Lausanne at Crosswinds Advertorial on Property Report PH – The Philippine Star

Anyone who has seen Crosswinds in Tagaytay, the Villar-owned well-loved destination for travel, leisure, and luxury, must have left with a lasting memory and must have been impressed with the charming and quaint district.

But just when you thought the 100-hectare Swiss-inspired community is already perfectly complete, be prepared to be blown away yet again as the wind here takes you to greater heights to reveal another premiere residential development—Lausanne at Crosswinds.

The newest expansion is a sprawling 24-hectare development of undulating hills with enchanting panoramic views of the lush hills of Tagaytay, the calm Laguna de Bay, and the Metro Manila skyline. Lausanne takes you to a somnambulant spell, which transports you to a different world, a different era.

Be ready to be mesmerized with a long, tree-lined road, a wide expanse of strikingly colorful blooms, fresh-smelling pine trees, and the crisp mountain air.

Lausanne will offer an ultra-premium limited selection of residential lots—which undoubtedly stands out as a patch of heaven on earth, making it a perfect choice for discerning buyers who want to live close to nature but within the comforts of city life and yet, away from the madding crowd.

Lot sizes range from 400 to 600 square meters, perfect for families looking to have future, permanent destinations outside Metro Manila as the world transitions to a post-pandemic era. There will be 75 lots and 26 units for phase one of the project, comprising 6.5 hectares of development, with 3.8 hectares up for sale.

To live here is to give oneself the permanent experience of living with nature but still just less than two hours away from Metro Manila. Lausanne homeowners have access to the iconic spots of Tagaytay and yet they can easily go home to their mountain hideaways.

Those who don’t want to brave the weekend Tagaytay traffic can just stay in Crosswinds and savor everything it has to offer. Crosswinds itself is already a complete destination, which redefines the essence of going to Tagaytay. It is a one-stop destination to relax and live leisurely in the comforting embrace of Mother Nature.

It has a boutique retail strip, picnic grounds, and a wide array of dining options.

There’s Coffee Project, touted as the most Instagrammable coffee shop in the Philippines. There’s also The Ruined Project? another restaurant with unfinished buildings with exposed ceilings, coarse concrete walls and open holes for windows. There’s also Cafe Voi La, an Asian-inspired cafe and the newly opened Napa, a California-themed coffee house with a twist.

One will also find countless spots to make memories. There’s a giant throne chair, somewhat like Geneva’s chair sculpture; a giant windmill that will transport you to Amsterdam and the view of pine trees as far as the eye can see from the Alpine Greens view deck.

The distinct, perfumed and fragrant piney smell in Crosswinds is also unparalleled, at least in this corner of the country, thanks to 35,000 pine trees planted and grown here.

A project by Brittany

Crosswinds is developed by Brittany, the luxury real estate subsidiary of Villar’s Vista Land & Lifescapes. Its growing portfolio includes the master-planned developments of Portofino and Amore in Alabang, La Posada at The Lakefront in Sucat[f], Georgia Club, Promenade, Belle Reve, and Fontamara in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

With Lausanne at Crosswinds, the Villar-owned premiere residential and leisure destination just got bigger and better and perhaps the most exclusive, luxurious hideaway in Tagaytay.

Owning a piece of luxury in a perfect destination just two hours away from the hustle and bustle of Manila is certainly the best reward one can give to oneself in the post pandemic Philippines.

It’s been more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’re all still scrambling to get a shred of normalcy back into our lives. Some of us try to amuse ourselves by binge-watching new shows, discovering new games, and finding new hobbies. Others turn inwards, vanishing into the comforts of self-improvement and reflection. Yet some of us choose both, electing to enhance our lives by doing something both meaningful and money-smart, such as investing in vacation homes.

Indeed, in a world where trips have practically become a distant memory, a luxury vacation home is undoubtedly a dream come true. Through owning and staying in a luxury home like this, one can carve out a truly private space for oneself, even amid the messy urban jungle.

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of investing in vacation homes in the metro!

Are Vacation Homes Good Investments?

Buying any kind of property, whether in the city or the countryside, requires an enormous amount of investment — and there’s no doubt that you’d want to get your money’s worth. So is buying a home you won’t be staying in for the majority of your time even worth the investment?

Actually, vacation homes are good investments, and for a variety of reasons. According to CNN Business, many people buy a vacation home even before buying a home for themselves. Not only are they amazing vehicles for wealth, but vacation homes can also even be good for personal development. In this section, we’ll discuss the undeniable benefits of owning luxury homes for vacation purposes.

1. Double benefits

First and foremost, buying a vacation home gives you the double benefit of utility. It can be your private sanctuary, a place reserved specifically for relaxation. Although it’s nice to have your place where you stay for most of the year, sometimes things can get a little monotonous and boring. Having a vacation home is great since you can have a full-fledged vacation whenever you want, without going through the hassle of booking and logistics.

Vacation homes can also be a good source of passive income. Because you’re not staying in it all year-round, you can rent the place out to clients when you’re not using it. Not only can you generate extra income, but you’re also helping other people keep themselves sane through the loneliness and isolation of quarantine.

2. Ever-increasing demand

As of October 2020, the vacation home market is on an upward trend. Pageviews for luxury properties are up by 50% compared to 2019, and even sales have increased by a significant percentage.

As mentioned, the quarantine measures have put us all on edge, forcing us to look for respites that don’t involve violating the travel restrictions. The mobility afforded by work-from-home setups and home-based schooling is also negating what used to be everyday considerations, such as daily commutes and all the time constraints that they bring. A combination of these factors drives the demand for vacation homes to new heights, which you can take advantage of quite easily as a new vacation-home owner.

3. Rise of community-focused rental platforms

Online platforms like Airbnb have been on the rise recently due to their convenience

The rise of rental platforms such as VRBO and Airbnb is making it easier to rent luxury homes in the Philippines. Young people, most especially, want simpler means of booking their stay. At the same time, they also value their privacy and freedom above all else. The technological advances of community-focused apps enable just that. With apps like Airbnb, customers can choose from a wide variety of places to stay, with more choices in terms of features and amenities.

These platforms also encourage friendly relationships between hosts and travelers, which can be a welcome difference to commercial accommodations’ standardized and alienating hospitality. Add to that the 24/7 customer support, secure payment protection, and assistance in case of emergencies, and you can see why rental platforms are taking a huge chunk of the accommodations industry.

4. Good potential gains

Now that we know there is a surging market for vacation homes, we can then infer just how easy it is to ensure ROI in this industry. Indeed, one of the many benefits of a vacation home is the constant rate of ROI. This is because, aside from the fact that real estate investments appreciate over time, this specific niche of the market is in demand.

While not all properties will enjoy this particular benefit, vacation homes, in particular, are easy to optimize for constant ROI. For example, you can easily acquire vacation properties located in high capital gain areas that will increase in value over time. Vacation houses capitalize on geographic features, such as sceneries, tourist spots, and even the easy access and complete amenities of the metro.

These days, you can also buy preselling luxury lots for sale for a bargain. This ensures a high-profit margin. These factors combined make vacation properties easy to monetize. You can then gain immediate income by renting them out. As long as you do everything properly, it’s hard to have a losing bet on vacation homes.

5. Secure investment

Although this benefit isn’t unique to just vacation houses, it’s still a great opportunity that you can take advantage of. Vacation houses are a type of physical investment — one that is steadily becoming more in-demand. The population rises every year, and there’s always an influx of aspiring property owners, but the amount of land available stays the same. Investing in a vacation home ensures that your wealth is protected from inflation because any real-estate property will almost certainly rise in value over time.

More than that, vacation homes as an investment are also secure against market upsets, unlike other common investment vehicles such as stocks and bonds, which can swing at the whims of the market. This is illustrated by the recent global pandemic, which has created a lot of doubts and plunged the stock markets into dismal levels but has relatively left the real-estate market untouched worldwide.

Benefits of Getting a Vacation Home in the Metro

We’ve now established that vacation homes are well and good, but what benefit is there to get one in the metro? Doesn’t a vacation home in the quiet countryside, with its peaceful atmosphere and fresh air, sound better?

Actually, while countryside vacation homes are all well and good, they suffer from a few faults, as well. These are easily avoidable when investing in vacation homes in the metro, especially in light of these modern challenges we’re all facing. In this section, we’re going to discuss exactly what those benefits are.

1. Convenient and safe staycation

Vacation homes in the metro allow us to create our own haven without going too far out of the way. A safe and comfortable place where we can get away to whenever we want is even more important today than it was before. Due to Covid restrictions, we’re forced to stay in the confines of our primary homes for long periods of time. 

Although we understand that these measures are for our own good, it doesn’t change the fact that it leaves us feeling cramped and trapped. Staying in one place for too long a time is no fun by anyone’s standards, even if that place is your beloved home. Having a vacation home in the metro is the perfect fix for this. You can easily get away from everything without having to go out of the city, which means you’re not affected by the travel restrictions.

Since it’s also your private dwelling, so you can invite family and friends over for a quiet afternoon of socializing as long as you follow safety protocols. The new environment is going to do wonders for your taxed mind, instead of just staying in the same place you’ve been living in all year.

2. Ideal location

Public transportation, like buses, in the metro, makes it easier to get around.

From establishing businesses to purchasing your dream luxury home, location matters. Especially in the vacation home market, location is an important factor. Although the quiet and peaceful countryside may be nice, nothing beats the convenience of the metro, where all commodities and amenities are within reach. This is arguably one of the best advantages that a luxury house and lot in the metro has over a rural one.

Looking to do something fun? Need to buy something new? Interested in going someplace else? When you’re in the metro, shopping malls and other places for relaxation and leisure are merely a taxi ride away. Purchases can be made easily and without hassle, and many services can even deliver items straight to your doorstep.

The internet and mobile signal connections tend to be consistently strong, as well, unlike in rural areas. In metro vacation houses, you won’t fear missing a family reunion, a call with your special someone, or even a work emergency, all because of the spotty internet.

Lastly, you’re sure to be more secure in urban areas compared to rural ones. Police stations, hospitals, and other emergency services are much nearer compared to the countryside. This takes a load off the mind — not just for you, but for potential renters as well.

3. High appreciation value

Properties in the metro tend to rise in value rather quickly.

Appreciation happens the value of something rises over time. In the countryside, this can be slow and sluggish unless there’s already an established tourism sector. On the other hand, metros are prime areas for development and therefore tend to appreciate faster and higher. This is because there’s always more business being conducted in metropolitan areas almost every year.

Metropolitan areas, aside from being hubs that connect one tourist destination to another, are also rife with business activities that require accommodations. These can be workshops, seminars, conferences, competitions, and training in one way or another. Due to this, there will always be people looking for great places to stay — and with expenses typically paid for by their companies, they often aren’t particularly choosy about the price.

This makes sure that there’s always a market for vacation homes in the cities year-round, which can even be better than the seasonal business that rentals in the countryside bring.

4. Always has the potential to be a permanent home

Perhaps one of the most attractive benefits of having a luxury home in the Philippines is that it gives you the power of choice. You can stay in it yourself for vacations, or you can turn it into a business endeavor and rent it out. But because you truly own it, you can also just choose to live in it as your permanent home any time you choose.

Nothing beats the satisfaction and security of having a reserve home that you can easily switch into if things don’t work out or if you just want a little more variety in your everyday life. Having a vacation home in the metro affords you a choice. Again, it’s in a prime location, and it’s easily accessible and likely to be near prime commodities. There’s no problem with signal or internet connection, and it tends to be safer and more secure compared to rural areas. If you so choose, you can easily have a taste of these benefits for yourself.

5. Includes less risk compared to investments in the rural areas

Investing in metropolitan areas where there are plenty of jobs and businesses is always safer.

As much as real estate agents would like to call rural areas “up and coming” and “developing” areas, we have to face the facts.

Investing in undeveloped rural areas is basically the real estate version of gambling since their future is highly dependent on the whims of a cruel market. Tourists could lose interest and investors could pull out at any moment. If that happens, then a rural area with a once-bright future can suddenly find itself consigned into mediocrity. This means that your investments, too, will most likely be left to mediocrity.

On the other hand, metropolitan areas have proven value. They are stable rocks in the economy. Sure, they might suffer a dip in economic performance here and there, but once a place has become a developed city, it’s very unlikely for that status to be removed from it. It’s much likelier, in turn, for people to flock to the metros, making sure that cities will always be developing and always growing.

Thus, your wealth is much safer when invested in time-tested and market-proof areas, like in metropolitan cities.

Investing in a Vacation Home in the Metro

In today’s day and age, it’s important to adapt and endure as best as we can. However, this doesn’t mean that we have to sacrifice luxuries and all the things that make life worth living. Vacation homes, especially those in the metro, are just some of those things — a respite from the chaos all around.

UP NEXT: What Is It Like to Own a Luxury Vacation Home?

Real estate is that one investment you will make that promises a safe return on investment whatever you decide to do with it. You can either put it up for rent and earn rental income or earn equity to capital gains if the said property has appreciated in value in the real estate market. With luxury homes, the return on investment is greater when you find the best places to buy luxury homes in the Philippines. 

With a rising demand for bigger spaces, investor are more than eager to secure only best luxury home in the Philippines.

Choosing to live in a luxury house and lot provides a luxurious respite for your well-being as well, especially at these extraordinary times. According to industry data, Philippine real estate is seen to be one of those “outliers” where there is an increasing demand for luxury homes for sale because of the comfort and functionality these upscale properties offer, as restrictions have forced almost everyone to stay at home. Although people adjust differently, a bigger living space is a premium asset people are seeking and willing to invest in as they continue to live in the New Normal. 

The absence of social activity, largely influenced by mobility restrictions, has forced many to reconsider continuing the lifestyle they are accustomed to having in their own abodes. People who already call their luxury homes or upscale properties their primary residence are reaping the benefits of their real estate investment.

Why People Still Dream to Invest in a Luxury House and Lot for Sale

While a luxury house and lot for sale in the Philippines is viewed as expensive or priced higher than market value, they are top-of-the-line properties that give homeowners more than what they need beyond the sheer square footage and the number of rooms.

For one, working at home can be a real adjustment for people who are used to working in climate-controlled offices with ample workstations and comfortable chairs to sit in, and conference rooms furnished with the latest technologies used to communicate with colleagues from other satellite offices or locations as far as the other side of the globe. With the pandemic, laptops at the dining table or in the living room may be a temporary solution, but it can be uncomfortable in the long run and may no longer be ideal, especially if offices have already made the permanent transition to a remote-work operation.

Moreover, living space will definitely be a finite resource as people and their families try to continue with their daily activities indoors. If they are living alone in a small condo or apartment, the limited space may soon become uninspiring to even do the things they love in the days ahead. 

High-end buyers who are looking for a luxury house and lot for sale desire the same features all homebuyers want, but on a larger, grander scale. High-end buyers are also looking at beauty in every detail, from the luxury house and lot to the residential community it is located in. As such, they seek properties with custom architectural features and design, the attention to details given to the surrounding gardens, streets, and other common areas, and the opulence the neighborhood exudes. Some go into knowing if the luxury house and lot for sale also come with technological features like home automation, motion detectors, CCTV systems, and even the security and privacy situation of the neighborhood.

High-end buyers who even seek a lot for sale only to build their dream house even take into account the vistas or views the property offers or the seclusion it provides from the public eye. As such, Tagaytay lots for sale, Sta. Rosa lots for sale and Daang Hari lots for sale are quite popular for high-end buyers looking for a lot for sale in the South.

Lot-only packages located at the Terraces of Lausanne by Brittany Corporation are enchanting to high-end buyers because of the location’s sweeping panoramas, with views of Laguna de Bay, Manila Bay, and the lush hills of Tagaytay. 

High-end buyers will also take into account the many things the neighborhood offers without needing to drive or commute. As such, a luxury house and lot for sale in the Philippines located in a neighborhood that offers quick access to luxury activities, such as high-end shopping, dining, and the arts, as well as urban conveniences and proximity to other luxury homes for sale, are in demand – especially if travel restrictions limit your ability to continue your usual activities outside the neighborhood.

Located on the southern shores of Manila Bay and southwest of Metro Manila, it is one of the most industrialized and fastest-growing provinces in the Philippines and is a favorite location for property seekers who are feeling congested in Metro Manila.

The province is also connected to the metro with several important throughways, including the all-important Aguinaldo Highway, which runs in a general north-south direction and is connected with the Tagaytay–Nasugbu Highway segment in the south, and Cavite Expressway (CAVITEx) was opened, which has reduced traffic in Aguinaldo Highway and travel time from Imus to Baclaran to one hour.

Bordered by the highly-urbanized cities of Pasay, Taguig, Las Piñas, and Manila Bay, the city is powered largely by its shopping malls, and a thriving hotel and entertainment economies. Muntinlupa’s location is also quite strategic to high-end buyers who are looking for a holiday home or a primary address that is exclusive and private but still remains accessible to the rest of the metro.

One of the coveted addresses in Muntinlupa is La Posada, a Victorian-inspired residential enclave featuring charming luxury homes for starter families.

5. Tagaytay

And why should you not disregard Tagaytay? Known for its crisp, cool air and atmosphere, its location is a coveted address even among celebrities. It offers everything they demand in both a luxury home and a holiday home.

Despite being a city of Cavite, Tagaytay itself can stand alone as a real estate hotspot for luxury homes for sale also because of its retail and economic viability. Property seekers who choose to invest in a luxury house and lot or even a Tagaytay lot for sale can easily recoup their investment and more thanks to the bustling (and even thriving) tourism industry. And in the era of social distancing, Tagaytay matters for people who are longing for an escape from the city as it provides a private, exclusive (and safe abode).

When looking for a luxury house and lot, you first need to consider what “luxury” means to you.

If you have taken the plunge to finally buying a luxury house and lot for sale, congratulations are in order! But as you go through tons of listings of luxury homes, have you ever wondered what a luxury home truly means? Are you wondering if you are currently on the right path, and looking at the right luxury houses and lots?

While there are obvious characteristics of a luxury home, it is important that you also consider other aspects aside from the price, location, square footage – or some magic combination of all of the above. 

What Exactly Is a Luxury Home?

Contrary to public perception, “luxury” isn’t about how much cash you can shell out for the total contract price. “Luxury” is actually subjective to the buyer.

Well, for starters, “luxury” isn’t strictly about the premium price of the property. It’s much more subjective, and the target is moving as it is based on what the high-end buyer has come to expect in a particular aspect of the property.

This blog article even attempts to define luxury from ultra-luxury. According to the article, location plays a big role in defining a luxury house and lot. Aside from the definite fact that land is a finite resource, the exclusivity and orientation (i.e. marina views, scenic countryside views, city views) of the location help drive its value up. Enter “luxury house and lot in Daang Hari”, “luxury house and lot in Sta. Rosa”, “luxury house and lot in Sucat”, or “luxury house and lot in Tagaytay” on a search browser or real estate listings site and you will see what we mean.

Moreover, a luxury home should also offer more square footage inside and outside the physical home. The more spacious the home and the surrounding land, the more it is considered a luxury property. A three-story house, for example, may be considered a luxury property if it is built on a vast Tagaytay lot for sale.

And then there’s the custom work. A luxury house and lot is truly considered as is, if the property has hired artisans to top architects and structural engineers to create a custom house design, which also will comes with specific architectural details and features. These details and features, and the professionals who crafted them, add to the perceived value of the property. Ultra-luxury homes for sale go above and beyond by offering extreme amenities such as a very wide driveway, regulation-size swimming pools, or basketball court, a vineyard-sized, climate-controlled wine cellar, and more.

Luxury homes at Vista Alabang, a 600-plus hectare visionary city, is a master-planned community with three residential enclaves that showcase the best examples of luxury homes in the Philippines. Each award-winning luxury home exudes classic Old World charm, opulence, and sensibilities that are beyond typical.

The Antonello House is a luxury house and lot model by Brittany Corporation that has the square footage, architectural merit, bespoke and extreme features, and a prioritized location.

Things You Should Consider in a Luxury Home

There is no definite checklist on what a luxury home should have and what luxury homes should be. But there are a few common traits that most luxury homes in the Philippines share.

What else should you consider when it comes to seeking your luxury home?

1. Consider a Luxury Home With an Open Floor Plan.

The sheer square footage of luxury homes for sale allow future homeowners to capitalize on the airy, grand living spaces. Moreover, luxury homes with open floor plans often come with architectural structures that highlight the expanse of the home, like a grand staircase, for example.

2.  Think About Smart Technology.

The Internet of Things has allowed us to provide technological upgrades to homes. And as more technological innovations get introduced daily, it also helps us to automate repetitive, mundane tasks, and sometimes even help us make smarter decisions in managing our home. Remote-activated locks, climate control, automated central air conditioning and heating systems, and light and alarm systems are just some of the many smart technologies that are now installed in homes, especially luxury houses and lots. Some high-end properties go the extra mile and connect devices to the cloud for data collection and remote management, and even connect it with a smart assistant like Alexa or Siri.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, some luxury homes are built with reclaimed, environmentally-friendly, or smart materials that address property management issues like mold, rust, and dust accumulation.

3.  The Kitchen Should Have Ample Storage and Other Extras.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Luxury homes take it further by offering a commercial-grade kitchen stacked with restaurant-approved appliances, a walk-in pantry or two, additional storage solutions, and extras like a wine fridge or cellar, and warming drawers.

Wealthy buyers also now demand a cozy outdoor kitchen and cooking area for them to be able to prep and cook food, especially those that need to be grilled or have a fishy or gamey smell. The outdoor kitchen should have stainless sinks and counters, a grilling station, and should also look stylish enough to be decked with outdoor furniture for al fresco dining and entertainment.

4. The Luxury Home Should Offer Water Features.

A large swimming pool (or two), jacuzzi or outdoor hot tub, and even a fountain are some of the water features a property seeker would want in a luxury home. These water features not only provide added value to the home, but will also help extend the leisure life from indoors to outdoors.

Not all luxury homes offer onsite water features. However, some are located in exclusive residential communities that offer grander versions of these water features and more.

La Posada at Lakefront Sucat is a residential enclave of classic contemporary luxury homes coupled with the cool San Francisco air and atmosphere, and is supported by modern amenities, including a series of swimming pools and a gazebo overlooking them.

5.  The Luxury Home Should Be Able To Offer Unique, Exclusive Views.

An expansive, private, tree-lined vista, like this one offered at Alpine Villas, trumps any city view.

When it comes to luxuriant living, buyers desire exclusivity. One way to determine that is by its surroundings. Is it located near a busy street, or a mountain full of trees? Is your view of the surroundings uninterrupted, or blocked by another property? The more uninterrupted the views, the more clandestine the location where the luxury home is built on.

Tips in Buying a Luxury Home for Sale in the Philippines

Learn tips on how to search and buy a luxury home for sale in the Philippines.

Now that you have refined the requirements and traits of your luxury home, the next step is to search and initiate the buying process. Thanks to technology, social media, and the Internet, there are many ways to go about buying a luxury house and lot in Daang Hari, luxury house and lot in Sta Rosa, luxury house and lot in Sucat, luxury house and lot in Tagaytay, or luxury house and lot in Cavite, for example.

Here are tips on how to navigate the process of buying a luxury home:

1. Understand the Search Process.

The majority of the luxury houses and lots for sale are unlisted or are rarely published as public listings. This is because real estate brokers want to protect the owner’s privacy or owner information that might be too sensitive to be shared with the casual property seeker. Real estate brokers will proactively share luxury home listings privately if the inquiries have been pre-qualified as serious or willing to go to the next stage. Moreover, not all luxury homes in the Philippines are listed or can be found in online search engines. 

2. Photos are never enough.

Just like any other real estate listing, photos will only provide you a snapshot of the property in time. Thanks to technology, visual and interactive content are now available for you to have a feel of what the property is like. From virtual property tours, 3D unit models, to live site visits, you can better appreciate luxury homes even though their photos are not that appealing or do not provide enough perspective. Some of these luxury homes can also be found on Google Maps, so you can get a better grasp of the community.

You get the assurance of an industry expert when you consult with the best professionals in real estate.

3. Work With an Industry Expert.

You must work with an industry expert who can give you your money’s worth (and time) when it comes to buying a luxury property. 

Brittany Corporation is a luxury homes brand by Vista Land. Brittany specializes in luxury homes for sale in the premium real estate market that stands out in terms of beauty and details. If you are in the market for a luxury house and lot in Daang Hari, luxury house and lot in Sta. Rosa, luxury house and lot in Sucat, luxury house and lot in Tagaytay, or luxury house and lot in Cavite, these high-end, designer properties offered by Brittany are supported by a bustling, themed community, economy, and exclusive amenities. Moreover, the Brittany luxury homes brand is by Vista Land, the Philippines’ largest and most accomplished homebuilder. Vista Land has been unparalleled in delivering real estate projects, including luxury homes in the Philippines with exceptional retail components in both scale and achievement.

Furthermore, an industry specialist will always be open and honest with you, especially when it comes to the community’s long-term plans and the real estate potential of your future luxury property. The Promenade, for instance, is in the heart of Laguna. It is home to eight more themed residential complexes and some of the best educational facilities, as well as three of the country’s top golf courses: Canlubang Golf and Country Club, Sta. Elena Golf Club, and The Country Club, all located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna’s educational and commercial core.

4. Secure Relationships With Your Bank.

Luxury houses and lots for sale are priced in the premium end of the real estate market and sometimes will require specific financing options. As such, you must check with your bank the available financing options you are pre-approved for, and what other documentation requirements you need to get pre-qualified for, in order to view the total contract price of the luxury home you are actually going to buy.

Your real estate broker at this point will also be able to help you look for more luxury home listings if your first choice doesn’t pan out. This way, you wouldn’t start at the very beginning again as your broker may have other luxury homes for you that you might like and qualify financing for.

5. Know What To Expect With Homeowner Associations and Property Management.

The rules that govern homeowners and their properties in residential communities are meant to ensure that the properties are on the trajectory of their future premium market valuations. As such, you need to know and understand what these rules are, including subletting or renting out your property as a vacation rental or homestay, and what you need to know to ensure property appreciation.

6. You Can Always Negotiate.

While there’s no legroom for ready-for-occupancy luxury homes for sale, you can definitely command a particular price on a custom-built luxury houses and lots. For example, the individual points and features of a custom-built, designer home by Brittany make your property one of a kind. Work with a Brittany real estate broker to help you settle on a final offer that your custom-built luxury house and lot command.

7. Document Your Buying Journey.

You are entering into a high-stake, high-return financial transaction, so it is really important for you to secure the right, legal documentation as you go through your buying journey. If possible, do away with finalizing legal agreements verbally, and insist on engaging via email or text for additional documentation. Ensure that all real estate documents are secured legally with the right authorities.

Tucked amidst the undulating peaks of the Cordillera Mountains lies a city that has long been etched in the hearts of Filipinos—a sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the clamor of the lowlands. Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, has transformed itself over the decades. From its humble beginnings as a hill station to a sought-after cultural hub, Baguio is once again reinventing itself—this time as the pinnacle of luxury living. At the heart of this evolution stands Bern, a development where ecological nobility meets contemporary indulgence.

The Luxury of Living Among Peaks

To speak of luxury living in Baguio is to speak of a lifestyle steeped in contrast—cool air replacing humidity, pine trees supplanting concrete jungles, and the whisper of the wind outvoicing the honk of horns. It’s a reprieve. But for discerning homeowners, Baguio is not just an escape—it is an identity. It’s a place where the rhythms of nature invite introspection, while architecture and design respond with reverence.

Bern epitomizes this ethos. Rising like a refined sculpture along the mountainside, the development is a quiet rebellion against the sterile sameness of modern cities. Here, luxury isn’t loud. It’s deliberate, serene, and deeply personal. It’s not just about high-thread-count sheets or marble countertops—though those abound—it’s about honoring the land and elevating the soul.

More Than a Home—A Philosophy

What distinguishes Bern is not merely its elevation in terms of geography, but its elevation of intention. In a world that prizes fast-paced convenience, Bern invites its residents to slow down and listen. To breathe. To live consciously.

This is luxury living redefined—not as material abundance but as meaningful coexistence. Bern does not merely sit atop a mountain; it respects and converses with it. The architecture is organic, designed to blend seamlessly with the topography. Every angle, every vista, is a curated experience that reconnects the individual to the planet, yet wraps them in uncompromised comfort.

To own a luxury condo in Baguio at Bern is to commit to a way of life that values sustainability as much as sophistication. It’s an investment not only in real estate but in perspective—a gentle reminder that we can dwell in elegance without severing our ties to the Earth.

The Mountain as a Muse

The Cordillera mountains have always been Baguio’s most priceless wonder. Their gentle slopes, dramatic mists, and sacred energy have inspired generations of artists, writers, and visionaries. Bern was designed with this inspiration in mind.

Unlike the towering skyscrapers that dominate Metro Manila, Bern was built low and wide, with sweeping balconies and generous glass windows that frame the outdoors like living paintings. Whether it’s the golden hour sunlight diffused through pine needles, or the haunting quiet of fog rolling across your terrace, life at Bern is a poetic encounter with the mountain’s soul.

Each unit is thoughtfully designed to harness the therapeutic elements of nature. Natural ventilation, warm wood tones, and earth-hued textures cultivate a sensory experience that soothes rather than stimulates. It is, in every sense, a return to oneself.

Wellness at Its Core

Luxury today is measured not only by square meters or brand names, but by the wellness it affords. Luxury living in Baguio through Bern speaks to this new paradigm. Here, wellness is not a trend—it’s embedded in the DNA of the property.

Imagine waking up to crisp, pine-scented air that invigorates your lungs, stepping out onto your veranda to practice mindful breathing with a view of forested hills. Walking paths designed for meditative strolls, spa and wellness centers built around local healing traditions, and amenities that inspire balance rather than busyness—all these converge at Bern to form a holistic lifestyle.

This is contemporary indulgence that does not scream opulence but whispers serenity. A life where health and harmony are the greatest luxuries of all.

Legacy Living in the North

Bern is more than a residence—it’s a legacy. For modern families, professionals, and retirees who seek more than just a physical address, Bern offers emotional and spiritual anchorage. It is a place to build memories across generations, to teach children the beauty of quiet, and to age with dignity amidst nature.

Unlike city condos that depreciate in the shadows of overdevelopment, a luxury condo in Baguio carries timeless value. The city’s stringent zoning laws, high elevation, and limited flatlands make properties like Bern exceptionally rare. In this scarcity lies exclusivity—not merely in access, but in experience.

To live in Bern is to claim a rare narrative: one of mountain elegance, conscious design, and meaningful solitude.

The Rise of the Conscious Investor

Today’s high net-worth individuals are more discerning than ever. They seek investments that resonate with their values—properties that are not only financially rewarding but also emotionally and environmentally aligned. Bern caters precisely to this new breed of investor.

As environmental consciousness rises and urban fatigue deepens, the demand for eco-luxury developments is increasing. Bern sits at this intersection—offering a tangible escape and a spiritual realignment. Its design, execution, and ethos are future-forward, anticipating the lifestyle needs of tomorrow while deeply rooted in the natural abundance of today.

This is where ecological nobility meets contemporary indulgence—a rare blend of nature and nurture, designed for those who understand that true wealth is about how you live, not just where you live.

A Cultural Renaissance

Beyond nature, Baguio’s cultural spirit also finds a new expression in Bern. As a UNESCO Creative City, Baguio’s identity is richly shaped by artistry, heritage, and community. Bern reflects this with subtle nods to local craftsmanship and indigenous influences.

From Ifugao-inspired textiles used in interiors to curated art pieces that honor the Cordilleran spirit, Bern does not merely sit in Baguio—it participates in it. Residents are not just homeowners; they are custodians of a culture that is alive, evolving, and deeply soulful.

A Place Like No Other

In a world increasingly disconnected from itself, Bern offers a reconnection—elegant, authentic, and eternal. This is not just another luxury condo in Baguio. It is a manifestation of values: of stewardship over ownership, of depth over display, of harmony over haste.

Luxury living in Baguio is no longer about vacation homes or seasonal retreats. It is now about intentional living. About choosing to root oneself in a place that elevates the spirit, nourishes the body, and respects the land.

With Bern, the future of luxury is not vertical—it’s grounded, literally and figuratively. Here, ecological nobility isn’t just an idea; it’s a lived experience. And contemporary indulgence isn’t about extravagance—it’s about essence.

For those who seek more than just real estate, who seek a refined, reverent way to dwell—Bern is your address. Your sanctuary. Your mountain masterpiece.

There is a certain kind of silence that only exists at elevation. A silence that isn’t empty—but full. Full of pine-scented air, of rustling canopies, of contemplative stillness that money cannot buy—unless you know where to look.

Baguio, for all its familiarity to the Filipino imagination, is undergoing a quiet transformation. No longer just a nostalgic retreat for summer holidays, it is increasingly becoming a stronghold for those who understand that luxury living is not simply about extravagance—it’s about exclusivity, elevation, and escape. And nestled in this transformation is a name that speaks volumes to those with taste, vision, and the means to act on both: Bern.

This isn’t just about real estate. It’s about transcendence. About owning a view—not just of the Cordilleras—but of life from a higher vantage point. This is luxury living in Baguio, redefined.

Owning at Altitude: The Emotional Geometry of Space

Let’s begin with a basic truth that affluent individuals instinctively understand: real value lies not in the price tag, but in the context.

Owning a condo in Metro Manila, Cebu, or Bonifacio Global City is expected—a standard chess move in the game of real estate accumulation. But owning a luxury condo in Baguio? That’s a different strategy altogether. That’s a statement. A whisper, not a roar. And that’s precisely what makes it powerful.

Because here, space takes on a different geometry. It’s not measured in square meters, but in silence. In air quality. In time regained. In the ability to take your morning coffee on a balcony wrapped in mist, with the cool breath of pine trees as your companion.

At Bern, space doesn’t feel engineered. It feels discovered. Each residence is a reflection of the mountains themselves—elegant, enduring, and elevated. The architecture doesn’t impose; it harmonizes. And that harmony—between man-made and natural, between opulence and restraint—is what separates this from anything else on the market.

Legacy Over Lifestyle

The wealthy don’t just buy homes. They acquire legacy assets.

A city condo, no matter how luxurious, is often a transaction—a place to stay, to lease, to flip. But owning at Bern is a philosophical choice. It’s the difference between owning a vacation house and owning a sanctuary. Between investing in concrete and investing in quiet.

This is what luxury living in Baguio offers that no other locale in the country can replicate: the convergence of nature and refinement, of solitude and sophistication. This is where legacy begins—not in high-rise towers with glass facades, but in low-density enclaves that respect the land as much as they elevate the lifestyle.

Bern is not merely designed. It’s curated. From the materials—locally sourced stone, warm timber accents, expansive glass that invites the forest inside—to the experience itself: private wellness facilities, intimate lounges, and vantage points designed for introspection, not just Instagram.

This is luxury built on balance.

The Psychological Luxury of Cool Weather

Ask anyone who’s accumulated a degree of wealth what they want more of, and they’ll tell you: time, space, and peace.

Cool climate, for the discerning few, is not merely about comfort—it is about clarity. It clears the mind the way wealth clears choices. It creates an atmosphere where thinking becomes sharper, sleep becomes deeper, and days unfold with a measured elegance rarely found in the lowlands.

Baguio’s elevation gives it a natural psychological advantage. The temperature is not just a number—it’s a sensory environment. The kind of place where you can wear cashmere in the tropics. Where fireplaces are not decorative, but purposeful. Where the air you breathe feels cleaner, rarer, somehow more worthy of lungs that are used to boardrooms and private jets.

This is what Bern captures in its DNA: the emotional intelligence of climate, encoded into architectural rhythm. There’s luxury in granite countertops and imported fixtures—but there’s deeper, longer-lasting luxury in a place that understands why you came to the mountains in the first place.

Privacy, Redefined

The affluent seek something the world increasingly denies them: discretion.

In a world obsessed with visibility, true wealth prefers invisibility. Not to hide—but to live freely. In peace. Without eyes. Without noise.

Bern is a masterclass in curated privacy. Its low-density philosophy means fewer neighbors, less noise, more space. You are not one of hundreds stacked in a steel tower. You are one of a very select few who understand that privacy is not a barrier to community—it is a precondition for authenticity.

No lobbies filled with selfie sticks. No overcrowded pools. No clubhouses that feel like malls. Instead, the amenities here are purposeful and personal: spa retreats, forest-view gyms, and sky decks that feel like your own private slice of mountain air.

It’s the kind of place where you can arrive by helicopter if you must—but more importantly, where you don’t have to explain why you came.

The Investment That Matures With You

The question is no longer “What will this earn me next year?” but “What will this mean to me in ten?”

A luxury condo in Baguio—especially one bearing the mark of Bern—is an investment that ages well. Financially, yes—scarcity and demand in a tightly regulated heritage city practically guarantee appreciation. But emotionally, it becomes more than that.

It becomes tradition.

A weekend sanctuary becomes a seasonal residence. A vacation spot becomes the default family gathering place. A secondary home becomes a primary retreat. And long after it’s paid for, it continues to pay you back—in clarity, connection, and comfort.

The truly wise investor sees Bern not just as a line item in a portfolio, but as a line in a family’s story. The place where grandchildren learn to slow down. Where adult children return to reset. Where you, finally, breathe.

Why Bern Is More Than a Place

There are places that promise you more. More space, more features, more prestige. But Bern doesn’t shout “more”—it offers better.

It’s better because it’s intentional. Because it honors what the mountains are, instead of exploiting what they could be. Because it was built not just for now, but for forever. And because it understands that luxury living is ultimately not about showing off—but about showing up for yourself.

Showing up for your health. Your peace of mind. Your family. Your legacy.

For those of us who have acquired much, the challenge is no longer acquisition—but discernment. What do we keep? What do we protect? What do we build that lasts beyond our own time?

Bern answers all three questions.

Final Elevation: The View from Above

As you sit on the terrace, wrapped in a thick knit, the city lights below twinkle like a distant constellation. The scent of pine mingles with the faint smoke from a neighboring fireplace. You don’t hear the buzz of traffic, or the mechanical hum of escalators. You hear wind. You hear peace.

This is not just a higher altitude—it’s a higher way of living.

And it is here, in this rarefied stillness, that you realize: “I haven’t just bought into a property. I’ve bought into a philosophy.”

There are places that simply exist—and there are places that transcend. Bern is unmistakably of the latter kind: a place where space, style, and spirit converge in a meditative harmony. A testament to luxury living in Baguio, Bern doesn’t merely offer residence; it offers revelation. To live here is not to dwell—it is to dwell deeply, surrounded by beauty that breathes.

The Rebirth of Mountain Luxury

For generations, Baguio has been known as the Philippines’ Summer Capital, a retreat where the weary found solace in pine-scented air and mist-covered hills. It was a city of charm and quiet escape. But times change, and so too do our longings. Today, a new narrative has emerged—one that intertwines heritage with elevated modernity. At the forefront of this evolution stands Bern, a vision brought to life with the refined taste of the discerning few in mind.

This is not a return to the Baguio of old—it is a reimagining of what luxury living in Baguio means. With design and experience drawn from Filipino warmth, Bern is not just architecture; it is aspiration made tangible.

Space as a Statement

One of the defining markers of luxury living is space—not just physical expanse, but spatial serenity. At Bern, each unit is designed as a personal sanctuary, a quietude above the clouds. Whether it is a two-bedroom suite with panoramic mountain views or a penthouse brimming with bespoke finishes, the residences speak of restraint, not opulence; of curation, not clutter.

Here, the lines are clean, the textures soft, the materials rich but not loud. Natural stone, wood, and earth-toned palettes echo the environment outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Baguio’s ever-shifting moods—sunlight dancing on pine needles in the morning, a slow drift of fog in the afternoon, and stars flickering above at night.

Bern is more than a luxury condo in Baguio; it is a philosophy that elevates living from necessity to nuance.

A Sanctuary of the Senses

What makes Bern truly exceptional is its ability to awaken the senses without overwhelming them. Each amenity, from the wellness spa to the heated infinity pool, has been intentionally integrated to enhance wellbeing—not distract from it. Every experience is rooted in the principle of purposeful luxury.

Imagine waking up to a yoga session as the first light filters through the pines. Later, a glass of red wine by the fireplace as you leaf through poetry or quietly listen to the rain. There’s a rhythm here that resists the urgency of city life. In its place is something rarer: grace, slowness, and the deliberate joy of simply being.

It’s no wonder that many are drawn to Bern not as a second home, but as a first philosophy—a way of approaching life with presence, refinement, and depth.

The Heartbeat of Elevated Community

Baguio, with all its quiet grandeur, is still a city with soul. And Bern does not sit apart from it; it sits elevated, yet integrated. Its location is strategic—secluded enough to promise privacy, yet accessible enough to tap into the city’s cultural pulse.

Art galleries, slow-living cafés, artisanal boutiques, and culinary destinations dot the vicinity, offering residents a chance to explore the richness of Baguio’s heritage reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Bern’s design respects and reflects this duality, balancing global standards with local soul.

This is not just luxury living in Baguio—it is culturally intelligent living, where community, environment, and elegance co-exist with integrity.

The Emotional Architecture of Home

Luxury today is as much about feeling as it is about form. In this new era, emotional architecture matters just as much as physical aesthetics. And this is where Bern truly excels. Every corner, every corridor, every carefully selected furnishing has been chosen to evoke a mood: calm, comfort, connection.

In a world that often equates luxury with spectacle, Bern offers subtlety. It understands that true luxury isn’t always seen—it’s felt. It’s in the hush of a well-insulated room. It’s in the view that greets you every day, never quite the same. It’s in the way the light falls on the floor at sunset. It’s in knowing that everything has been thought through, down to the scent of the lobby.

Here, luxury living is intimate, meaningful, and quietly extraordinary.

The Future of Elevated Living

Bern is also deeply attuned to the evolving values of a new generation of luxury dwellers—those who prioritize sustainability, wellness, and mindfulness. This is evident in its commitment to eco-conscious design and construction. From energy-efficient features to the thoughtful use of local materials, every aspect of Bern is designed with tomorrow in mind.

And so, in a world of fleeting trends and overexposure, Bern offers something enduring: timelessness. It stands not as a symbol of status, but as a statement of taste. In a society that moves ever faster, it encourages its residents to live slower, more deliberately.

For those seeking luxury living in Baguio, Bern is more than a place—it’s a perspective.

An Invitation to the Peak of Luxury Living

Bern offers a rarefied invitation—one extended only to those who understand. It whispers. It waits. And when the right person arrives, it welcomes them home.

In many ways, Bern is poetry built in stone and wood—a lyric written not in ink, but in experience. For those who long for a life elevated not just in altitude, but in attitude, Bern stands quietly among the pines, waiting to be discovered.

This is not just luxury living. This is Bern. And it is unlike anything else.
