FOR businessman Cristina Leon-Yu and her lawyer husband who both lived their entire single lives in the city, moving out of the metro to Ayala Greenfield Estates, the 350-hectare Ayala Land Premier residential community in Calamba, Laguna, seemed like a bold decision to make.

A PARADISE TO CALL HOME Cristina Leon-Yu and her husband have found a natural sanctuary in Ayala Greenfield Estates, with the residential development bordered by picturesque views of Mount Makiling, the Laguna de Bay, Tagaytay Ridge and Laguna Plains.

“We recently got married and we’ve been looking for properties in the south where we can settle down and build a family. When our friend invited us over to Ayala Greenfield Estates to check the place, we thought it would be too far,” says Cristina

 “We would visit our friend every now and then. We came once a month, then it became twice a month,” reminisces Cristina. “And then we realized that of all the communities we’ve been to, Ayala Greenfield Estates was just incomparable. The more we visited the area, the more we fell in love with it. And it really is just 30 minutes from Alabang! That’s when we finally decided to live here.”

 

A NATURAL BOND In their Asian Contemporary house set on the two adjacent lots the couple handpicked as the ideal location to settle in, Cristina and her husband relax and unwind as they commune with nature after a long day.
With their Asian contemporary house now standing on the adjacent lots the couple has acquired, the two have never been happier. Aside from the natural beauty surrounding the community, its full range of village amenities, the excellent security and, most of all, the friendly neighbors, Cristina loves how close the community is to important establishments. “I find everything accessible. Actually, we still do most of our errands in Alabang. It only takes 30 minutes for my husband to get to his work every day.”

 

But most important, what drew the couple to the residential subdivision was the change of life it provided them.

 

A FRESH LIFE DAILY With its full range of village amenities, the excellent security and, most of all, the friendly neighbors, residents like the Yus enjoy a peaceful, serene life every day.
“When my husband and I were single, we were both very, very busy,” muses Cristina. “Now, we’re more relaxed and we have more time for ourselves. We love seeing Laguna de Bay from our bedroom and the living area. It feels like we have a living painting surrounding our house every single day. The place allows us to just spend time and commune with nature together. It’s really more of an emotional investment for us as a couple. Our home here is our very own sanctuary.”
