Just over an hour from Hamilton, Longridge Country Estate Retirement Village offers something different. With 90 acres of open countryside, spacious villas, and a strong sense of community, it's a retirement village where you can live with more breathing room and fewer compromises.
Whether you're leaving the city behind or planning for the future, Longridge offers a lifestyle that’s peaceful, practical, and well connected to the places and people that matter.
Our two and three-bedroom villas are designed for people aged 65 and over who want a home that’s easy to live in, without giving up quality or space. They’re architecturally designed, energy-efficient, and include full kitchens, quality finishes, and simple, practical layouts - without the upkeep that usually comes with a traditional home.
You’ll find a community that’s friendly and active, but never pushy. Social events and group activities are available, but you can join in as much or as little as you like. It’s about having the option, not the obligation.
With low weekly fees and a bulk power network that helps keep costs down, Longridge makes everyday living more affordable. And because we take care of external maintenance, you can spend more time enjoying your home - not looking after it.
Paeroa is a quiet town with charm and character, but you’re never far from the city. A one-hour drive brings you back to Hamilton, with its hospitals, services, and familiar places. It’s rural living without feeling remote.
Longridge Country Estate offers North Island residents over 65, a vibrant retirement lifestyle, where friendships and neighbours merge into one. Our retirement village and recreation centre plans will offer a variety of activities and dedicated spaces for healthcare professionals.
If you’re planning to travel in retirement, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your home is safe while you're away. Villas are secure and easy to lock up, with staff on site and neighbours nearby. We also have a village van available for group outings - like a visit to Hamilton Gardens or a café stop in town.
Our team handles all external maintenance, including lawns, hedges, and communal spaces. Villas are designed to be easy to care for, but if you enjoy gardening, there’s room to grow a few favourites outside your home.
Longridge is also pet-friendly—so yes, your cat, dog, or feathered friend can come too.
Our retirement village is also pet-friendly, so your furry or feathered companions can be part of the Longridge community too.
