Summerset Falls retirement village has virtually completed an ambitious building programme, with the final touches now being put to its last high-end Louisville-style apartment.
The programme involved the construction of a further 79 homes over the last year. Twenty of them are Louisville, which are built in blocks of four – two units upstairs and two downstairs.
Summerset sales manager Steven Garner says the Louisville apartments are built to a higher specification than others at Summerset and feature huge living spaces, large bedrooms, under-floor heating, heat pumps and ceramic bench tops.
The upstairs units are 134 square metres, including the garage area, and the downstairs units are 120 square metres, including the garage.
The upstairs units cost just under $900,000 and the downstairs units are about $800,000.
Steven says the village has likely reached its full capacity, with 204 independent living units, 44 serviced apartments and 41 beds in the village care centre.
So far, about half a dozen of the Louisville apartments have been sold.
Last month, Summerset unveiled a memorial plaque in honour of Mansel and Ona Price, who owned the land where the village now sits. Mansel was keen to see a retirement village developed on the land and Mansel Drive is named in his honour.
