The above is a vision of the kind of idyllic life that many, particularly city dwellers, as you and me, long for.
And many have worked long and hard and saved their earnings conscientiously to be able to afford the dream.
However, before venturing out and determinedly laying down hard earned cash as initial downpayment for just any country retreat, Georgetown Lakeview Vacation Estate (GLVE) located in Metro Tagaytay advices prospective buyers to carefully consider the following:
• A great vacation home would ideally offer both comfort and privacy. One would understandably wish to be spared from prying eyes or the din from next door neighbors. Georgetown, for one, makes sure that its houses enjoy generous distance from each other.
• It should be an easy drive from the city. Traffic patterns and proximity of destination should enable one to easily drop by on weekends or even on weekdays for that much-needed breather from work. Homeowners of Georgetown enjoy the luxury of a two-hour drive from Metro Manila to unwind in their second homes.
• It should be located in an area from which the town and its infrastructure such as markets, hospitals, police station are easily accessible. Georgetown is conveniently located near the Tagaytay Rotunda. Homeowners will find that the local drugstore or grocery for example are just a few minutes drive away.
• Scenery and climate. It can be said that pastoral and rustic setting would easily soothe many a weary soul. In Georgetown, each homeowner is offered a scenic view of the Taal Lake and volcano right from the comfort of their own homes. The cool winds from the mountains of Tagaytay and Batangas offer a welcome change from the heat and pollution now so closely associated with city living.
• What of financing packages? Many vacation homeowners are families who have cleverly taken advantage of affordable financing schemes that real estate companies and banks offer. Georgetown offers a flexible payment plan and has tie-ups with a number of banks.

• Try tallying up the costs you spend on your vacation trips and compare how much you can save if you have a vacation home of your own. If your family likes recreational sports, look for a place that offers the necessary facilities. Georgetown has tennis and basketball courts and a clubhouse equipped with an indoor heated swimming pool, fitness center, coffee shop and modern game room.
