For a limited time you can save $38,000 on one of homes at Villa Estate in Bungendore.

When thinking of downsizing many buyers often think of an apartment; something with high strata fees or deferred management fees, that often offers little or no outdoor living.

That's not the case at Villa Estate, a boutique development of two and three bedroom standalone villas in the thriving town of Bungendore, just a short 25 minute drive to Dickson or 20 minutes to Queanbeyan.

This estate is an exclusive gated complex to residents 55 years and over, or those living with a disability, where you'll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are living in a community of like-minded people who aspire to the same quality of life as you.

Villa Estate is the first project of its kind in Bungendore, a place where you own your own the freehold land title, and a small $30 per week contribution manages the common area facilities including the resident-owned clubhouse with fully-functional kitchen and visitors' car parking.

"On your own easy-care courtyard block of land, these brand new homes are light and bright," say agents Simon and Melissa from Luton.

"With high ceilings and north-facing internal and external living spaces they have been built in accordance with the NSW Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability Code to an extremely high quality.

"All bedrooms are of generous size with plenty of cupboard spaces, whilst the bathrooms have been fitted out and ready for ageing-in-place, so you can enjoy your home for many years to come. The well-thought-out floorplan comes with wider doorways for wheelchair access if required."

All villas are either two or three bedrooms with bathroom and ensuite. You also get the choice of a single or double remote-controlled lock-up garage, "but you will need to hurry as we only have three villas with double garages remaining in Stage 1."

In a quiet and leafy location yet close to shops, doctors, dentists, cafes and specialty stores, you can leave the car at home and enjoy a short walk in the clean fresh air. These villas can also be purchased as an investment property now, ready to move into at a later date when the time is right.

"A $1,000 fully-refundable holding deposit is all you need to start the process and begin planning your future lifestyle." The spring promotion that can save you a whopping $38,000 is only on offer for a short time.

"Prices start from $445,000 for a two bedroom two bathroom villa with oversized single garage, and from $530,000 for a two or three bedroom, two bathroom villa with an oversized double garage. [And] With no entry or exit fees residents will have peace of mind knowing they will retain the full capital gain when they or their family decide to sell the property down the track."

A move to Villa Estate offers the lifestyle of independence and the security to lock-up and travel when the weather turns cold.

"The team at Luton are proud to be the selling agents for this high-quality complex. It's an exciting time as the hard work is done."
