Through private and public developments, a balanced and peaceful life with convenient access to the metro no longer feels out of reach.

Just an hour and 15 minutes from Makati City, Balete in Batangas is home to Mozzafiato, an upscale residential property that offers a more laid-back life. Lot for Sale in Batangas is no longer just a search term; it’s an invitation to experience a different pace of life at this Lakeside Residence Batangas.

Those looking where to buy a lot in Batangas, dreaming of owning a rest house by the lake or, perhaps, a lakeside residence with scenic views of nature instead of cityscapes can find a reflection of their vision in this development.

Accessible via South Luzon Expressway and the Lipa/Balete Exit of the Star Tollway, Mozzafiato allows homeseekers that need to travel in and out of the metro to be able to do so in just over an hour, which is about the same time or sometimes even longer than it takes to get around Metro Manila.

Residential lots from 359 square meters (sqm) to 3,048 sqm at Mozzafiato can be a smart investment opportunity for a vacation house, retirement property or a permanent residence.

Not only does this premier property in Batangas provide the special perk of living near Taal Lake at a prime spot that overlooks it, but it also allows future residents to live life to the fullest.

With exclusive access to water activities at Mozzafiato’s Boat Club, residents can enjoy the calm of the lake or chase after exciting outdoor adventures.

Whether playing on the tennis court, taking a dip in the pool, shooting hoops at the basketball court or walking/running around the village, every day will feel like a vacation.

Residents and even guests can rent a boat at or bring their own to Mozzafiato Boat Club. Activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing and banana boating are just a few of the available options that promote an active and healthy lifestyle.

After a fulfilling day on the lake or a productive work session, residents can look forward to more than just quiet relaxation. Plans for a future commercial area within the development aim to offer everyday conveniences and leisure options close to home. Envisioned with charming, canal-inspired design elements, this area is intended to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings while providing easy access to Taal Lake even by boat.

With modern infrastructure in place, the area has strong reception and internet connectivity, supporting different work styles and lifestyles. Whether working remotely or in a hybrid setup, residents can rely on both digital and physical connections.

Mozzafiato is just 15 minutes away from Lipa City, a short distance to nearby essential services, shopping centers such as SM Lipa, great dining options and recreational spaces, among others.

Since the project’s inception in 2019, it has generated job opportunities for locals, contributing to the city’s growth and development. In terms of safety, the 2020 Taal Volcano eruption has proven that the community has remained largely unaffected by the volcanic activity despite its proximity.

Developed by Pioneer Real Estate Developer Active Group, Mozzafiato in Balete, Batangas will offer a fresh take on luxurious lakeside living upon its full completion by 2027. As of this writing, two phases of the project have been successfully developed.

Mozzafiato is just one of the scenic luxury properties in Batangas. From quiet mornings by the lake to lively city nights, residents can enjoy the best of both worlds at Mozzafiato, where countryside living is just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.
