Nature means different things at different stages of life.
Children can spend after-noons outdoors, parents can fit movement into the start or end of the day, while older family members can enjoy quieter walks and open views. On weekends, these individual routines can easily become time spent together.
That is the lifestyle en-visioned at Trealva by Highlands Prime, Inc. (HPI), a pioneer in upscale leisure property development in the Philippines and a subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime).
Located in Talisay, Batangas, Trealva is a 19.9-hectare residential community and the first development within Mid-lands West, Tagaytay Highlands’ newest district.
It is close to the established leisure amenities of Tagaytay Highlands, with the Mid-lands Golf Course Club about one kilometer away and The Country Club approximately six kilometers from the community.
Its setting also opens up expansive views of Taal Lake, Mt. Makiling and Mt. Banahaw, giving the community a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape.
Set 140 to 238 meters above sea level, it enjoys mild temperatures and cooler mornings and evenings that make the outdoors easy to enjoy throughout the day.
With 231 residential lots and about 40% of its land area devoted to open spaces and amenities, Trealva gives families more opportunities to experience the outdoors as part of ordinary life.
Its low-density plan creates greater breathing room between homes, preserving a quieter setting where greenery and open views remain part of the experience.
Much of that experience centers on Nurture Park, which is organized into passive, active and adventure zones.
For younger residents, play lawns, sand pits, play mounds and stepping stumps turn the outdoors into a place for exploration. As children grow older, bike lanes, jogging paths, a native trail and activity lawn offer more active ways to use the landscape.
Adults can use these same spaces at their own pace, whether for an early morning run, a bike ride or a walk after a long day. Quieter spots, including the rain garden and landscaped open spaces, offer room to slow down and savor life.
The Eco-Park extends this connection with nature, providing another green space for walking, recreation or simply spending time outside.
At the clubhouse, outdoor living becomes more social. Adult and kiddie pools allow different generations to enjoy the same space, while the playground, event lawn and multipurpose pavilion provide settings for family gatherings, celebrations and community activities.
Trealva’s emphasis on nature is not limited to recreation.
It extends to how the whole community is planned, landscaped and built.
Indigenous and native plants are integrated into the landscaping, while rain gardens and permeable paving help respond to the site’s natural conditions. Microclimatic landscape design supports outdoor comfort, and underground utilities help preserve views toward the lake and mountains.
Homes are likewise encouraged to maximize natural light and use locally sourced materials, reinforcing the idea that the built environment should work with the landscape rather than compete with it.
This approach earned Trealva the Best Nature Integrated Development award at the 2025 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards.
With turnover of residential lots now underway, families can begin creating homes in a community designed to evolve with them from childhood play and active family years to quieter moments later in life.
At Trealva, the setting offers every generation its own way to enjoy the outdoors, while giving families more reasons to enjoy it together.
