The locals are loving life in a secure community with resort-style facilities and without the worry about ongoing maintenance of the old family home &#8211; leaving them free to enjoy the pleasures in life.<\/p>\n<p>A new Clubhouse in the heart of the Estate and the focal point for fun and social events for the Over 50\u2019s residents. Open to all residents, the Clubhouse offers a lounge, bar, library, cinema and craft area, billiards table and al fresco dining area. Plus a pool and outdoor bowling green, are coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>There is a different approach to home ownership here to the traditional retirement village. Residents simply own the home they\u2019re in and pay a small amount to rent the land it occupies. This means no council rates or stamp duty to pay, just a low weekly site fee. It allows home ownership without the cost of buying the land, making it an easy, affordable retirement option.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from just $239,000* there are a range of home designs to choose from with a choice of finish packages. Such as the Wattle (pictured) featuring 2 spacious bedrooms, open plan kitchen and living area and ample storage space. And all homes include a carport.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by parks and wetlands, the Lucas location is only minutes from the heart of Ballarat or there is a thriving shopping centre, caf\u00e9s, speciality stores and a health centre around the corner. A perfect mix of urban and rural living.<br \/>\nFor further information about Lucas Lifestyle Estate or to book an appointment, call Abby or Claire on 5334 1105 or drop in to 21 Harris Drive, Lucas. Open daily from 11am to 3pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NEW community is forming in Lucas of retirees in an exciting new development.
