A hidden gem for downsizers

Tucked away in a peaceful waterfront location in Leopold, Pelican Shores Estate offers a rare opportunity for over 50s to downsize into a brand-new home within a safe, secure, and welcoming community.

With stunning views over the bay, this hidden gem is quickly becoming a favourite for those seeking a fresh start for their next chapter.

“We’ve just released our final stage of brand-new homes,” village manager Mireeka Hogan said.

“These homes are already built, beautifully positioned, and ready to move in today, with prices starting from just $430,000.”

Buyers can choose from a selection of modern, low-maintenance homes, ranging from one-bedroom layouts to spacious two-bedroom plus study designs.

Each home features open-plan living and contemporary finishes that make everyday life easy. Many also enjoy water views, providing a peaceful and beautiful setting to call home.

Set at the end of a leafy, tree-lined avenue, Pelican Shores offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle, yet everything you need is close by.

The estate is just five minutes from Leopold’s shops and services, and only 10 minutes from the heart of Geelong. Easy access to everything the region has to offer ensures residents enjoy both convenience and practicality.

The estate also provides genuine peace of mind. Residents benefit from secure gated entry, an on-site team for after-hours assistance, and a strong sense of community where neighbours look out for each other.

“Our residents love the lifestyle here,” Mireeka said.

“You can start the day with a stroll along the waterfront boardwalk, relax with friends in the community centre, or join in a game on the bowling green. There are plenty of ways to stay active and social—if you want to be.”

A move to Pelican Shores not only offers lifestyle benefits but financial ones, too. With no stamp duty, no council rates, and no exit fees, downsizers can free up equity and enjoy more financial security in their retirement years.

“Buying a home in Pelican Shores not only allowed us to free up extra cash, but it’s just such a beautiful place to live,” Pelican Shores residents Norma and John said.

“We have stunning views and can walk our dogs in some of Victoria’s best countryside. The staff are friendly and helpful – it’s just a great place to call home.”

Whether you’re planning to travel, spend more time with family, or simply enjoy a slower pace by the bay, Pelican Shores offers a lifestyle that’s flexible, affordable, and full of possibilities.

With only a limited number of homes available in the final release, interest is building fast.
