If you are thinking of downsizing and moving to a lifestyle that is worry free, Balladong Country Estate could be for you.
The Global Care Group’s Balladong Country Estate in York consists of 45 independent living units. For a limited time, remaining units are discounted by up to $151,000.
All two-bedroom villas are sold out but eight three-bedroom villas are available for $249,000.
With this option, you can market your home for a more realistic price in the current property market, move into a well-appointed unit within a retirement village and still have a nest egg left over to buy a caravan or travel.
The lease-for-life units come in two or three-bedroom configurations and include an ensuite, private courtyard, open-plan living, well-appointed kitchen, neutral decor, ample storage and a single or double garage.
The homes are designed to be age-friendly, meaning you can comfortably live there despite the frailties often associated with ageing. Features include wider hallways and doorways, no steps, higher power points and bathrooms designed to accommodate wheelchairs.
Each unit also has a 24/7 emergency call system, pets are welcome and secure parking is available on-site for boats and caravans. There is also a 26-bed aged care facility and residents can use the estate’s community centre.
Global Care Group organisation CEO Colin Bahn said the double-brick freestanding units are a great option to retire to the country yet remain near Perth, a great opportunity to free up equity and, with Balladong’s low monthly maintenance fee of just $280, to take the worry out of maintaining a block.
“Balladong Country Estate residents are able to get involved in many of the York community activities throughout the year, including antique fairs and classic car shows,” he said.
Vibrant York continues to host many community events throughout the year. With Midland just an hour away and the SuperTown of Northam only 20 minutes away, it has cafes, bakery, supermarket and hotels just a short walk from the estate.
“Balladong Country Estate provides the perfect mix of country and community, allowing residents to find peace and quiet whilst knowing there is still a lot going on should they wish to get involved in social activities,” Mr Bahn said.
Activities include friendship groups, sports days, knitting group and the tile game Rummikub.
“If you’re looking for social interaction, it’s there, but if you want privacy, you can have that as well with the security of living in a village environment,” Mr Bahn said.
He said residents hail from York, the Wheatbelt, the Hills and the metropolitan area, and they are a very welcoming community. For more information, phone Mr Bahn on 1300 812 790 or visit globalcareinc.com.au.
