More homes in a land-lease community designed for over-50s have been launched, with the first release nearing a sell-out.
Stockland Halcyon Coves has seen strong demand since its launch, and will eventually have 431 architecturally designed homes and resort-style facilities spread over 20 hectares.
Located at Caloundra South, it is the developer’s sixth land-lease community on the Coast and the second in the Aura masterplanned community, following Halcyon Nirimba.
Halcyon Coves launched its first 35 homes in June, and has now released a further 25 homes.
Stockland project director Andrew Astorquia said interstate buyers were having a notable impact on demand, making up 12 per cent of all inquiries for Halcyon Coves.
“The Sunshine Coast, along with the broader South-East Queensland region, continues to see strong demand for homes from over-50s, with settlements doubling year-on-year in the last financial year. The success of the foundation release at Halcyon Coves reflects this demand,” he said.
“While local buyers from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane continue to show solid interest, we’re also seeing increased inquiry levels from interstate buyers – particularly from New South Wales and Victoria – who are attracted to the Sunshine Coast’s lifestyle for their retirement years.”
Interstate buyers Anne and Peter O’Dwyer, from Batemans Bay in NSW, are eagerly anticipating their move to the Sunshine State, with their new home at Halcyon Coves expected to be ready mid-next year.
“After spending the last 15 years holidaying on the Sunshine Coast, we fell in love with the Maroochydore and Caloundra areas,” Ms O’Dwyer said.
“Peter was initially reluctant to move, as we have spent most of our lives in Canberra and Batemans Bay. But, during a visit to Moreton Bay, we stumbled upon Halcyon Coves, took a tour, and were immediately impressed by the friendly staff and high-quality homes.
“To my surprise, Peter put a hold on a home right there and then.”
Under Stockland Halcyon’s land-lease model, homeowners get the benefit of conventional ownership while benefiting from no exit fees, allowing them to retain capital gains when selling their property.
The Halcyon Coves facilities will include a lagoon-style pool and clubhouse, pickleball courts, community gardens and bowling green.
It will also feature a communal hub known as The Horizon, a state-of-the-art recreation precinct for entertainment, creativity, health and wellness.
