A taste of everyday tranquility in Lipa

In Lipa, weekends mean cool breezes, quiet mornings, and family lunches with mountain views. For years, Mount Malarayat Golf and Country Club has been a weekend escape for those wanting fresh air without straying too far from Manila. Now, a hidden nook within this iconic community makes that peaceful weekend feeling possible every single day.

Tucked inside the 200-hectare Mount Malarayat Residential Estates is Alcove, a new, low-density enclave that promises more than just vacation vibes. With only 190 lots across 1.8 hectares, it is designed for people who want space, privacy, and nature at their doorstep.

“You don’t need to be a golfer to live here.” This simple truth sets Alcove apart. Beyond the fairways are walking paths shaded by old trees, car-light streets where kids can bike safely, and mountain views in nearly every direction. “Here, there’s no rush — just fresh air, curated landscapes, and the quiet hum of a well-kept community.” It is the kind of place where neighbors know each other, and weekday mornings feel like a Sunday stroll.

Lot sizes range from 271 to 838 square meters, giving families plenty of room to build dream homes with wide gardens and open spaces for kids to grow. For some, Alcove is the chance to raise kids closer to nature; for others, it is a place to slow down and spend retirement surrounded by green.

Lipa’s growth only makes this quiet pocket more special. Just a couple of hours from Manila, the city keeps attracting families looking for the right balance of convenience and calm. Better roads mean Alcove feels closer than ever yet keeps its distance from the stress of city life.

In Alcove, the promise is simple: “You don’t need to be a golfer to live here.” You only need a love for mornings that begin with fresh air and afternoons spent under the shade of old trees. The best part? The peace that once lasted only a weekend can now be your everyday life.
