Retirement Villas:
Spacious Independent Living at Longridge
What Is a Retirement Villa?
A retirement villa is a full home within a retirement community. It is quite different from an apartment, a unit, or a townhouse. A villa gives you your own front door, your own garage, your own garden, and your own kitchen. There are no shared corridors, no lifts, and no neighbours directly above or below you.
Unlike a rest home or serviced apartment, a retirement villa is for people who want to keep living independently, just in a well designed, low maintenance home surrounded by a like minded community.
At Longridge Country Estate, every villa is single level, architecturally designed, and built to suit the way people actually live in retirement.
Standalone and Duplex Villas at Longridge
At Longridge we offer both standalone villas and duplex villas. Both options give you your own driveway, your own entrance, and your own private outdoor space. Neither type has shared living walls running through the home.
Standalone villas sit completely on their own footprint with full separation from neighbouring homes.
Duplex villas sit side by side with an adjoining villa. Each duplex home is fully self contained with its own driveway, entrance, garage, and outdoor area. The homes sit alongside each other but your living spaces remain entirely your own.
Both options are spacious, single level, low maintenance, and built to the same high quality standard. The right choice depends on the size and layout that suits your lifestyle.
Two Bedroom Villas
Our two bedroom villas start at 111m² and go up to 144m², with a range of layouts to suit different preferences. All two bedroom villas include north facing living areas, Fisher and Paykel kitchen appliances, double glazing, and modern heating and cooling systems.
Three Bedroom Villas
For those who want more space, whether for hosting family or simply having room to spread out, our three bedroom villas range from 161m² to 185m².
Three bedroom villas are ideal if you regularly have grandchildren to stay, want a dedicated guest room, or simply prefer the extra space that a larger home provides.

The Next Generation of Retirement:
Smart, Safe, and Sustainable
Retirement Home of the future
Forward-thinking hardwiring for technology simplifies life by supporting state of the art security, fire and medical alarms, giving peace of mind to you and your family, and makes it easy for you to connect to your phone and internet provider. All home plans are single level and details like wider doorways, level entry points, eye-level wall ovens and accessible showers are included as standard to make sure your home suits your needs now and in the future.
Making Your Retirement Villa your home
The architecturally designed, sturdy brick and weatherboard villas are available as standalone homes or duplexes, all with generous garage space. Designer kitchens include quality Fisher & Paykel appliances and you can choose from a variety of options to personalise your villa and create your very own ideal home. We’ll make it easy for you, with a dedicated team to guide you through the process.
Energy smart and environmentally friendly
Double glazing, smart design, insulation and modern, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems help to ensure your villa stays warm in winter and cool in summer, keeping your power use - and bills - low. We have an ethos of sustainability - including the ban of some sprays, the introduction of worm farms and compost bins, and a village orchard and some vegetable plots. Residents also grow their own vegetables. Future plans include a much larger community garden, and bee hives.
A Retirement Village of Size, Scope and Scale
Longridge Country Estate is planned to include up to 420 homes, along with a wide range of amenities and community facilities. Set across a spacious, scenic 60 acre site, our village offers open surroundings, quality homes, and a relaxed way of living. Residents can look forward to a resort-style community centre, with stage 1 now under construction.
There are plenty of ways to connect, form real friendships, or simply enjoy your own space, at your pace, here at Longridge.
