Many retirees are downsizing to Pelican Shores Estate in Leopold due to the wonderful lifestyle that the village offers.
The over 50’s lifestyle community boasts a serene waterfront location in a rural setting. You’ll feel like you are a world away but everything you could need is within easy reach. Just minutes from the centre of Leopold and only 10 minutes from the Geelong CBD, Pelican Shores offers residents the best of both worlds.
Village manager Kimberley Keys said one of the things residents loved most about living at Pelican Shores was the sense of community and the informal care networks that it provides.
“Everyone supports each other and helps each other out wherever they can. Many also enjoy the social aspect and love getting together for various events and activities.” Ms Keys said.
Residents at Pelican Shores enjoy regular weekly gatherings, organised and run by the social club.
Whether it’s men’s lunch or ladies’ coffee on Mondays, fishing, darts and mahjong on Wednesdays or the ever-popular Friday happy hour, there’s numerous opportunities to enjoy time with new and old friends.
The variety of onsite facilities is another advantage that comes from village living.
“There’s so much to do here; there’s a resident’s workshop, lawn bowls, a swimming pool and heated spa, library, and even a movie theatre” Ms Keys said.
Residents appreciate the secure living environment that the village offers giving them peace of mind and allowing them to enjoy the ‘lock up and leave’ lifestyle.
Pelican Shores residents Norma and John couldn’t be happier with their decision to make Pelican Shores their home.
“Buying a home in Pelican Shores not only allowed us to free up extra cash but it is just such a beautiful place to live,” they said.
“Leaving for holidays is a breeze because there is nothing to worry about knowing your home is safe. We have stunning views and can walk our dogs in some of Victoria’s best surrounding countryside. The staff are friendly and helpful, just a great place to call home.”
Pelican Shores offers a range of modern new and pre-loved homes so you can choose a home that suits your lifestyle and budget.
