Gracefield Living in Nayland Road, Nelson is New Zealand’s first residential community resort - a new concept in living for people aged 55-plus. The resort is designed for people who want to remain independent and in their own homes for longer, while enjoying greater security and a wide range of facilities for recreation and relaxation. The new development will eventually comprise 171 villas, 70 apartments and an 18-bed residential care facility all set in a gracious, secluded nine-hectare landscape of lawns, boxed hedges and flowering cherry trees. Accommodation will range from one bedroom apartments of 65 square metres to four bedroom luxury villas of 200 square metres.

The first stage comprises 21 villas and ‘The Club’, the informal centre of Gracefield Living with its library, lounge, activity areas, bar and dining space, spas, lap pool and sports greens. The apartment complex also has a bar, lounge, café/restaurant, gym and cinema.

Homes are constructed from a solid wood frame with a Rockcote EPS40 Cavity Plus Render System applied over Metrapanel panel finished in Rockcote Premium pre-coloured Classico texture finish in a variety of hues including Resene Triple White Pointer (grey beige) and Resene Half Napa (muted neutral). This system was selected to allow for a better finish for the plastered exterior, provides added insulation and noise reduction, and is complemented by Resene Waterborne Woodsman and Resene Armourcote 510 finishes.

Each architecturally-designed villa offers spacious, elegant accommodation with premium quality fixtures and fittings. Features include fibre optic cable for high-speed internet connection and communication; ensuite bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, and double garages.

The interior is finished in a full Environmental Choice approved system of Resene Broadwall 3 in 1 surfacer, sealer and finish coat in a palette of soothing Resene whites and neutrals, joined by Resene Zylone Sheen waterborne low sheen on broadwall areas and Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel on trim and joinery.

With lifestyle, entertainment and nourishment options all on site, residents will scarcely need to leave their front door to enjoy the best of life.
