What is a Land Lease Community? (And why it’s great news for Gympie!)

There’s a bit of a buzz around Gympie lately… and no, it’s not just the lingering excitement from the recent Gympie Muster. It’s because Liven Willow Rise has landed – and with it, a brand-new way to enjoy an enlivened lifestyle for over 50s in Southside Gympie. We’re talking about something totally fresh for the region: A resort style community built on a land lease model.

But if you’re sat there thinking ‘what’s a land lease community?’ we’ve got you covered! (…and are here to explain it!)

So… what is a Land Lease Community?

Put simply:

You own your home and lease the land it’s built on. Yep – no tricks, just a clever and flexible way to enjoy your next chapter.

Here’s how it works:

• You buy your brand-new home that’s bespoke to Liven Willow Rise
• You lease the land from us – this means no entry or exit fees, no stamp duty, no council rates (all a huge win-win!) AND if you ever choose to sell your home you keep all of your capital gains
• You enjoy resort-style living every day in a luxury community with an abundance of amenities just moments from your front door – think a stunning pool, clubhouse, golf simulator, private dining, bar and lounge and much more – you name it, Liven Willow Rise has very likely got it!

But why would I want to lease the land?

In a nutshell, leasing the land your home is on unlocks a whole host of serious perks! Let’s dive into them…

• More money in your pocket – With no stamp duty, no entry or exit fees, no council rates and the potential to access government rental assistance, many of our solo groovers and duo movers find they can free up more money to enjoy the enlivened retirement lifestyle they deserve.
• Stunning resort-style living every day – Being part of the Liven Willow Rise community gives you access to an array of premium resort style amenities. From a sparkling swimming pool to a clubhouse, bowling green, library, and more, our communities offer everything you need for an enlivened lifestyle – all conveniently in walking distance from your front door.
• A true sense of community – At Liven Willow Rise, community takes centre stage. It’s a place where neighbours become friends and community events bring people together. Whether you’re a solo groover or duo mover, you’ll find connections that matter at Liven Willow Rise.

So… Is it similar to a Retirement Village?

Nope! While we are for over 50s, Liven Willow Rise is not a retirement village.

As mentioned above, there’s no entry fees, no exit fees, no deferred management fees and if you choose to sell 100% capital gains are yours to keep.

And honestly, the word “retirement” doesn’t quite fit our vibe. This is resort-style living where luxury meets the land and home isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling.

Whether you’re a Netflix binger, an open road explorer, a lane swimmer or a lilo lover, whatever it is that drives your next move, we’re excited to welcome you home to Liven Willow Rise.
