102 | Lock up and leave lifestyle Freedom Lifestyle Villages are an excellent choice for empty nesters wanting to downsize. T T from page 100 Freedom Lifestyle Villages Ltd: Ravenswood LIFESTYLE “Our residents are mostly active couples, either still working, semi-retired or retired, who want a community-like lifestyle that is safe and secure. However, they also want to stay market relevant.” Having the perfect lock up and leave lifestyle in a secure and welcoming community is very appealing for those choosing the Freedom way of life. Freedom Lifestyle Villages are an excellent choice for empty nesters wanting to downsize and live life their way. Every village has motorhome friendly facilities. At the new Ravenswood site, a village centre and communal workshop are also in the pipeline, earmarked for the end of 2025. “The Freedom concept is centred on the idea of having more capital to enjoy your leisure time, which for a large portion of our residents includes their beloved motorhome and having the ability to easily travel. By owning a low-maintenance, brand-new home in a safe community of like-minded residents, you can achieve this goal. This lifestyle allows you to enjoy your leisure more fully and without worry.” While the concept is still relatively new in New Zealand, it is proving very popular with Freedom’s first three villages having sold quickly, resulting in waiting lists. Freedom Lifestyle Village at Ravenswood is well-designed, with ample green spaces and shared areas for residents to enjoy. Seven show homes are open for people to view, seven days a week, Mon-Fri 10am to 4pm and Sat & Sun 11am to 3pm at 30 Bob Robertson Drive. A range of attractive modern one- to three-bedroom options are showcased, all well-planned with rake ceilings, modern appliances, timeless colour and décor, and clever storage solutions. In high demand are competitively priced two-bedroom, two-bathroom options. A gorgeous two bed/two bath option at Ravenswood is The Ashley. This is a beautifully spacious low-maintenance home, where everything has been designed for easy functionality and to simplify day-to-day living. Designed for South Island conditions, all homes include outdoor patios and spacious internal living areas. Freedom Lifestyle Village at Ravenswood’s weekly fees - starting from $160 per week – cover a range of costs/services such as gardens and lawn maintenance; use of village facilities including village centre, communal workshop and village van; mail room facilities; security (patrols, CCTV and gated vehicle access); village management services; rubbish collection; and rates.
