Stockland’s Halcyon Berwick is setting a new standard of luxury living designed for over 55s in the Victorian market, achieving multiple sales over $1 million.

Since launching in May 2021, Halcyon Berwick has had strong market acceptance, with projected sales currently 18 months ahead of schedule.

Halcyon Berwick Project Director, Nicole Guirguis said it was rewarding to experience such high demand in a changing real estate market.

“Halcyon Berwick was our first land lease community in Victoria and as awareness of our offering has grown, so too has market demand, with more people seeking the benefits that a community designed for over 55s offers.”

“A key differentiator in Victoria is the resale benefits our communities offer. Unlike competitors, we offer no exit fees (deferred management fees), and our homeowners keep 100% of the capital gains,” Nicole said.

“Halcyon Berwick has been thoughtfully masterplanned and designed for the buyers we knew would be looking for something that is a little bit special.”

While median house prices in Berwick have decreased 3.8 per cent over the past 12 months, the average home price at Halcyon Berwick has remained strong at $818,000.

“A large majority of our buyers are locals, from Berwick, Cranbourne and Narre Warren, so it was important for us to create a community with a boutique, village-style atmosphere.”

“Buyer’s want the benefits of a Melbourne lifestyle, but are excited to move into a luxury community where they have access to resort-quality facilities, right on their doorstep,” Nicole said.

“It’s a testament to our offering that we’ve sold well ahead of schedule.”

“We now have less than 10 homes remaining, so it will be buyers last opportunity to secure their dream home in this highly sought-after community,” she said.

Halcyon Berwick is part of the Stockland master-planned community of Minta, located 48 kilometres southeast of Melbourne CBD, set within a beautiful natural reserve.

The 170-home community also features a $7.6 million Clubhouse with luxurious bar, lounge and entertaining areas; an indoor cinema; a wellness centre with an indoor heated magnesium salt swimming pool, spa and gym; a gold-class style cinema; croquet and pickleball courts; and alfresco entertaining area with a pizza oven and barbeque facilities.
