Megaworld's Arden Botanical Village promises an idyllic residential enclave close to nature

- CARLA MORTEL BARICAUA

A green sanctuary grows in the South

With 90 percent of lots sold out, future residents of Arden Botanical Village are looking forward to spending better and longer lives in a residential development connected to nature and community.

Arden Botanical Village is purposely designed to retain and preserve the natural beauty and landscape of Cavite, where man-made structures are meant to blend in harmony with the existing ecosystem, which promotes longevity and sustainable living.

Located on the boundary between Trece Martires City and the municipality of Tanza, the upscale residential property is approximately 60 minutes away from NAIA, 70 minutes away from Makati via Skyway, and 85 minutes from BGC via SLEX.

The 18.1-hectare Arden Botanical Village has 329 residential lots, with sizes ranging from 280 to 609 sqm, spread over an 11.6-hectare saleable area. For a low-density housing plan, each hectare is divided into 18 lots. Open spaces occupy 40 percent of the total land area, with 20 percent dedicated to green spaces and water features.
