The rise in demand of second homes

- Advertisement -spot_img

With the effects of COVID-19 pandemic still evident, more and more people began to crave for peace and safety without compromising convenience and accessibility. This is why trends show that properties outside of congested cities, particularly second homes near beaches or highlands, are becoming a popular choice of investment for property seekers. Why so? Because it offers the best of both worlds — the possibility of keeping life’s conveniences close while living within a safe, spacious, lush green enclave away from crowded city centers.

And property investing is about finding the right opportunity. That comes in locations where big infrastructure projects and industrial developments are taking place coupled with trends such as the dramatic rise in demand for residences outside of the metro and closer to nature, putting Foressa Mountain Town, an AboitizLand master-planned community offering residential lots, in a key investment position.

“While Cebu is known to have white sand beaches, Cebu also boasts of mountainous rolling terrains. Foressa is a master-planned mountain town that will give you the luxury of owning a home close to nature and a unique premium investment that will surely appreciate in value through the years,” said David Rafael, AboitizLand President and CEO.

Sprawling at 540 hectares, the Aboitiz-owned West Cebu Estate is an integrated economic center credited with transforming Balamban, Cebu into a first-class municipality, renowned as the shipping capital of the Philippines. Within this township lies the lush landscape of Foressa Mountain Town which has been gaining traction as a top prime investment.

Unique to Foressa Mountain Town is the easy access to nature, as the development’s star amenity. With the scenic views of the mountains and the sea, being home to over 800 species of trees and 600,000 sqm of protected riverside areas, the property encourages its vecinos or homeowners to surrender and immerse themselves to the luxuries of nature’s spectacles as soon as they wake up to performing their daily tasks. Families and friends can also explore beautifully-made bike and hike trails while living their active lifestyle.

With the same tranquil excitement of the first light of day flooding through an open window, Foressa Mountain Town opens its Light Phase B to eager property buyers on March 5. This launch comes right after the swift turnover of its Light Phase A, with more people realizing the value of homes away from the city and closer to lush greenery and boundless open spaces.

Besides offering a variety of lot sizes, Foressa differentiates its lot types to suit the market’s diverse needs and preferences – from hillside lots that offer a distant view of the river or lots near parks and amenity areas.

Riverside Ridge lots offer an average of 1,499 sqm per lot cut. Lots in this segment have a downhill feature that allows future vecinos to enjoy the view of the mountain, proximity to the river, and the Foressa Lodge, the property’s main pavilion.

If you prefer proximity to parks and areas for leisurely walks, choose from the available Parkside Premium lots. Each lot cut is approximately 800 sqm with a 200-sqm extension option for those who want to build their own gardens and patios.

For those who prefer lot sizes within 400-700 sqm, take a look at the Hillside and Avenue lots. These segments feature uphill and downhill lots that offer a vantage view of the West Cebu Estate and the Tanon Strait in key areas in the eastern section.

Foressa Mountain Town is also home to serene, well-curated, spacious, and modern common amenities so that residents can bond with family and friends without sacrificing health and safety. Vecinos can enjoy a modern community built around the serene ambiance of West Cebu’s highlands and deep forests. As the residential enclave of West Cebu Estate, the integrated economic estate offers easy access to top commercial and retail establishments.
