This is what rightsizing actually looks like

FOR many Australians over 55, rightsizing is a decision that has been put off more than once.

The family home is too big, the upkeep too much, but the idea of moving somewhere smaller has never quite felt like the right trade.

ReGen Living Waurn Ponds is setting out to change that thinking, and now homeowners can see exactly what that means in person.

Four display homes are now open at Oliver Hume’s flagship over-55s community, giving the Geelong region the chance to step inside and experience the detail and design that has shaped the project from the ground up.

Raked ceilings, oversized bedrooms and layouts that balance entertaining with privacy speak to a considered standard of living.

Spacious entries, direct garage access and dedicated set-down areas offer the kind of convenience that makes daily life feel effortless – practical thinking that runs through every design decision.

 

Inside, the interiors strike a balance of materials, tone and texture.

Soft neutrals, tactile finishes and attentive detailing create spaces that feel considered and calm, designed to complement personal style.

Stone benchtops, premium appliances, floor coverings, window furnishings and heating and cooling are all included, so homeowners can move straight in.

The architectural variety on display is equally deliberate.

Rather than a uniform streetscape, Hamptons-inspired facades sit alongside contemporary designs – a choice that reflects the character of the surrounding Waurn Ponds neighbourhood rather than the uniformity often seen in other land lease developments.

“As a Geelong local, it matters to me that these homes feel like they belong here,” ReGen Living Waurn Ponds general manager Ashley Duster said.

“The display homes give people the chance to walk in and see that this isn’t a one-size-fits-all development – it’s been designed with this community, and this region, in mind.”

That same thoughtfulness extends to sustainability.

 

Each home includes solar panels and has been designed as part of an all-electric community, with EV charging points and a shared electric vehicle available for residents.

Light-coloured home schemes and mature canopy street trees contribute to a cooler, more comfortable community – features that also reduce ongoing living costs.

The homes are built by Sherridon Homes, part of the Australian-owned Mirrastone Group (formerly AHB Group) and named Victoria’s largest builder in the HIA Housing 100 Report 2024–25.

Every home comes with a Lifetime Structural Guarantee and undergoes independent quality checks at key construction milestones.

Homes are priced from $630,000 to $834,000, making rightsizing a genuine option for homeowners across the Geelong region who want to release equity from the family home while staying connected to the place they know and love.
