Fostering Fun and Friendship for over-60s in the Hills District
STOCKLAND HALCYON GABLES
New South Wales residents over 60 are increasingly seeking a more active lifestyle enriched with fun, friendship and freedom.
Purchasing a home in a Stockland Halcyon community enables them to unlock capital tied up in their homes and invest in a fulfilling lifestyle as they approach retirement.
Located in the charming Hills district, Halcyon Gables offers vibrant, resort-style living and features premium facilities like a cinema, pool, spa, fitness centre and clubhouse, as well as dining room, bar and community gardens.
Halcyon communities operate as a Land Lease Community model, meaning the buyer purchases their home, while Stockland maintains ownership of the land. No stamp duty is applied to the purchase, and unlike many retirement villages, there are no exit fees levied if the property is sold, so homeowners retain all their capital gains when they sell.
Three couples who have bought in Halcyon Gables are Ian and Denise Arnott, Dominic and Pauline Vozzo, and Trevor and Beryl Aspin, for whom downsizing and affordability were key considerations. Beryl and Trevor spent years looking before buying with Halcyon. “We just couldn’t justify retirement village exit fees or give up the opportunity to possibly make money from our home long-term,” she said. “We found Halcyon and said this is the winning formula.”
The six first became friends through their local Probus group but were surprised to discover they would be neighbours. “We didn’t realise we were all looking to buy in Halcyon Gables until we saw each other at the first meeting and couldn’t believe it,” said Pauline. “We even realised that we bought plots on the same street, so we’ll already have friends as neighbours!”
The group is excited to embark on a fresh start. “It’s great to know we will be living in a place where we feel supported as part of a community,” said Dominic. “I am really looking forward to moving into my brand-new home and starting a new adventure.”
