Positioned within the well-established Westminster House Supported Living Community in the heart of Merrimac, this unique freehold investment presents an opportunity to secure an income-producing asset within a specialised over-50s supported living environment.
Conveniently located just minutes from local shopping centres, medical facilities, public transport, the M1 Motorway and the new Merrimac Train Station currently under construction, this location continues to benefit from significant infrastructure investment and excellent connectivity across the Gold Coast.
Westminster House is designed to accommodate approved residents over 50 years of age, pensioners and eligible NDIS participants (subject to approval). The onsite manager is licensed to provide support services to residents and also manages the day-to-day operation of the complex.
This freehold title (lot 7) comprises two separate accommodation areas:
Room B01 – Large updated bedroom with private bathroom
Room B19 – Self-contained flat-style unit comprising a lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom
As a specialised accommodation investment, these properties are generally purchased for their income-producing potential rather than capital growth. They offer investors an opportunity to diversify into a niche sector with a well-established operating model.
*Please note that finance for this style of investment can differ from standard residential lending. Buyers requiring finance should discuss their individual circumstances with their broker or lender prior to making an offer.
