Experience retirement living with stunning views overlooking a golf course from your alfresco area. This property offers the lifestyle and facilities expected in a premium Lifestyle Resort, combined with the convenience of nearby hospitals, doctors, major shopping centers, and cafes, all just minutes from your doorstep. Escape the busy southern states and embrace a new way of life in sunny Bundaberg, Queensland.

This impressive, oversized home is situated within the prestigious, secure, and pet-friendly Thyme Lifestyle Resort in Avoca, Bundaberg. This exclusive gated community is designed for those over 50 seeking luxury, connection, and peace of mind. Each day begins with magical elevated views over Spring Lakes and the lush golf course, providing a perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

The heart of the home is the expansive living area, thoughtfully designed to maximize the spectacular outlook across Spring Lake and the manicured golf course. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring premium stone surfaces. High ceilings and an open-plan layout create a seamless flow to the alfresco space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining while enjoying serene elevated views.

The resort spans 50 acres of beautiful land, including spring lakes and varied elevation. Of these, 29 acres are dedicated to a meticulously maintained golf course and open spaces. No other over-50s resort living in Bundaberg offers such breathtaking views while being conveniently close to the Bundaberg CBD, shopping, and medical precincts.

Living in this over-50s resort offers many benefits. The resort itself becomes your suburb, inhabited by residents who are homeowners, not tenants. Buyers must purchase with cash as loans are not available for buying into the resort, ensuring a community of financially secure individuals. The gated community is very secure with low speed limits, providing a safe environment free from hoons. For those who love to travel, the resort offers a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle with caravan and boat storage facilities available.

The community is generally composed of people at a similar stage of life, making it easy to connect and socialize. Residents can enjoy privacy in their own homes while having opportunities to meet like-minded individuals in a relaxed and friendly setting. The resort provides a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of activities and social opportunities.

The resort clubhouse is an ideal place to meet new friends, socialize, and relax. Amenities include a 9-hole golf course, lawn bowls, gymnasium, walking and cycling paths, a full cinema, heated undercover swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, library, art and craft room, pool table, BBQ and dining areas, pizza oven, community kitchen, hobby shed, and even a citrus orchard.
