Reviewed by Villages.com.au team

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.

About Hampshire Villages

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 Locations

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.

Availability, home prices, dwelling numbers and amenities vary by community, so please check individual villages.com.au listings before enquiring.

Living Options at Hampshire Villages

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.

Hampshire Villages communities are lifestyle and land lease communities; aged care or clinical care should not be assumed from the operator page.

What Does It Cost to Live in a Hampshire Community?

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.

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.

Lifestyle & Amenities

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.

• Land lease homes in managed lifestyle communities
