LIFE

Modern living with a great view

MARTHA ANN CHU

Living in Tagaytay is.a dream for many, especially for those who want the convenience of not being too far away from the metro while enjoying mountain views fresh and cool air.

Horizon Terraces Garden Villas offers that option to be a home away from one's city home.

Take a peek at Mt. Makiling in the distance and gaze at the Highlands' own peaks.

Three-bedroom townhomes range in size from 140 to 172 square meters, which makes it ideal for starter families or singles who just want a quiet space for themselves. Each townhouse unit comes with a ground-floor den, a multifunctional space convertible into a separate bedroom for extended family members and friends.

The second floor is a common area with a balcony and terrace that opens up to the area's lush view. This is a a unique home living feature at Scottsdale—unlike other homes where such areas are typically located at the ground floor.

For good measure, upper-levels offer privacy for homeowners. A space for finding solace amid the comforting green scenery.

At the property's Central Garden, an expansive hectare meant for recreation and nature tripping. Special points include the Garden Courtyard with Sundial, the Sensory Garden, Pocket Gardens, and the Central Garden's resort-inspired pools.

Horizon Terraces Garden Villas is also close to the Midlands Golf Course that offers myriad challenges for resident golfers, and unobstructed vistas of Taal Lake and Mt. Makiling.

The good news is that homeownership at Horizon Terraces Garden Villas also comes with membership at The Country Club, and access to top-notch sports and leisure facilities. Casual and fine-dining restaurants are within reach for families who like to bond over food and drinks.

As the property resumes its operations, a 360° Virtual Walkthrough of its Horizon Terraces Garden Villas model unit is available for home seekers who want to learn more about the space without having to leave their own home.

Complementing the 360° Virtual Walkthrough is the Virtual Tour Guide, which provides personalized service through an experiential journey featuring the exclusive lifestyle lived at a Garden Villas home.
