Lincoln Lifestyle Northern Rivers is embracing a new era of over-50s living. They offer a fresh outlook on what downsized life can be. Formerly known as Northern Rivers Lifestyle Estate, the community in Gulmarrad, between Yamba and Maclean, offers modern two- and three-bedroom homes. This is within a safe and friendly environment.
The change comes as part of Lincoln Place’s transformation under the new ethos Live Life Well. Reflecting a renewed focus on wellbeing, connection and everyday joy, Lincoln Lifestyle over 50s communities are designed as places where neighbours quickly become friends. Here, mornings begin with a chat over coffee. Feel-good facilities make it easy to stay active and social every day.
Tranquillity and Vibrant Community Living
Residents at the Northern Rivers community enjoy a blend of tranquil surrounds and vibrancy, from peaceful walks through landscaped grounds to friendly matches on the bowls green. It’s a place where every day brings new opportunities to connect, whether that’s at a barbecue, a craft session, or an afternoon chat in the sunshine.
Construction is now underway on a new clubhouse precinct. This will soon become the community’s social heart. When complete, it will include a resident lounge, theatre, games room, gym, swimming pool and creative spaces. These are designed to nurture health, happiness and a strong sense of belonging.
Homes Designed for Everyday Ease
With a selection of beautifully designed two- and three-bedroom homes available and ready to move into by early next year, there’s never been a better time to make the move.
One of the Estate’s most popular designs, The Bancroft, perfectly balances convenience with contemporary style. Its open-plan kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to a spacious alfresco. This creates the ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding. With two generous bedrooms and step-free access, each home is built on-site as part of Lincoln Lifestyle’s commitment to helping residents age in place comfortably and confidently.
To make settling in even easier, Lincoln Lifestyle is currently offering a $5,000 Smooth Move rebate for new buyers who deposit on a new home before 30 November 2025. The offer provides a helping hand with moving costs; another way Lincoln Place is making the downsizing journey more accessible and stress-free.
An Innovative Approach to Downsizing
Lincoln Lifestyle Northern Rivers operates under the innovative land lease model—a smarter, more accessible way for Australians over 50 to downsize.
Under this model, residents own their homes outright while leasing the land beneath them. This arrangement removes the burden of stamp duty and entry or exit fees. Additionally, it allows homeowners to retain 100% of any capital gains when they sell.
Each Lincoln Lifestyle Estate also offers access to resort-style facilities and the support of on-site community management. This ensures residents can enjoy an active, social and worry-free way of life.
The structure not only makes purchasing a new home more financially achievable, but it also fosters a strong sense of community. Residents are equally invested in their surroundings and lifestyle.
Discover Lincoln Lifestyle for Yourself at the Spring Open Day
Locals will have the chance to experience the community firsthand at the upcoming Spring Open Day on Saturday, 8 November 2025. Visitors can take guided tours of display homes and explore the growing facilities. They can also meet residents who already call the community home. Complimentary coffee and a barbecue will be available while guests soak up the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that defines this welcoming over-50s neighbourhood.
