The Dàlat at 1200 Focuses on Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability 12:00, 24/08/2016

Located southeast of the Club House and next to fairway 14, the new 28,000 square-metre rice paddies are sure to contribute to the Private Estate’s passion for organic, farm-to-table freshness. The new paddies are tended by local farmers, where The Dàlat at 1200 continues its initiative to foster support for those living near the estate.

“There are some things money cannot buy,” said Mr Tang Kay Hwa, Executive Director of The Dàlat at 1200. “You can’t buy fresh air but you can buy property in a stunning setting that freely provides fresh air and organic food. Where climate change and food safety are two of the largest concerns in the world today, our holistic concept, as envisioned by Centurion Group, helps elevate The Dàlat at 1200 to a world-class private resort.”

In the short term, rice paddies require water or flooding almost constantly, but will start to show growth within the first week. Within four months the rice paddy will be mature enough for cultivation. While, in the longer term, the fields use little water and are an excellent and efficient way to circulate water as they help to regulate flood water and replenish groundwater. Further, rice paddies beautify the property, purify water, regulate the temperature and generate more oxygen.

In a continued effort to manage resources responsibly, The Dàlat at 1200 has created an additional 200,000 cubic metres of water storage and catchment to provide sustainable water resources for recycling, storage and use throughout the resort. This equates to more than 750,000 cubic litres of water capacity.

“We take special care to maintain environmental awareness of our surroundings,” said General Manager David Hill. “By adding two new rice paddies and expanding our water storage to more than 750,000 cubic metres, we are further ensuring that our project continues to set the standard and remains a leader in environmental protection in Vietnam.”

Located 15 minutes from Dalat’s international airport and built on 850 hectares of rolling hills and fragrant pines, The Dàlat at 1200’s luxury villas and resort residences offer the best in hill station living. Set around a par-73 championship course, the Country Club & Private Estate has firmly established itself among the leading developments in Vietnam’s luxury segment.

The Dàlat at 1200 features four types of stand-alone villas with plots from 800m2 to 4,800m2 and a total build-up area from 250m2 to 836m2 of internal and external decking and patios.

The resort residences are 1, 2 or 3-bedroom units, where the penthouse units have wrap-around balconies and 214m2 of internal and external living space.

Breaking ground in November 2015, the first set of luxury villas are expected to be complete in Q3 of 2017. A 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom resort residence unit will be complete for viewing by December 2016. By invitation only, guests can visit the site to play a round of golf or take a tour of the growing community.
