Overview

PERMANENT LIVING CABIN IN SECURE GATED OVER-55'S COMMUNITY

This permanent living cabin is located within a secure gated community designed exclusively for residents over 55 years of age. It offers an affordable home option where site fees are significantly lower than average rental costs, and the purchase price is well below comparable titled properties.

Residents benefit from freedom from rent, mortgage, council rates, and water bills, with only site fees (starting from $162 per week for a single person), power supply, and metered power charges payable. The cabin itself is neat and tidy, featuring two bedrooms and situated on a large site that provides ample space for additions such as a verandah, carport, or even a vegetable garden.

The interior boasts a vaulted ceiling in the entry, lounge, and kitchen areas, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere. Currently configured as one bedroom with a separate study, the layout allows for easy conversion of the study into a second bedroom if desired. The kitchen is fully equipped with essential appliances including a fridge/freezer, microwave, and gas cooker. Additional comforts include air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and built-in robes for storage.

The community is set in a tranquil and scenic environment, just a short walk from Somerville's Yaringa Boat Harbour and popular local dining options. Westernport Harbour Seniors Park spans five acres and is home to abundant native wildlife, enhancing the peaceful setting.

Residents have access to a range of communal facilities including a rotunda with undercover entertaining area featuring a camp kitchen, games area, and open fireplace. On-site amenities also include a laundrette, shower and toilet block, a leash-free dog area, and outdoor picnic and barbecue facilities. The park is dog-friendly, though cats are not permitted, and there are resident chickens to help manage food waste.

Residency is granted to owner-occupiers only and is subject to park approval, which includes the provision of references and satisfactory police checks. Inspections are available by appointment.
