Springtree has created two communities in Yarrawonga and Cobram, just three hours from Melbourne, with sunshine, golf courses, river activities and a friendly, laid back atmosphere; the perfect backdrop for a vibrant over 55s lifestyle.
Many Australians are drawn to the land lease model for the financial clarity it provides. Residents do not pay stamp duty, entry fees or exit fees, and retain 100 percent of capital gains. Purchase contracts are simple and transparent, and eligible residents may be able to access government rent assistance to help offset weekly site fees. This structure gives downsizers confidence and control over their future planning.
Lifestyle is at the heart of the appeal. Springtree features clubhouses designed with warm, welcoming interiors and thoughtfully curated spaces, lounges, function rooms, fitness areas, a bar, and more. Amenities include a swimming pool, bowling green, pickleball courts, community gardens, putting green, golf driving nets, dog park, caravan and RV storage and landscaped walking areas, creating an environment where connection and wellbeing come naturally.
Homes are contemporary, spacious and designed for low maintenance living, with generous bedrooms, open plan layouts and large outdoor areas ideal for entertaining. Prices start at $424,000 in Yarrawonga and $399,000 in Cobram, offering an accessible path to a lifestyle rich in comfort and convenience.
Perhaps the greatest appeal is the ability to genuinely lock up and leave, travelling, golfing, spending time with family or exploring the region, while having the security of a gated community and the support of a full-time team.
Springtree offers a thoughtful combination of lifestyle amenities, modern homes and financial simplicity, making it an option worth considering for over 55s planning their next chapter.
