The Benefits of Land Lease Communities

What is a Land Lease Community?

It’s beautifully simple: you own your home, and lease the land it sits on. Your right to stay on the land is protected by state legislation, giving you both peace of mind and flexibility.

This model is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its financial advantages, especially for those looking to “rightsize” while still living life to the fullest. And when you choose The Residences by Chirpy, you’re also joining a vibrant, supportive community designed around connection, wellbeing and fun.

You own the Home, not the Land — and that’s a Win!

At The Residences by Chirpy, you’ll own a beautiful, architecturally designed home packed with luxurious inclusions — all at a fraction of the price of traditional home-and-land purchases.

And because you're not buying the land:

  • No stamp duty — which can save you thousands

  • No entry or exit fees

  • No hidden charges that come with some retirement village contracts

Plus, your home is yours . That means all capital gains stay with you, not with an operator.

Modest Weekly Site Fees — Made Even More Affordable.

Your weekly site fee covers council rates, community maintenance, and resort facilities — all maintained for you. These fees are simple, transparent, and reviewed annually in line with inflation.

Pensioners and DVA card holders? You may also be eligible for government rental assistance, making this lifestyle even more accessible.

Enjoy Financial Freedom Without the Stress

Here’s why so many people are turning to land lease communities like The Residences by Chirpy:

  • No deferred management or exit fees

  • Keep 100% of your capital gains

  • No surprise costs

  • Simple, clear contracts

  • Downsizing incentives from the Federal Government

You may even be able to contribute up to $600,000 from your home sale into your super — even if you’re over 70.
