Eco Lifestyle Villages in WA
Lifestyle Village in the Valley Make a positive
change!
Come and see the benefits for you:
- Zero Exit
Fees – Own your home outright, which means when you sell your
home in the Village you keep all the capital – we get Zero Exit
Fees.
This is unlike typical Retirement Villages where you can pay a number of different fees when you come to leave, which can accumulate to around 1/3 of your capital i.e. if your Village Home “re – sold” for say $300,000, you would only get $200,000 and the Operator / Owner keeps $100,000. Retirement Homes in WA
With respect to Lifestyle Villages, some of them also charge fees up to 20%, when you re-sell your Village home i.e. based on the above example i.e. re-sale of $300,000 home, you would get $240,000 and the Operator / Owner would keep $60,000. - Large
Homesites and more space. Having a large 50ha site
means we do not have to “cram” homes together, like a number of Retirement
and Lifestyle Villages. Our homesites are on average 400m².
Additionally the large site has enabled us to have a number of common areas which include green corridors between the homesites; a large orchard; several dams; walk trails; seasonal wild flowers and Avon Valley views – all good for ones’ wellbeing in having space and enjoying the serenity of the fresh air and open countryside.
It has been said that our Village model is more “Free Range” than “Battery Hen”. - New
Homes with Avon Valley views – Visitors and clients have
often commented on how beautiful, large and well-appointed the display
homes are. The country living theme of having porches and verandahs
has been well received – even the store rooms which are more like studios
have received a big tick of approval.
It should be noted that the homes can be modified to suit ones needs and budget.
Our Murray Home has just received an HIA Award, check it out.
Fast Internet is available with our Fibre connection to each home. - Lower
Living Costs – as a society we are generally living longer
which means we need to stretch our dollars even more, so living on less
for many of us has become a necessary way of life. We understand
that which is why keeping your everyday living costs as low as possible is
very important. This then frees up some of our hard earned money for
holidays and enjoying our retirement years.

wa – if you are on a pension
living in a Lifestyle Village you may be able to receive the Commonwealth
Rental Assistance of $69 per week for a single and $65 per week for a
couple, which you would not get if you lived in your own home. This
is because the Lifestyle Village Model is based on an emerging model for
housing affordability where you own your home and have, in the case at
Northam, an ongoing 60 year lease on the land that you rent. This
land lease model at Northam provides very secure tenure in perpetuity
without you having to pay for the expense for the site creation and costs
for servicing. By only putting your money into your home which you own
outright, you can put the money you saved on land costs into a nest egg
investment or spend on your lifestyle.
- Lower
Energy Costs – our Solar Battery Microgrid will enable you to
use power at a reduced cost and no daily charge – saving your hundreds
each and every year.
- eco
lifestyle villages northam – living
in Northam enables a pensioner who has qualified to receive an annual
“Fuel Card” to purchase up to $575 of fuel and taxi travel from
participating providers
- Organic
Orchard and Garden will provide healthy seasonal fruit and
veggies for Residents to enjoy free of charge. Village Hens –
will not only be able to consume household food scraps, but also provide
eggs for the Village. Yabbies in the dam!
Thinking
About Retirement? – Is a Lifestyle Village for You?
As
people are living longer, one needs to stretch ones resources (cash) for longer
and therefore possibly live on less. One of the main assets one has is
usually the land upon which their home sits.
The
Lifestyle Village Model is where you buy (own) a home in the Village and enter
into a long term (60 years) lease for your homesite (land).
This
way you have the possibility of selling your current home, realising its
underlining land value, buying a new home and saving / using the balance of
funds to support the Lifestyle (that you are accustomed) for longer.
There
is a Weekly Fee which not only covers the lease the homesite, but also the use
the Village Facilities, their operations, upkeep and replacement plus the
management of the Village.
The
Weekly Fee is currently $165 for a single and $185 per a couple. This fee
goes up no more than CPI in July each year.
If
you are in receipt of a pension, the Lifestyle Village Model enables you to
apply for Commonwealth Rent Assistance (CRA), as you do not own the land upon
which the home sits and the homes are relocatable.
Currently
the weekly CRA is around $69 for a single and $65 for a couple. The CRA
is reviewed at the same time the Aged Pension is reviewed (twice a year).
As
we are the owners of the Village, we pay all the rates and taxes and all you
need to pay, other than the Weekly Fee, is for the power and water you consume
(homes are sub-metered), internet and insurance (home and contents).
Hence
living in the Village can be quite affordable at around $100 per week for a
single and $120 per week for a couple.
And
at our Village, it becomes even more affordable with
- Lower Energy Costs;
- Country Age Pension
Fuel Card;
- Organic fruit and
vegetables,
- Village free range
eggs,
- Yabbies in the dam!!!
- Senior living
societies in Perth
It
should also be noted that we have elected to operate under the Residential
Parks (Long Stay Tenants) Act 2006 (WA) (“Act”) and accompanying Regulations
thereby providing great security of tenure to our Residents. Eco Lifestyle Villages in WA
