Tallowood Medowie: Project update

Retirement is a chapter of life that provides an opportunity to really come alive. So, imagine enjoying over 55s living in a location that reflects this sense of openness and possibilities. Tallowood Medowie, was created with this in mind. Thoughtfully designed, Tallowood offers resort living set in a beautiful landscape, conveniently located near shops, cafes and services.

Retire in style

Tallowood Medowie was developed for contemporary retirement lifestyle. Planning and pre-construction began in 2017 then momentum increased with construction in 2020 and 80 homes were soon available. Those savvy retirees that got in early have helped establish the Tallowood over 55s community and are a great advertisement for how to enjoy resort living.  Residents talk about how much they benefit from the social connectedness that comes with community living. A wealth of social opportunities make it easy to meet new friends and form meaningful relationships, contributing to a sense of belonging and wellbeing.

Home sweet home

So often when people think of retirement villages, clusters of tightly-set pokey units are often what come to mind. In contrast, Tallowood offers dynamic living options to suit a variety of lifestyles and budgets. All homes are architecturally designed to maximise space and light and they’re finished to the highest quality. These are houses you can be proud to call home. 

There are a range of functional and flowing floor plans to choose from which feature an open-plan kitchen and generous living spaces. Each property has timber floors, an alfresco entertainment area as well as a choice of garage size to suit your lifestyle. Should the desire to travel take you on the road or to the skies you can confidently lock up your home knowing it will be safe and secure.

Most importantly, these houses are the blank canvas upon which you can add your own personal style and taste.

Could Tallowood be your new home?

Imagine sitting with friends around the firepit taking in the smell of the bush while gazing up at the night sky. Or picture yourself enjoying a meal in the country club and reading by the open fire in winter.

For those keen to get active and stay fit there’s a wellness centre, both indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and a spa. Everything is tailored for the over 55s community’s needs and interests – even the gym is equipped with pneumatic technology for safer resistance training. Tallowood is the perfect marriage of retirement lifestyle and resort living with a diverse mix of community facilities and activities so there’s something to tempt everyone.

At home in nature

The natural environment is a key factor in the success of the Tallowood design. The architecture fits effortlessly into the landscape creating flow and serenity. Tallowood over 55’s living encourages an active and healthy lifestyle that allows you to connect with the environment whether that’s while fishing by the lake or walking in the surrounding parkland. In addition to this, the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of Port Stephens and Newcastle are only a short distance away.

74 meticulously designed homes are currently under construction and 71 homes remain in the project so now is the right time to consider a move to Tallowood Medowie if you don’t want to miss out.
