The development comprised of affordable detached homes / units ranging from 140sqm – 200sqm all with neutral matching colour scheme.
Lighter brick and roof colours chosen with low solar absorbance properties in mind to suit the Tamworth climate.

- Modern comforts ie ducted aircon and keyless entry, led lighting
- Solar lighting throughout the complex
- Aqua saver water diversion valve for water tank for simplicity
- Low maintenance yard and artificial turf
- Ergonomic kitchen design for retirees
- Automatic front security gate entry
- Concrete driveway for durability and longevity
- The homes were located within a secure gated community with minimal yard / garden for low maintenance in mind.
Subdivision carefully planned and designed for community title which gave buyers / purchasers ownership of their allotment / unit. This was popular as an alternative to retirement village schemes as it provides share of ownership of common areas that they may not be able to afford / upkeep if they lived outside the community.
The end result was exactly what was envisage. A secure modern / luxurious front gate entry. The complex / varying terrain of the site gave rise to a variety of house plans and individuality / distinction to each lot. North facing entertaining areas with elevated views, ventilation and privacy in mind.
