Overview

Set within a tranquil gated community dedicated to over-55 owner-occupiers, this well-maintained and fully renovated property offers peaceful living in a secure environment. The community enjoys a scenic location just a short walk from Somerville's Yaringa Boat Harbour and the well-known Captain Jack's Restaurant, positioned at the end of a no-through road to ensure minimal traffic disturbance — ideal for those seeking quiet and privacy.

Spanning five acres, the Westernport Harbour Seniors Park provides not only ample outdoor space but also an enriching natural environment, with native wildlife such as koalas and echidnas frequently seen alongside diverse birdlife. Residents benefit from a variety of communal facilities including a rotunda with a camp kitchen, games area, open fireplace, laundrette, shower/toilet block, leash-free dog area, and outdoor picnic and barbecue amenities. The pet-friendly park encourages an active and social lifestyle, though cats are not permitted, and resident chickens help with organic waste disposal.

This property is an affordable option for permanent residence, featuring an on-site caravan complemented by a quality aluminium annex. Free from burdensome costs of rent, mortgage, council rates, and water bills, the ongoing expenses are limited to site fees (approximately $170 per week) and metered power, making it a practical choice for downsizers or retirees looking to reduce living expenses without compromising on comfort.

  • Accommodation includes a large main bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom that also has provision for a washing machine.
  • The living areas comprise a spacious living/dining room and a separate kitchen, with additional guest bedding provision enhancing flexibility.
  • A double carport with direct access to a spacious enclosed front veranda offers an inviting spot for morning breakfasts, outdoor cooking, and entertaining guests.

The low-maintenance site gives residents more time to enjoy community facilities and the natural surroundings. Properties in this highly sought-after park rarely become available, highlighting the desirability of this home. Residency requires owner-occupier status plus park approval on submission of references and police checks, ensuring a safe and harmonious community.
