Coming home to Amiya Raya: A Fulfillment of a Promise

The first time 34-year-old Michael Gargarita saw Amiya Raya, he instantly fell in love with the place, so much so that he purchased his Ramya unit the day after. He describes his first impressions of Amiya Raya as a home away from the city that is in fact near the city.

The transaction may have been quick, but really, this feat of owning a home at Amiya Raya was a result of years of hard work. Michael is currently a regional operations manager for Procter and Gamble and has been with the company for seven years, following his previous stints.

“This is a fulfillment of a promise. That’s why I purchased it actually. When I was younger, we weren’t really born with a silver spoon. I promised my mom that one day, I would be really providing or purchasing a house for her. And then, it did happen. So, it’s really a fulfillment of a promise,” Michael narrates.

I really wanted to have a place that would be able to provide some relaxation and ambiance for my mom at her age, he added.

For Michael, Ramya, his chosen unit, utilizes space well and has a big outdoor area for a garden. During his house blessing, he was able to make the most of the garden as well as its surrounding area, inviting a total of 150 guests for his house blessing.

Getting the unit semi-furnished gave him the liberty to design its details and make it his own.

“I always believe that a house always has its own unique feature or character that showcases the personality of its homeowner. My motif was more on black and gold for the living room, white and gold for the kitchen area, and more of wood type upstairs.”

Amidst the ongoing pandemic, the happy homeowner describes his home “healthy mind setup”, something really close to nature and is conducive for work-from-home arrangements.

Living an active lifestyle, he describes Amiya Raya as a place that allows him #LiveItUp.

“First is the view and I really think we have good amenities. Even if it’s a home away from the city, it still has amenities that can support that kind of active lifestyle that you want, playing badminton, going to the gym, doing a lap via the deep pool.

“I did recommend Amiya Raya to some friends,” he shares.

Amiya Raya's resort living in the new normal

With everything that is happening around us, your home is your sanctuary. It is where you feel most safe and relaxed. Having a haven where you feel free and can do many things, improves your overall quality of life, giving you space to spend time alone or with the people you love.

Owning land can be expensive, and there is a need for well-built and thoughtfully designed quality living spaces that people could enjoy. This is what the people behind Amiya Raya had in mind when they conceptualized the development east of Quezon City. In Hindu-Sanskrit, Amiya Raya means “a view that delights the senses, a description that captures the essence of the development.

 

“Having no choice but to stay home during the 2-month long community quarantine has made many recognize the importance of having ample spaces to move around,” Arlene Jacosalem, AVP - Marketing and Business Development shares.

“Another is that the current pandemic showed us the importance of having a safe retreat for our family: one with big open spaces to make physical distancing possible, a breathable environment to move around in, and scenic views that are ideal, both for working from home and for relaxation.”

Your Sanctuary In The East
The exclusive, an Asian-themed, residential enclave boasts of a stunning 270-degree view of the city, Laguna de Bay, and the Rizal mountain ranges. On February 2020, Amiya Raya launched Phase 4 of its development, which has a limited number of residential lots and cuts ranging from 250 to 755 square meters. With less than 50% remaining in inventory, this phase offers a much more exclusive neighborhood with lots having some of the highest peaks and best views in the said development.

The homes at Amiya Raya allow its residents to to live with nature, a delightful experience for the soul and the senses. Its designs are inspired by various Asian architectural concepts – modern, minimalist and Zen. It boasts of spit-level structures that enhances the use of ground space and opens interesting visual perspectives around the living area. Open your windows and take a view over Manila from the highlands of San Mateo, Rizal.

These structures are also known for their classic, cleanliness, simple yet luxurious appointments, generous open living areas, efficient use of space, and sense of natural tropical style. In the heart of the house design intent, is to blend in, and not obstruct nature.

 

A Balance of City and Resort Living
Amiya Raya is currently working on the completion of its 3,100-square meter clubhouse and sports facility, an 11-hectare nature park, a village center, and a retail area. Situated 240 meters above sea-level and enveloped by its natural environs, it offers resort-like living that is only a 15-minute drive from the city. It is located in San Mateo, Rizal, which makes it close to places of interests such as schools, churches, malls, and government offices.

The stability of the real estate industry makes owning property a sound and reasonable investment. Apart from that you will have your very own place where you can completely be yourself and just be. Check out the two units available:

Choosing a home not far from home

I've come to visit another Ayala property at the outskirts of Manila. Bella Vita Alaminos is just an hour away from busy Makati and just a few minutes from the Batangas-SLEX exit that also caught my attention and got me thinking of where to invest money in the future.

So this Bella Vita Alaminos is next in Ayala properties' socialized housing projects along with Bella Vita Lipa which I've visited before. For Bella Vita Alaminos, while it sits at the foot of Mt. Makiling, you'll feel the cool breeze during North-Eastern winds season. Which I love, because when you live here during that season, it is very peaceful and calming. The area is also accessible to

There are 3 types of accommodation at Bella Vita Alaminos:

Poli Inner and Poli End Units

1. Poli Inner - with a Lot Area of 36sqm and a Floor Area of 22sqm.
2. Poli End - with a Lot Area of 56sqm and a Floor of 23sqm
3. Gemelli - Lot Area of 69sqm and 24 sqm of Floor Area.

To optimize maximum space, my favorite is the Gemelli unit which has provision for a loft which is good for bachelors or a small family. Two Gemelli units are built back to back so you can extend to the other unit if you plan for more space. Plus there is also a provision for parking for your vehicles.

Gemelli - to the Loft

You can reserve a unit already and check out the place for yourself. They accept payment easy payment terms and the price is very affordable for minimum wage earners. You can apply loan from PAG-IBIG fund or reserve a unit for as low as PHP 3,000! Other terms can be discussed by the Bella Vita representative by calling Within Metro Manila (+632) 908-1500. Prices already include the house and lot and you'll be in-charge of how you will customize the interiors by yourself.

You can already find new neighbors in the area and there is also a good playground which you can find safe for your children. In fact, they already had Christmas activities last year which has empowered the community with livelihood programs.

Playground

Residents of Bella Vita Alaminos

Wouldn't it be nice that even the developers of the community uplift the morale and encourage bayanihan among the residents? Making the area sustainable for them and helping them raise their income aside from the employment that they have.

Think how you will spend your earnings. Bella Vita has you covered. They also have other properties in General Trias (Cavite), Lipa City (Batangas), Cabanatuan City (Nueva Ecija), Capas (Tarlac), Cagayan De Oro City, Alaminos (Laguna) and in San Miguel (Iloilo City).
