The coastal homes that resort-inspired, downsizer live, live to one of the most award-winning cities in SA

Victor Harbor has long been in the typical escape by the sea in South Australia – a place of fish trips, family holidays and windy coastal walks.

Now it is a bit more: a destination for more than 55s who want to shrink without losing the lifestyle they have worked hard to build.

Clifton Victor Harbor is a new land lease community of $ 190 million in the city, designed to combine high -quality houses with facilities in resort style.

The project is underway, with the first houses that are expected to start construction in November of this year.

Although not yet officially released, phase one has already received an unprecedented question, according to Clifton Lifestyle Development Director Ben Styles.

“The research level that we experience at this early stage is unprecedented for us – it reflects the strong market for this type of resort,” says Mr Styles.

“We have 40 buyers who have joined our Early Access Club and secure their place in the first release.”

He expects phase one to be sold out in release, where phase two will follow the end of the year.

Houses in the initial phase are expected to be priced from $ 580,000.

A stamp -free opportunity

Landlease communities have evolved considerably in recent years, with the high-quality Builds and Ultramodern facilities that are previously synonymous with Southeast Queensland, which now moved their way to South Australia.

Buyers can look forward to communities that combine the premium finishes and lifestyle facilities of holiday resorts with the unique financial benefits of the Lease model -here in South Australia.

“What we deliver is closer to what our buyers are used to: traditional plates-on-ground houses, built on site with high-quality materials and built with care,” he says.

With the Land Leasing Model, buyers can buy their home directly, while leasing the country that it is of the operator to keep the costs lower in advance.

Residents pay a weekly site costs that help cover community facilities, maintenance and security.

Eligible downsizers can often claim government rental assistance to compensate for those costs.

“The most important attractive thing about Landlease is that there are no stamp rights applicable to the purchase and that the power gain is 100% the buyers to retain; there are no access or exit costs or delayed management costs involved in a Clifton -Levensstijl community,” says Mr Styles.

Victor Harbor buyers can choose from 10 unique home designs, from double garages with two bedrooms, a garage houses to double garages with three bedrooms.

“Our buyers all have the opportunity to adjust those designs to their style and taste,” he says.

“Architectural designed houses, carefully built, with every comfort that our residents expect.”

The country Lease model gives Downsizers a greater flexibility and access to premium communities such as Clifton Victor Harbor.

A direct community

Together with high-quality houses, the community will include a heated magnesium bath of 20 meters, private cinema, vast dining rooms, sports bar, library, art and craft room and a wellness center.

It is as if you live in a resort, but more than the luxurious feeling, the idea is to create an immediate community connection.

“If you move to a lifestyle resort, you will immediately in our case-271 potential like-minded friends,” says Mr Styles.

“Not only do you buy the house, but you buy the lifestyle.”

As more people withdraw and develop friendships and connections, residents tend to form their own clubs and groups based on their interests, he explains.

“One of our resorts has a group of residents who have discovered that they are all Harley Davidson enthusiasts, so they are gone and formed their own Harley Davidson Club.”

The luxury clubhouse in Clifton Victor Harbor is the lively heart of the community.

A smart movement

With the house prices in Adelaide that has experienced an exponential growth in recent years – Data-Realestate.com.au shows that the median house price has risen by 9.5% to $ 916,000 in the year to July – Mr Styles says that pensioners have the opportunity to capitalize while they take their next step.

“Those buyers who have built up equity for the past 20 or 30 years want to shrink to a location where they spent very good Christmas and vacation,” he says.

“They free up capital to supplement or go on holiday their super annuation – without having to give up lifestyle.”

For buyers who want to know more, a Clifton Victor Harbor information event is planned for October 30.

The event will contain Rachel Lane from Aged Care Gurus, the leading expert of Australia in the field of financial advice for downsizers and pensioners.

Registration for this event is now open and buyers can also contact the Sales Office of Clifton Harbor to find out more about the project.
