Life at Zest
Victoria's Premier Over 55 Land Lease Community.
The benefits of owning your own home, within a managed community of warm and welcoming people. It's time to enjoy the freedom to live life, your way.
Closer than you think
A Few Hours From Melbourne. A world away from the pace.
The Centre of Victoria's Sun Country on the Murray offers countless ways to celebrate the enviable climate. Dine aboard historic paddle steamers, go boating, fishing, play a round of golf or walk one of the scenic walking trails around Lake Mulwala. Visit the wineries, farm gates and providores that make the most of year-round sunshine.
Getting here
The perfect home base
Located in northern Victoria on the border of New South Wales, Zest Living lies on the south bank of the Murray River. Leaving the outskirts of Melbourne, arrive in 2 hours 45 minutes by car — or take your time and stop in the regional centres of Benalla or Shepparton. Yarrawonga is well serviced by VLine and CountryLink trains and buses, and Albury Airport is a short 45-minute drive.

Resident voices
"Moving here was the best decision we made. The resort-style over 55s community is everything we hoped for — genuine people, a beautiful location, and a team that made it feel completely personal from the first call."
"We'd talked about moving to the country for fifteen years. Drove up to Yarrawonga on a long weekend, walked through Zest, and that was that. We listed our Camberwell house the following Monday."

Why people choose Zest
Your Home,
Your Lifestyle.
Zest Communities are how more Australians are choosing to downsize and release equity from their pre-retirement home. At Zest, you own your home and lease the land your home sits on for a low ongoing site fee. No Stamp Duty, No Exit Fees and any capital gain on your home is yours to keep. The entry cost is a fraction of a traditional property purchase, which means our residents have more money left over to enjoy the retirement you have been working towards. With a New Home and Clubhouse with 5 star Resort Style Facilities, you have the financial freedom to choose how to make your best years even better.
