San Mateo, Rizal (CNN Philippines) — Imagine waking up in your home with breathtaking views at every turn — from the calming sights of the Manila Bay and the Bataan Peninsula to the spectacular Mount Arayat. These are what Timberland Heights offers — the comforts of the countryside and the convenience of urban living, just east of Metro Manila.
This real estate development from Prestige by Filinvest is nestled at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range in San Mateo, Rizal. Rising majestically some 450 meters above sea level and covering 677 hectares of land, every piece of the mountain suburban townscape revels in the breeze and the sun. Timberland Heights rests on gently rolling hills and is embraced by forested valleys.

Timberland Heights is perfect for recreation, with a slew of activities most especially for those who enjoy biking. Topographically blessed, Timberland Heights takes pride in its mountain trails and streams which make it an exciting destination for outdoor activities.
