Endless backyard at Ayala's Montecito

MANILA, Philippines - Nature, in its silent and lush grandeur has always been a nurturing provider for all of us. And this couldn’t be more evident than at the rising environmentally sustainable community of Montecito at Nuvali, where it goes beyond the basics and generously gives its residents the gift of friendship.

“We envision Montecito to be a place that promotes the values of friendship and family within a relaxed, refined setting of generous green spaces, a lake, Mediterranean architecture and exceptional community facilities,” says Jose Juan Z. Jugo, head of the land and houses group of Ayala Land Premier.

As such one of Montecito’s most unique features is the greenways – common grounds shared by two rows of homes – that link houses together, encouraging interaction among neighbors. “Having a good relationship with your neighbor doesn’t happen overnight,” says Jugo. “The greenways serve as a venue for shared activities like neighborhood cookouts wherein you can meet the people in your neighborhood.”

And who wouldn’t want to go out at the greenways for a block party if your neighborhood is set against the scenic hills of the charming town of Canlubang? Montecito– located at the heart of Nuvali – is a majestic 60-hectare village heralding Nuvali’s thrust for socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable living.

Within its lush paradise, one is welcomed by idyllic surroundings boasting of natural lakes and vast greenery. Amenities which will be housed in the village clubhouse Pasa Tiempo – the swimming pool, library, game rooms, function areas, activity center, village kitchen and spa – also provide a relaxing place to mingle and socialize with fellow residents, complementary to the pocket gardens that encourage community interaction.
