A Retirement lifestyle where there is time to relax, travel,
rediscover your favourite hobbies and take up some new ones
Everyone has their own idea of an ideal life, and retirement will look different for each of us. We’ve thoughtfully designed Longridge Country Estate to respect individuality and have ensured that there will be something for everyone. With engaging activities, serene country surroundings, fantastic local amenities, and easy access to some of the country’s main attractions, it’s all on offer for you to pick and choose from, to create a lifestyle that works best for you.
Retirement has changed. We understand that, and we’ve designed Longridge to cater to the growing demand for a comfortable, secure, and active lifestyle. Be as involved or as laid back as you like—you’ll have the freedom and privacy to live the way you choose, with as little or as much support as you need.

Location:
Just 90 minutes from Auckland and only an hour from Hamilton, with Tauranga a little further, Longridge Country Estate enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the "Golden Triangle." Nestled in the historic town of Paeroa, it serves as a gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty.
A place where friends and neighbours will become one and the same
Longridge will offer you an amazing retirement lifestyle. The community hub and recreation building will include a swimming pool, spa pool, movie room, cafe/bar dining area, dance and exercise floor, library, beauty room, pool tables and a specialist room for doctors, podiatrists and other practitioners to work from. A communal outdoor events area, community garden and “Men’s Shed” workshop will also be perfect spaces for residents to come together. While this is being developed, an interim clubhouse facility will provide residents with a great communal space to meet and socialise in, consisting of a large kitchen, dining area, lounge, library and pool table.
Adventure calls
Many retirees love having the time to travel and when adventure calls you can simply lock-up-and-leave, relaxed in the knowledge that everything at home is secure while you’re away. Parking for camper vans is included in the development plans. You can also make use of the self-drive village van for group outings, or borrow a pool car to nip into town. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and waiting to be enjoyed, while historic Paeroa provides all of life’s necessities, some very tempting luxuries and an amazing retirement lifestyle - right on your doorstep.
Enjoy a peaceful, low maintenance way of life in beautiful surroundings
We’ll take care of the external maintenance of buildings, gardens and grounds, leaving you free to simply admire and walk among them. If you enjoy tending a garden, you’ll have plenty of space to grow the flowers, plants and vegetables of your choosing. We appreciate that pets are family members too and, subject to a few conditions, your furry or feathered friends can enjoy the Longridge lifestyle alongside you.
