1. What is Tierra Maria Estates?

Tierra Maria Estates is a residential farm lot subdivision located in Barangay Anilao, Lipa City, the center of Southern Tagalog. It is about 80 kms. from Makati City and takes only an hour and 30 minutes travel time. Tierra Maria Estates is located 3 to 4 kms from the center of Lipa City. 

 

The whole property is 33 hectares-- developed from a natural orchard and bird sanctuary. The developer, Mary’s Garden Realty, preserved the natural landscape to provide a fresh, unpolluted environment within reach of urban comforts.

2. How is Tierra Maria Estates different from other residential farm lot subdivisions? 

The area of Tierra Maria Estates (TME) was originally natural orchards. TME has preserved and minimized cutting down of fruit-bearing trees that attract birds. TME also did not cut and fill the lots to preserve the soil’s ecological health.

3. What is the physical landscape of the property and the general ambiance

     of the community?

Tierra Maria Estates has exceptionally lush vegetation. The project area is slightly rolling and has very fertile soil with mature, fully-grown trees such as acacia, mahogany, coffee and fruit trees (like coconut, langka, dalandan, lanzones, etc.) and many varieties of flowers. It is uncommon to find mature trees in other residential-farm developments as most are cut down in the course of construction. This preservation of the land’s natural resources makes Tierra Maria teem with various trees and plants to ensure a healthy and ecologically sound environment.

Lipa City provides an ideal setting in which to build a home because it combines the conveniences of an urban center with the stress-free rural life.

 

Due to its high elevation, Lipa City is generally cool throughout the year, with an annual average temperature of 23° centigrade, providing relief from the hot climate and pollution of the metropolis.

 

Being in the center of Southern Luzon, Lipa expects to lead the region as a financial and business center, which is an added advantage to investors and developers.

Domestic pets are allowed.  Landowners are encouraged to have their pets properly vaccinated, and not to let their pets roam around unattended in common areas. 

 

10. Does the property sell houses, aside from the lots? 

Only lots are being sold by the developer. House-and-lot packages are under study. Tierra Maria can refer lot-buyers to some builders for their building needs.

11. Who are the people behind Tierra Maria Estates? 

Tierra Maria Estates is developed by Mary’s Garden Realty. Its President Mr. Antonio Montinola, together with his family, started visiting  Lipa City in the early 90’s for prayer.

 

The Montinola family has been in land development since the 1970s in Silay City (Antilla and St. Francis Subdivisions) and Bacolod City (Villa Maria Reyna). It was then quite natural for them to seek a beautiful wooded area in Lipa for a subdivision, with the dream of providing a setting that would promote a tranquil lifestyle for the homeowners and enhance their health of mind, body and spirit. They saw the potential for all this in the property which is now Tierra Maria.

 

Tierra Maria Estates advocates environmental protection. The people behind it were inspired to develop this residential community in reverence to the Blessed Virgin Mary but have set no prejudice to race, politics or religious beliefs.

12. What are the current environmental activities that Tierra Maria Estates is supporting? 

TME is encouraging organic farming, and supports the option of lot owners to grow plants commercially. An agriculturist consultant is available to buyers.

 

Currently, TME has tested an organic farming method that it can share with lot buyers. Free lectures on environmentally-sound practices and livelihood projects are also being scheduled. The first of the series of free lectures was on Cultivation of High-Value Crops---Vegetables, Fruits, Ornamentals and Herbs and Spices.

13. What other developments make Tierra Maria Estate a worthy investment? 

Several improvements are still underway for Tierra Maria Estates. The tennis court and additional portions of the Meditation Park will be completed soon. A secondary gate has been constructed.

 

The expansion project at the South Luzon Expressway and its link towards the Star Tollway will further shorten travel time from Metro Manila.
