A move to Lincoln Lifestyle Eden Gardens has delivered the perfect combination of financial freedom, peace of mind and time to enjoy coastal life for a local couple, who have found their slice of paradise on the Sapphire Coast.
Wayne Oldfield and his partner Marie, with their two cavoodles, Bronson and Toby, traded their unit on the NSW south coast for a low-set two-bedroom home at Lincoln Place’s over-50s lifestyle community, formerly Eden Gardens Lifestyle Estate, and never looked back.
“Our neighbour moved to Eden Gardens and told us how good it was, so we came, had a look, and the rest is history. We’ve lived here for a year now and love it,” Wayne said.
Nestled just a kilometre from picturesque Aslings Beach, the estate offers residents easy seaside access.
“It’s so relaxed living on the coast and I really enjoy the climate and the sea breezes,” Wayne said.
“Being so close to the beach means I can walk the dogs along the sand every morning. It’s something I didn’t have time for before, but now we’re only a short drive away and I have a more relaxed schedule, it’s part of our daily routine.”
Lincoln Lifestyle Eden Gardens offers a unique opportunity for downsizers on the Sapphire Coast to truly embrace a new lifestyle. Adjacent to the Eden Sport and Recreation Club, it sits next door to an 18-hole championship golf course and bowls green, as well as being just moments away from the beach.
Wayne said their move had been a positive change providing the couple with extra capital and financial freedom to live life well and the added benefit of a lock-up and leave lifestyle that offered peace of mind whenever adventure called.
“There’s no hustle and bustle, the community is quiet, private and laid back and everyone is friendly,” he said. “Everything is well-kept and secure, and we appreciate that you can go away and not worry about your home. We went up to Queensland for four weeks recently and not once were we concerned about our house.
“The dogs are enjoying the move too. They’re more relaxed with space to play in the yard and will follow me out to sit in the sun or chase butterflies and shadows. It’s been great for them, and us.”
Lincoln Life Eden Gardens Community Manager, Betina Flake, said many residents were drawn to the impressive coastal lifestyle on offer and the various lifestyle amenities surrounding the community, with construction on the community’s clubhouse amenities to bring further facilities onsite.
“Residents like Wayne enjoy daily walks at Aslings Beach or visits to the rock pool on the southern end of the beach,” she said.
“There’s also plenty of vantage points in this beautiful area to catch the whales during their migration season, offering a truly spectacular experience.”
Lincoln Lifestyle Eden Gardens operates under the land lease model, giving residents full ownership of their homes and any capital gains, while leasing the land. There are no stamp duty costs, body corporate or exit fees, or council rates. A weekly site rental fee covers maintenance of the community and access to the extensive lifestyle amenities.
New homes in the friendly estate located at 79 Princes Highway, Eden are available for immediate occupancy and are priced from $500,000. To book a private tour or for enquiries, call New Home Advisor Chris Wilson on 02 6496 3583 or visit lincolnplace.com.au.
