“The planning process for Bethanie Esprit has focused on how we can offer our residents a wider range of accommodation options than previously offered at any other lifestyle village in Western Australia.” Bethanie CEO Chris How said.
“The new clubhouse, located in the heart of the community, with accompanying bowling green, putting course, men’s shed, barbecue area and heated swimming pool, provides the perfect place for residents to get settled into the vibrant Bethanie community lifestyle.”
The lifestyle village is ideal for people who are looking to downsize, while the central South-West location provides access to some outstanding recreational opportunities.
“Choose a direction and you’ll find worlds of discovery,” Mr How said.
“South to the coastal hinterlands and vineyards, east to the picturesque Ferguson Valley and the hills of the Wellington District bushlands, north to Mandurah and Perth, west to clean beaches and the estuary with all the delights of swimming, diving, crabbing and fishing – all before returning to the Esprit village to catch up with friends over a glass of wine.”
There are 13 villas for sale, with prices starting from $399,000 and each feature two double bedrooms, a study, bathroom, powder room and double-lock-up garage.
The Bethanie Esprit lifestyle village, at 97 Illawarra Drive, Eaton, is open Fridays from 2-4pm.
