Why Living Gems?
Living Gems is a lifestyle resort made for over-50s who might be done with work — but definitely not done with life.
Our communities are full of people who are active, independent and up for just about anything. You’ll own a stylish, quality-built home packed with the kind of inclusions other places call ‘extras’ — think solar power, energy-efficient appliances and more.
You’ll also enjoy peace of mind thanks to on-site management, plus some pretty incredible resort-style facilities right on your doorstep, like:
- a grand ballroom and theatre stage
- bar and lounge
- games room
- cinema
- library
- art and craft studio
- music room
- gym
- heated pool, spa and sauna
- BBQ pavilion
- and plenty more
Best bit? It’s all surprisingly affordable thanks to our land lease model — your rights are protected under Queensland Government law, and there are no hidden surprises.
Living Gems resorts are built in places people genuinely want to live — where natural beauty meets vibrant community, and everything you need is close by, from shops and cafes to medical services.
After creating ten thriving lifestyle resorts across Queensland, we’re stepping into an exciting new chapter. With three new developments in the works — and more to come — the Living Gems story is only getting better.
Absolutely — and only homeowners live here. That means no renters, no investors — just real neighbours building a real community.
Living Gems uses a land lease model. You own your home, while leasing the land it’s on. That means:
- no stamp duty
- no exit or deferred management fees
- 100 percent of any capital gains are yours if you sell
The only ongoing costs are:
- your usual household bills (solar power helps keep electricity costs down), and
- a weekly site fee that covers everything from garden maintenance to resort facilities
Your right to live here is protected by Queensland law — so you’ve got total peace of mind.
Always. Furry, feathered or scaled — pets are part of the family, and they’re more than welcome here.
Of course! Friends, kids, grandkids — we’re all about welcoming the people you love.
Yes — but they’re affordable and straightforward. Site fees are billed monthly and go toward the upkeep of the resort, including all those amazing facilities.
And good news — if you hold a Department of Veterans’ Affairs or Australian Pension Card, you could be eligible for a Federal Government rebate.
Many of our resorts offer on-site storage for boats, caravans and motorhomes — subject to availability. So yes, bring the toys.
We’re not a retirement village — and we’re proud of it.
Living Gems is all about lifestyle. It’s for over-50s who might have stopped working but aren’t ready to slow down. Here, independence matters, travel is easy (thanks to lock-up-and-leave convenience), and life is full of community, connection, and choice.
Nope. All our homes are owner-occupied — no rentals, no investors. That’s part of what makes our communities feel so grounded and connected.
No council rates here. Everything is covered in your weekly site fee — simple.
None. Zip. Nada. When you sell, it’s your home and your money — including 100 percent of any capital gains.
Not a cent. Because you’re buying the home (not the land), there’s no stamp duty payable.
