106 | LIFESTYLE Summerset Group Holdings: Richmond Villas - Scott Constructio T T Kelly Deeks Resort style facilities prove popular The new village centre includes a stylish dining room and library, a café, bar, hair and beauty salon, indoor pool, and spa. T Tto page 108 Where suburb meets countryside at the base of the Richmond Hills, Summerset Richmond Ranges is now home to more than 300 retired residents, all enjoying the range of benefits that come from village life – high quality homes, safety and security, and the support of a close community. Summerset Richmond Ranges features 230 villas and an 8000sqm community hub/care facility with 56 apartments and care beds. It is sited on part of a former dairy farm at 1 Hill Street North, and offers a relaxed, rural feel with views of the Richmond Ranges and the convenience of being just 3.5 kilometres from Richmond’s town centre. Summerset Group construction manager Joe Roberts says development on site began in 2018 with a new bridge constructed in a joint venture with Tasman District Council, and the water mains being brought a further 1.2km across paddocks from Suffolk Road. “There was a lot to do before we could start building,” he says. “But we think the site we’ve chosen is pretty unique. It’s close to town with a nice rural outlook, and our homes have been selling like hotcakes so far. We’ve sold mainly to local people with a small percentage of people coming from out of town.” Like all Summerset developments, building on site began with the villas and a temporary community hub for the village’s first residents. Joe says villa living at Summerset villages is targeted towards residents who are fully independent and still able to enjoy the village lifestyle and the huge range of activities and resort-style facilities provided, so providing these from the beginning is key to the Summerset offering.
