A busier city life necessitates a vacation home, and Rockwell Land’s upcoming developments in Batangas and Bulacan are set to address this growing need
The allure of the big city can’t be denied—all the films, stories and songs about people yearning to live that shining, urban lifestyle easily come to mind. The conveniences of living in such a place are certainly hard to give up; however, that same hectic energy can sometimes be exhausting, which is why places where we can get away from it all are sorely needed. For many of those who live within Metro Manila, it is also crucial for these spaces to still be within arm’s length of our homes, for peace of mind and a stress-free return trip.

A short two-hour drive south of the metro, Batangas has been a mainstay of family outings for decades. Driving here is already an experience unto itself; as the horizon of the city skyline fades into the distance, it is replaced with a beautiful, nature-rich expanse. The local fisheries, iconic breathtaking vistas of Taal Lake and mountain views serve as a fond reminder of where you are. The environment it provides makes it the perfect place for a picnic under the blue skies with your family, a picturesque backdrop to relaxing yoga sessions, or perhaps even the ideal route for leisurely strolling about the greenery.
Bulacan lies just outside the northern city limits of Metro Manila, which frequent concert goers know all too well. Those familiar with the area can speak at length about its wealth of churches and landmarks, as well as its abundance of forest trails and reserves. Biking or hiking here is sure to reinvigorate and inspire, especially as one breathes in that fresh forest air. Bulacan’s proximity makes it easy to visit, and thanks to the plethora of rolling hills and rugged mountains, glamping and trekking here is an explorer’s dream come true.

Rest, recreation and relaxation come in many forms, and these two charming escape destinations cater to both sides of the spectrum: those who prefer to quietly relax with a good book, and those who lean towards their more adventurous side.
Rockwell Land has recognised the essence and potential of these locations, marking them as the next sites for their latest developments. In Mataasnakahoy-Lipa, Batangas, they envisioned a quiet, peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This 38-hectare locale, which blows with soothing cool winds, embraces what Batangas is known for by creating a place to yourself to relax with your loved ones—and time itself seems to stand still.
Meanwhile, the development in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan serves as a counterpart to this, providing 110 hectares of outdoor adventure, with amenities built to match. As purveyors of refined and uncompromised holistic living, Rockwell has created havens on opposite ends of Manila’s capital, giving you the best of both worlds.
Sometimes the greatest escapes are to places right outside our doorstep, and you need not travel far to distance yourself from the minutiae of city life. The ideal retreat is just within reach, masterfully done as your own cut of paradise— your own sanctuary, whether it’s in the north or in the south. No matter how you choose to rest, there’s a vacation home among the natural, pristine beauty of Batangas and Bulacan just for you, and you’ll be longing for your next return.
