Luxury Villa or Farm Ranch for Sale in Tamlong,Calauan, Laguna, Calauan, Laguna, Philippines

Unique Private Home in Midst of Hot Springs and Lush Forest

Visiting this estate one is immediately awed by the natural beauty of the surroundings. The terrain is generally rolling with the highest point of Mount Tamlong located within the property. The developed portion has been created without moving any earth or destroying the terrain or foliage, thus creating some very exquisite landscaping. The U shaped crest of the mountain makes up most of the developed area and provides breathtaking views over the top of millions of coconut trees to Mt. Makiling, Mt. Banahaw and six other mountains of lesser stature. The elevation is approximately fifty meters above sea level. The property has a natural hot mineral spring that provides an excellent source for the natural hot tub. The five and one half developed hectares include formal gardens which have a year round display of colorful flowers. The gardens are composed of many varieties of both imported and local flowers. There are literally thousands and thousands of Heliconia blooming on the hillsides. The vast varieties of plantings themselves have been placed at the cost of millions of pesos. The entire country estate was originally a part of a larger coconut plantation and has approximately 1200 fruit bearing coconut trees. In the last seven years another crop of young coconut trees has been planted underneath in order to maintain a palm tree image well into the future. The soil is highly rich and arable and is also planted with lanzones, santols, mangoes, calamancies, bananas, papayas, rambutans, lumboys, guyabanoes and other assorted fruits. It was planted not as an orchard but with fruit bearing trees throughout the gardens. Many creative concrete paths wind in and out the garden areas. At every turn there is homage paid to a rare site—culminating in a procession of mature trees, rock walls, plush lawns and unforgettable mountain views. Several garden walls and terraces bespeak a remarkable level of the unique artistry of the gardens. Large jugs, urns, outdoor furniture and unique garden décors add to the beauty. The blend of modern facilities with natural products has done much to encase this property with a magical flair.
