Premium Communities We Serve

Sta. Elena Golf & Country Estate

The crown jewel of Cabuyao’s residential market — a 200-hectare master-planned estate anchored by one of Asia’s finest golf courses. Developed by Rico Tantoco’s Sta. Elena Properties, this ultra-premium community represents the pinnacle of provincial luxury living.

The Golf Course: 27 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “100 Best Golf Courses Outside the United States” and certified as an Audubon Society nature sanctuary. The course spans 87.9 hectares of forests, fairways, lakes, and river streams.

Five Residential Villages:

• Banahaw Circle — A 13-hectare “island village” completely surrounded by Banahaw fairways. Only 107 lots (600-1,200 sqm) accessed via a scenic 500-meter road crossing the golf course to a stone bridge entrance. The ultimate in privacy and exclusivity.

• Makiling Reserve — The estate’s largest lots (1,100-2,200 sqm) situated along the first nine holes. For clients seeking substantial grounds for serious landscape investment.

• Sierra Madre — A 20-hectare village with lots from 350-750 sqm, featuring separate service roads for enhanced privacy. Located on the estate’s east side.

• Marina Grove — Launched in 2011, continuing the estate’s lifestyle concept development.

Estate Amenities: Banahaw Clubhouse, Club 22, award-winning cuisine by Chef Joseph Goh, village clubhouse with pools, 4-storey observation tower, 500-meter forest fitness trail, nature sanctuary, and fun farm.

What This Means for Landscaping: Properties at P50M-P200M+ demand landscape quality to match. Fairway-view gardens, specimen plantings, sophisticated hardscape, and designs respecting the Audubon-certified environment. These are legacy properties deserving legacy landscapes.

Landscaping in Cabuyao: What to Consider

Ultra-Premium Standards

Sta. Elena Golf & Country Estate sets a standard comparable to Forbes Park or Ayala Alabang Village. Landscape design must match properties valued at P50M-P200M+. This means:

• Specimen-grade plants, not nursery stock
• Mature trees for immediate impact
• Premium hardscape materials
• Sophisticated irrigation and lighting
• Design that complements Robert Trent Jones Jr. fairways

Golf Course Community Design

Fairway-adjacent properties require specialized approach:

• View preservation — Plant selection respecting sightlines
• Height management — Trees and palms positioned appropriately
• Course compatibility — Species that complement rather than compete
• Audubon considerations — Native and nature-friendly selections

Industrial/Commercial Requirements

Corporate clients prioritize:

• Professional, polished appearance

Flood-Prone Lakeshore Areas

Barangays near Laguna de Bay — including Baclaran and Niugan — experience seasonal flooding. Peak water levels typically occur late August through September. Landscape design in these areas requires proper drainage, raised beds, and flood-tolerant plant selection.
