Escape the hustle and embrace the good life – discover why more seniors are swapping city life for country charm!
With more Aussie seniors swapping city hustle for the affordability, relaxed pace and charm of regional living, there’s never been a better time to make the move.
Here are the top reasons why country living is the perfect choice for over 50s – and how you can create your dream lifestyle at Springtree Cobram (and soon, Springtree Yarrawonga!)
Affordability & financial freedom
One of the biggest advantages of regional living is affordability. Compared to city prices, homes in regional areas offer better value for money, meaning retirees can downsize more comfortably while freeing up extra funds for travel, hobbies and family.
At Springtree, our land lease model makes this even more accessible. With no exit fees, no stamp duty and the ability to keep 100% of your capital gains if you decide to move, you can enjoy the benefits of owning your home without the traditional costs.
We recommend seeking independent legal and financial advice to ensure this option is right for you.
A true strong sense of community
There’s something special about small-town life. People say hello, neighbours become friends and there’s always something happening – whether it’s a local market, a community event or just a casual coffee catch-up. Regional communities are known for their warm and welcoming community spirit, social events and local gatherings, making it easy to build meaningful connections.
At Springtree’s Cobram community, residents enjoy a vibrant and supportive network, with shared spaces and activities designed to bring people together. There’s a real sense of belonging, making it easy to settle in and feel at home.
A healthier, more relaxed pace
Fresh air, open spaces and a slower pace – regional living offers a healthier way of life. Just imagine- less time spent in traffic, and more time to enjoy the things you love. Whether it’s morning walks, gardening, fishing by the river or just reading a book in the sunshine, country living naturally encourages a healthier and happier way of life.
Living in a peaceful, nature-filled setting can also help to reduce stress and support mental wellbeing and an active, fulfilling retirement.
Immerse yourself in the great outdoors
Whether it’s rolling countryside, riverfront views or picturesque vineyards, regional areas boast stunning natural landscapes and plenty of space to explore. Cobram, located on the beautiful Murray River, and Yarrawonga, with its serene lake and golf courses, are both perfect locations for those who love nature and outdoor activities.
Enjoy scenic walks, a sunset drink at one of the local wineries or simply relax with a cup of tea while taking in the view – there’s no shortage of ways to soak up the great outdoors.
Convenient amenities and health care
Moving to the country doesn’t mean sacrificing convenience. Many regional towns have excellent healthcare facilities, local shopping centres and essential services.
Springtree’s Cobram community is situated close to everything you need, from medical centres to cafes and supermarkets. Plus, with larger regional hubs nearby, you’re never too far from additional services and entertainment options.
