Land lease models are increasingly popular with Victorians planning for retirement.

VICTORIANS over fifty-five are increasingly seeking to unlock the capital in their homes and invest it in an upgraded quality of life as they approach retirement.

Not wanting to compromise on anything, Stockland’s Halcyon Horizon homeowners can maintain their financial independence while living an active life in a vibrant community.

Halcyon Horizon is a secure gated community where the country meets the coast. Located in the growing suburb of Armstrong Creek in Victoria’s stunning Surf Coast region, it is just 15 kilometres from Geelong CBD and a breezy cruise to Torquay’s famous beaches and The Great Ocean Road.

The more than 50 homeowners already living in the Halcyon Horizon community have all the local amenities and services they need to enhance their quality of life on their doorstep, including shopping precincts, medical centres, parklands, golf courses and wineries.

Halcyon Horizon is a Land Lease Community, in which the buyer owns their home and Stockland owns the land. With this model, there is no stamp duty, and unlike many retirement villages, there are no Deferred Management Fees (or Exit Fees) applied if the property is sold, meaning homeowners keep 100 per cent of any capital gains.

The homeowner pays a weekly site fee which covers maintenance of resort-quality facilities, gardens, council rates and more.

The Horizon community includes premium facilities without burdening residents with the hassle of upkeep.

 

“Land lease models are increasingly popular with Victorians planning for retirement, but keen to remain connected and stay active,” said James Westh, General Manager of Stockland Halcyon Victoria.

“Demand is growing because our homeowners appreciate the simplicity and transparency of our financial model, and are looking for the lifestyle benefits Horizon offers.”

Each Halcyon Horizon home is architecturally designed, and includes exclusive access to a state-of-the-art clubhouse and resort-quality facilities such as a cinema, pool, gym, dining room, a bar, bowling green, pickleball courts, a workshop space and a dog park.

The Horizon community includes premium amenities without burdening residents with the hassle of upkeep.

“Our homeowners enjoy the perfect blend of independence, security, and community connection,” says Westh.

“Halcyon Horizon is about giving you the freedom to live your best life in retirement, surrounded by family and friends who appreciate the same things you do.”
