Retirement living, without the catches.

Designed for those not quite ready for a retirement home, but keen for a downsize, with the easy care aspect of brand new homes, built by trusted local firm: Keane Building.

2 double bedrooms + office/hobby room + 2 bathrooms + open plan living/kitchen/dining + single garage with laundry + carpark + quality appliances & a fully landscaped garden.

The Clearing Lifestyle Villas present a unique independent living choice for retirees, without all the strings attached. What you buy is what you own, and when you sell it’s nothing to do with us. An affordable ($72/week) Owners Association takes care of your house insurance, exterior house maintenance/washing, and ensures the common spaces within the complex are kept neat and tidy at all times.

Thoughtfully designed interiors to maximise easy living, the Lifestyle Villas range from 112 - 116m2, with section sizes 247 - 344m2 & priced from just $640,000. 

High-quality fittings including thermally broken double glazing, 100% NZ wool carpets, sustainable hard flooring, tiled bathrooms and showers, high quality kitchens with stone benchtop, soft close draws and highly durable Meltecca cupboards. Panasonic appliances and designer LeVivi tapware selected for ease of use. Energy efficient hot water heating and Panasonic high wall heat pumps to the main living area provide comfort in both the hot Canterbury Summer and cool winter. 

You've found the happy compromise. The Lifestyle Villas at The Clearing North Canterbury: everything you need, and nothing you don't. It's retirement living when you're not quite ready for a retirement home: simple as that.

14 Villas only: 7 street front, 7 on rear lots - accessed via two laneways. High quality specification inside and out, thoughtful layouts (3 options to choose from assigned across the villas), and three interior colour options. Proudly built by local award-winning Keane Building

3 interior colour options.

Carefully selected finishes, for both beauty and durability, with easy care and cleaning too. The perfect backdrop to bring together and celebrate your lifetime treasures & memories. Whether you want to create some drama, warmth, or classic calm - we've got the curated colours ready to go:

WHITE

Our white option provides for an all white kitchen (all upper and lower cabinets) for those who love a clean, understated look. Your flooring (planking and carpets) are also both warmer in tone (see visualisations in link below).

COLOUR OPTIONS

DARK

Our dark option still provides for a base Kitchen in white, but with dramatic upper cabinetry and panelling under the kitchen counter (where your barstools will go). Your flooring (planking and carpets) are also both deeper in tone than those included in the white/light options. The dark option is a classic look to provide a fabulous background for your lifetime of collected treasures and furniture, but with a little bit of dramatic depth (see visualisations in link below).

COLOUR OPTIONS

light

Our light option still provides for a base Kitchen in white, but with added warmth of mid-timber tones in the upper cabinetry and panelling under the kitchen counter (where your barstools will go). Your flooring (planking and carpet) is also both warmer in tone. This is a bright look with depth, which will pair well with most furniture and treasures. (See kitchen visualisations in link below)

COLOUR OPTIONS

Quality throughout.

Every detail of The Lifestyle Villas has been designed with the mature market in mind: from easy grip handles, to quality fittings such as soft close drawers. Showers are the same level as the floor, with nothing to step over and a dedicated home office/hobby room is also included.

A full suite of high performance, but easy to use appliances is included with each Villa (dishwasher, oven, hob, rangehood), and an upgrade package is also available (Panasonic Washing machine, dryer, fridge/freezer).

The first 7 purchasers to join the Lifestyle Villas will receive our upgrade package (worth $3000) for free!
