Hampshire Villages operates over-50s land lease communities across Australia, offering lifestyle-focused homes in coastal, regional and outer-metro locations. We explain Hampshire Villages locations, land lease living, costs, amenities and key considerations, helping you compare Hampshire communities on villages.com.au and decide whether land lease living suits your retirement plans.
Hampshire Villages is an Australian-owned family company that creates welcoming land lease communities for over-50s.
The operator says it has been guiding Australians through retirement living decisions for more than 20 years.
Hampshire Villages positions its communities around care, respect, connection, independence and a clear financial model designed to give residents confidence.
Hampshire should be described as an over-50s land lease and lifestyle community operator, not as a residential aged care provider.
Hampshire Villages communities listed on villages.com.au are spread across several Australian states, with a strong presence in New South Wales and additional communities in Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia.
The portfolio includes coastal, regional and outer-metro communities that may appeal to downsizers seeking community living without a traditional retirement village contract.
State | Example Locations | Living Options |
NSW | Lake Munmorah, Tuncurry, Windang, Coffs Harbour, Williamtown, Fern Bay, South Nowra, Pambula, Mudgee, Port Macquarie, Casino, Forster, Kincumber | Over-50s land lease homes, manufactured community park homes and villas |
QLD | Land lease and lifestyle communities | |
VIC | Over-50s land lease and lifestyle communities | |
WA | Land lease communities | |
SA | Over-50s land lease community |
Availability, home prices, dwelling numbers and amenities vary by community, so please check individual villages.com.au listings before enquiring.
Hampshire Villages mainly offers land lease communities for people aged over 50.
In a land lease community, residents generally own the home and lease the land or site it sits on, rather than buying the underlying land.
Living Option | Best For | Notes |
Land lease homes | Over-50s buyers wanting home ownership with leased land | Core Hampshire Villages model |
Lifestyle community homes | Downsizers wanting a low-maintenance home with shared facilities | Common across villages.com.au listings |
Manufactured community park homes | People comparing affordable over-50s community options | Terminology varies by state and listing |
Retirement-style villas or homes | Residents wanting independent living in a managed community | Some listings use retirement or villa labels alongside land lease |
Hampshire Villages communities are lifestyle and land lease communities; aged care or clinical care should not be assumed from the operator page.
The cost of living in a Hampshire Villages community depends on the home, location, site agreement, fees and current availability.
Villages.com.au listings show a wide range of asking prices across Hampshire communities, including homes marked as available, under contract, negotiable or contact agent.
Cost Type | What It Means | What to Check |
Home purchase price | The upfront cost to buy the home | Current listing price, home size and inclusions |
Site or weekly fees | Regular payments for leasing the land/site and community services | Amount, inclusions and future increases |
Utilities and personal costs | Power, water, internet, insurance or other household costs | Which costs are separate from site fees |
Exit and resale terms | Rules when selling or leaving the community | Resale process, capital gains and contract terms |
Because land lease contracts differ from traditional retirement village contracts, buyers should confirm site fees, resale conditions and any exit or administration costs before signing.
Independent legal and financial advice is recommended before committing to a land lease home or site agreement.
Hampshire Villages communities are designed for over-50s who want independence, community connection and a lower-maintenance lifestyle.
Villages.com.au listings mention features such as on-site managers, resident committees, resident front gate or lobby monitors, CCTV security, village buses, vegetable gardens, community TV, storage for boats or caravans, cafes, bars, hairdressers, beauty salons and walking access to shops or transport.
