22/75 Highgrove Drive, Highfields QLD 4352

3 bed, 2 bath retirement apartment | North-facing resort living | 52.98 ha complex site | Highfields’ strongest price bracket | Owner-occupied building This property sits within a tightly held retirement complex where 83% of residents own outright, giving it rare supply constraint and a built-in demographic floor. The north-facing open plan layout captures all-day light and the resort amenities create a lifestyle buffer that standard units lack. For a downsizer wanting to stay in Highfields without losing access to pool, gym, or cinema, this is one of the few options that competes directly with freestanding houses. The 52.98 ha site means the unit benefits from substantial common grounds and low density, which typically supports better capital retention than smaller retirement blocks. The main risk is the retirement zoning itself: resale is limited to buyers over 55, narrowing the pool and extending hold periods if the market softens. The 1 parking space may deter some couples. On the opportunity side, the complex has seen 7 recent sales with no renters, proving liquidity within the cohort. The buyer should treat this as a lifestyle hold first, capital appreciation second. If you need to exit inside five years, buy a standard house instead.
