Standing on a 1,200sqm lot, this 200sqm farmhouse-inspired home called Gracia Viviente is postcard-worthy. With a captivating façade and lush outdoors that make it exceptional, the house is the product of the owners’ perseverance and faith.

“Like many people, we’ve experienced challenges during the pandemic but it’s also during this time when opportunities to export our local banig products internationally presented itself. Our mission is to showcase the talent of Filipinos. We’re helping a community of weavers in Samar through our business, URBANigs.ph,” shares Mashie Pacula, the owner of the property.

Through her and her family’s hard work, Gracia Viviente came to life in 14 months. They decided to work on the project and the furniture on their own. “We made our furniture and we used quality materials to ensure durability,” adds Mashie.

To enable others to revel in the serenity of the house, Gracia Viviente can be booked for memorable sojourns with friends and family. Aside from relaxing within its walls, visitors can also take pleasure in admiring the views of Mt. Batulao and Mt. Talamitan.

It’s like you’re entering another beautiful exciting adventure you go through the door,” she shares. Thus, a striking black door completes the façade which also features patterned tiles and potted plants.
