Imagine the feeling of being on holiday all year round with everything you need on your doorstep. At Living Gems Rockhampton, you can have it all.

Whether it’s me-time or living it up surrounded by friends, Living Gems Rockhampton is all about living the life you choose.
Home ownership – the Living Gems way.
Why choose a Living Gems Community?
If you’re after a lifestyle that’s full of freedom, fun, and fewer chores — welcome to Living Gems.
Less time spent mowing lawns and fixing gutters means more time to do the things you love — whether that’s keeping active, heading off on holidays, or simply enjoying a good yarn with great company.
- Financial peace of mind.
- Living Gems makes financial sense — plain and simple.
- You own your home, which means:
- no stamp duty
- no deferred management fees, and
- 100 percent of any capital gains go straight to you
Quality affordable homes.
Our architect-designed homes are right-sized for over-50s living – stylish, low-maintenance and packed with features that make life easier and more enjoyable.
Thanks to our land lease model, they’re also more affordable than you might think – you own your home and lease the land it sits on.
It’s a smart way to unlock equity, free up cash for the things that matter, and create a future that works for you (and maybe your family too).
Resort-Style Perks Without the Extra Costs.
Our weekly site fees cover access and maintenance of the resort facilities, gardens and all the good stuff – like your own gym, pool, cinema and terrific social events – saving you the cost of memberships, entertainment, and more.
What's On.
