Finding a home in Baguio often means choosing between accessibility and tranquility. Some locations place you close to the city’s top destinations but expose you to constant activity, while others offer peace and privacy at the expense of convenience. Soon rising within the prestigious South Drive area, One South Drive is set to offer residents the rare advantage of having both.

Positioned in one of Baguio’s most refined residential districts, One South Drive will place homeowners near some of the city’s most iconic landmarks while maintaining an atmosphere of exclusivity and calm. It is envisioned as an address where residents can stay connected to Baguio’s lifestyle hubs while situated away from the busier parts of the city.

Near Baguio’s Premier Destinations

One of the property’s strongest advantages will be its proximity to premier destinations such as Baguio Country Club, located approximately 0.8 kilometers away, and Baguio Botanical Garden, which is around 1 kilometer from the development. Future residents will also be near The Mansion and Camp John Hay, two of the city’s most recognized lifestyle and leisure destinations.

Long regarded as one of Baguio’s most prestigious institutions, Baguio Country Club is a historic and exclusive proprietary golf club recognized as the first and only multi-awarded, internationally recognized five-star mountain resort in the Philippines. As a membership-exclusive club, it continues to embody prestige and heritage through its world-class golf facilities and refined recreational environment, making the area especially appealing for golf enthusiasts and those who enjoy a leisure-oriented lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Camp John Hay continues to serve as one of the city’s premier lifestyle hubs, known for its pine-lined surroundings, leisure spaces, upscale dining experiences, and the Yellow Trail, a scenic forest path popular for refreshing walks amid cool mountain air and towering pine trees. The John Hay Golf Club within the area also features a world-renowned 18-hole, par-69 championship course that is open to the public, offering residents and visitors a more accessible golfing experience within Baguio’s cooler mountain setting.

Within Camp John Hay, future residents can conveniently enjoy dining destinations such as Le Chef at The Manor, known for its classic fine-dining experience in an upscale setting, as well as Forest Lodge, which offers a more relaxed yet equally refined dining environment with premium-priced selections and a polished ambiance. The area is also home to the well-loved Starbucks Camp John Hay, a unique branch tucked amidst towering pine trees and housed within a charming light-green clapboard bungalow reminiscent of the quaint American-style homes once found throughout the camp, offering visitors a more distinct and atmospheric café experience compared to typical city branches. 

Residents will also be within reach of notable culinary destinations such as 113 Wagner Café, an upscale garden café frequently visited by celebrities and personalities and recognized by Tatler Asia. Known for its beautifully manicured garden, the restaurant offers a stunning, Instagram-worthy backdrop that enhances its romantic ambiance and comforting culinary offerings, making it especially appealing for plant lovers and those seeking a more intimate dining experience. Another sought-after dining experience nearby is Baguio Mountain Man, a reservation-only culinary destination known for its multi-course Cordilleran-inspired menu with a modern twist and immersive cultural dining experience.

Accessibility to Essential Institutions

In addition to lifestyle destinations, the property’s location also places future residents near key medical and educational institutions.

Healthcare facilities such as Notre Dame de Chartres Hospital, Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center, and SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center are all located within a few kilometers from the development, providing convenient access to essential healthcare services.

Educational institutions including Brent International School Baguio, University of the Philippines Baguio, University of the Cordilleras, University of Baguio, Saint Louis University, and Berkeley School are likewise accessible from One South Drive, making the location appealing for families, students, and professionals seeking convenience within the city.

A Quieter Side of Baguio Living

Despite being connected to these major destinations, South Drive continues to maintain a distinctly quieter atmosphere compared to busier parts of the city. Tree-lined surroundings, elevated terrain, and less congested roads contribute to a more peaceful residential setting.

This makes One South Drive especially appealing for individuals and families seeking a calmer pace of living, whether as a future primary residence, retirement home, or vacation property. In a city where tourism activity often fills major streets and commercial districts, South Drive remains one of the few areas that continues to preserve a sense of privacy and exclusivity.

The location also encourages a lifestyle centered on rest and wellness. Future residents can look forward to morning walks surrounded by pine trees, quieter evenings away from heavy traffic, and the refreshing mountain climate that Baguio is known for.

A Low-Density Residential Development Taking Shape

It is within this context that One South Drive, a low-density residential development by Dacon Corporation, takes shape. Managed and marketed by DMCI Project Developers, Inc., the real estate development arm of DMCI Holdings, Inc., the development is envisioned to complement the character of South Drive by offering a more exclusive and thoughtfully planned residential environment in Baguio City.

As the development rises, it is poised to become a residential address that combines accessibility, exclusivity, and the relaxed charm of mountain living. Once completed, One South Drive is set to offer future residents the convenience of city access while providing the comfort of a quieter and more refined environment in one of Baguio’s most prestigious locations.
