-Americans and other foreigners to realize that the Philippines, particularly the area west of Tagaytay City, is among the most affordable and appealing options for retirees.
“Magnificent view, cool weather, most relaxing ambience, great and healthy food, and modern amenities including top-notched clinics and hospitals, who would not want to start a fresh life in Pueblos Blancos?” Diaz asked.
