Less work, more living: Will and Tina’s next chapter at Moreton Bay
After a lifetime of working hard, Will and Tina Fedder are looking forward to something a little different. More day trips, holidays to plan and the chance to enjoy life at their own pace.
For Will and Tina, moving to Living Gems Moreton Bay has been the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
Like many Australians in their 50s and beyond, they’ve spent years juggling work and everyday responsibilities. Now, they’re ready to make the most of the time ahead.
“We’ve been really hard workers all of our life,” says Tina.
It’s a sentiment many people will recognise. Between work, household responsibilities and everything else life throws your way, the things you really want to do can often end up waiting.
As Will and Tina explain, “Then that stops you from doing all of the things in life that you should be doing every day, like enjoying life.”
“So now we’re wanting to start doing our day trips and, you know, thinking about holidays and everything. And that’s what we’re looking forward to.”
More time for the things that matter
One of the attractions of Living Gems is the opportunity to simplify everyday life without giving up the comforts of a beautiful home.
The land lease model offers a different approach to homeownership. Residents own their villa while leasing the land it sits on, with a weekly site fee contributing to the maintenance of shared facilities, gardens and community spaces.
Combined with thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance villas, it means less time spent on household upkeep and more time for the things you actually want to do.
For some homeowners, downsizing can also release capital from the sale of their previous property, providing greater financial flexibility for travel, hobbies and new experiences.
It’s about having choices. Whether that’s taking a holiday, spending time with family or simply enjoying a morning without a long list of chores.
And with Living Gems Moreton Bay located in Burpengary East, there’s plenty to explore beyond the resort gates.
“Moreton Bay has a lot to offer. It’s right in between Gold Coast, Sunny Coast and all the hinterlands. There’s so many things to do and sort of central here I think for a lot of that.”
And plenty to enjoy right on your doorstep
Of course, having more time is even better when there’s plenty to fill it with.
At Living Gems Moreton Bay, the planned resort facilities will bring a whole new level of convenience to everyday life. Imagine starting the morning with a swim in the heated pool, meeting friends for coffee at the $15 million Country Club or enjoying a friendly game of bowls without having to venture far from home.
There’s a gym, cinema, ten-pin bowling, creative studio and plenty more to look forward to. Whether you love keeping active, trying something new or simply enjoying good company, there’ll be no shortage of ways to spend your day.
And when the mood strikes for a change of scenery? The Sunshine Coast, Bribie Island and the Glass House Mountains are all within easy reach.
The beauty is having the choice. A busy day out, a relaxed afternoon at home or something in between. It’s entirely up to you.
Sometimes the best part of the day is an unexpected chat
While the freedom to explore is something Will and Tina are looking forward to, it’s the sense of community they’ve already discovered that makes everyday life at Moreton Bay particularly enjoyable.
“I find that when you’re just in normal suburbia, people don’t talk to each other. And when you actually come to a community, you have got people knocking on your door just to say hello.”
It’s the sort of friendly, easy-going neighbourhood where a quick trip to collect the mail can turn into a much longer outing.
“Sometimes I go up there and takes me a long time to get back. Someone’s garage is open. You have a chat…and have a chat,” Will says.
There’s something lovely about that kind of community. The familiar faces, the spontaneous conversations and the comfort of knowing there are people nearby who are happy to stop and say hello.
It’s a lifestyle that offers the opportunity to be as social or as independent as you like.
A community that felt right from the beginning
For Will and Tina, the decision to move to Living Gems Moreton Bay felt right from their very first visit.
“From the time we walked into the gates, we just felt this place was right. And there was nothing here.”
The couple particularly appreciate the resort’s boutique atmosphere and the security of living within a gated community.
“It’s a smaller community. It’s not as big as some, but we feel that that just makes us feel more comfortable.”
Their experience with the Living Gems sales team also helped make the transition easier.
“From the word go, Jodie had made it simple.”
From keeping them informed to helping coordinate their move, the support they received made a lasting impression.
And now that they’re enjoying life at Moreton Bay, they’re more than happy to recommend it to others.
In fact, Will and Tina have already shared their experience with friends and even someone they met at a local shopping centre who was interested in making a similar move.
What could you do with more time?
For Will and Tina, the appeal of their new lifestyle is refreshingly simple. A comfortable home, neighbours who stop for a chat, the security of a gated community and plenty of opportunities to get out and explore.
For others, it might be the chance to travel more often, rediscover an old hobby or finally spend weekends doing something other than home maintenance.
That’s the beauty of Living Gems. It’s not simply about where you live, but what your home allows you to do.
Could it be time to make more room for the things you love?
