Retiring on 2.5 acres: is it right for you?
Acreage in retirement can be wonderful with the right plan. Here's how to think about it.
Retiring to acreage can mean space, peace and a big garden. It also takes planning.
Keep maintenance manageable
Keep the garden close to the house and leave the rest natural. Native plants and waterwise design reduce the work.
Design for the long term
Single-level living, wide doorways, step-free access and easy-care finishes make a home work for decades.
Stay connected
Dongara has a hospital, shops and a golf course, and Geraldton is 45 minutes away for regional services. High-speed NBN keeps video calls with family easy.

There’s no time limit to build at Hidden Valley, so you can buy now and build closer to retirement.
