Cavite is a historical and cultural place. Its picturesque landscape, rich vegetation and charming locals make it an ideal neighborhood to settle in. Being the gateway to the metropolis, Cavite is just an hour drive away that’s why majority of its residents are families working, studying and attending to businesses either in Manila or Makati.

Aside from the strategic location of the place, Cavite is a beautiful neighborhood that embodies the characteristics of both the old and new worlds. The rustic appeal is evident because of the cultural traditions and customs that are still practiced in the area, while, Cavite’s nearness to the city and the influx of modern technology makes it a new world.

Sta. Lucia Realty envisioned their Cavite communities to be like this – a community where families would enjoy both worlds to preserve family values and keep abreast with the latest in modern technology or city life.

One of the developer’s communities in Cavite is Rio de Oro, a modern Spanish village sprawling on 39 hectares of prime real estate property.  Patterned after old Spanish settlements in the country before, the village looks and feels like another place and time in the middle of Cavite.

“We designed the place to really look like a Spanish village. We will build cobble-stoned roads and install old lampposts to recreate a Spanish village. We want future homeowners to feel like being time-warped every time they come home to after a hard day of work or school. It’s some sort of a lifetime treat we want to give future Rio de Oro property owners,” said Mr. Exequiel Robles, President & CEO of Sta. Lucia Realty Development, Inc.

A trademark of any Sta. Lucia Realty development, Rio de Oro will also be a gated, peaceful neighborhood to live in.

“Every weary worker, student or businessman would want to come home to a neighborhood where they can peacefully rest every night. This residential estate will soon be considered the most popular option for families because it feels like being secluded from the rest of the world when you are just a few minutes away from busy commercial strips and establishments,” continues Mr. Robles.

What adds to the mystical beauty of the blossoming community is the quiet river flowing around it. Planted with trees along the riverbanks, the community seems like an elusive muse amidst the greens, thus the name Rio de Oro.

The development is a masterplanned community intended for small to medium families who want to start to invest in building their own homes. It is located along the Gen. Trias Provincial Road, three kms. from Governor’s Drive, and minutes away from commercial and business centers and other important establishments.

“Rio is an affordable community because lots are sold in smaller cuts unlike our other property developments. We believe that every family dreams of owning their own homes and through projects like this, we are helping them achieve their dreams,” said Mrs. Matilde Robles, President of Royale Homes Marketing Corporation, the exclusive marketing arm of Rio de Oro.

Aside from families, the village is also intended for returning OFWs who are investing for their first own house, retirees who want to spend retirement days in an environment that is safe and quiet and employees of neighboring EPZAs.

The location of the community has access to several resort and leisure locations, as well as the largest golf community in the area. But inside the community are amenities that will keep its villagers healthy and active. The clubhouse has basketball court, tennis/badminton court and swimming pool. For nature lovers who prefer open spaces, landscaped parks and children’s playgrounds are provided for picnics, strolling, biking and jogging.

Lots are available in 75 sqm to 150 sqm cuts and are ideal for building row houses or single detached homes at very affordable monthly amortization rates.  Owning a property in Rio de Oro is made easier through the Super Value Home Loan program of Banco de Oro.

This property is another joint venture project of Sta. Lucia Realty Development, Inc. andBanco de Oro – The Universal Bank.
