Truly a paradise for nature enthusiasts and the perfect retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Mount Malarayat is located in Lipa, Batangas, a mountain plateau, 86km south of Manila.

Malarayat is where the first coffee beans were introduced and planted by the Spaniards in the 15th century.

It is also home to the Philippine palm civet (Musang).

You might see one in the property! ;)
