A little piece of heaven in South Forbes

MANILA, Philippines - Gated communities add a touch of distinction.  Its primary appeal is the promise of improved security, cleanliness, and quality appearance which are strictly maintained for the benefit of all residents.  Most of all, its homeowners will feel that they are a part of a community -- an idealized small town where everyone knows and cares about each other.

In South Forbes Golf City, a gated community of enclaves exudes a uniquely oriental soul to which we Filipinos can very much relate.  That place within the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor is collectively called The Mansions, the Asian line to South Forbes’ internationally-themed Residential Cluster. 

“Every Asian country has undergone developments in architecture and design over the decades, modernized yet maintaining that wealth of innate traditionalism. In the Mansions, we not only imaginatively re-interpret time-honored foreign Asian styles and assimilating it with Filipino sensibilities into the homes, we even take it to the next level by integrating it with the amenities that reflect the lifestyle of the featured country,” Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng said.

This high-end community maintains electrical utilities and the like underground, making this whole resort-inspired community pleasing to the eyes with no suspended wires to hinder one’s view of the relaxing environs.

Enticing.  Imagine the sea breeze blowing along a white sand beach as the warmth of sunlight releases your tension and it floats away with the tide and blue waves but all in the confines of your home in the warm, beach-inspired enclave, Bali Mansions.  Bali Mansions features four posh model mansions – Coralia, Candidasa, Lovina, and Nusa Dua -- all named after popular beach spots in Bali.  From the exterior, all exude the modern, tropical Asian motif with dark wood finishes against a backdrop of light earth tones.  Its interiors are luxuriantly furnished with bright tropical colors and with traditional objects and elements, evoking a spirit of delightful eclecticism.

“Due to insistent demand for the modern Balinese style, we have launched Nirwana Bali, located on higher elevation which assures of much cooler weather and a more imposing view,” Ng said.  “We have featured three new model mansions suited to every family’s needs -- the Jimbaran, Legian, and Sanur.”
