Stockland has gained an impressive number of awards for creating high-quality, sustainable and liveable communities around Australia. This development marks the first Halcyon branded venture in NSW, promising a lifestyle that goes beyond conventional retirement living to offer refinement, connection, and a rich program of activity for active over 60s.
Drawing inspiration from the area’s rural past, Halcyon Gables is being praised for its thoughtful planning and spacious properties that have been carefully designed to provide excellent access to essential amenities without sacrificing peace and quiet.
Easy access to shopping, dining and transport
When completed, The Gables community will feature its own Town Centre with a range of retail, healthcare and leisure outlets. Located just 800m away, homeowners in Halcyon Gables will be able to walk to the shops and still feel miles away from the hustle and bustle.
The Town Centre will feature a major supermarket, medical centre, childcare centre, proposed tavern, as well as all of the everyday necessities.
Located just a short drive away, Rouse Hill Town Centre offers locals the chance to grab a coffee, enjoy a movie, or shop in a lively retail and restaurant district. There are over 200 stores in all – including a mix of eateries, major supermarket chains, big box brands and smaller boutiques.
For downsizers who are still working or want to keep in touch with families and friends around Sydney, the transport links are a real bonus. Sydney’s CBD, the Norwest Business Centre and other suburbs are accessible on the Metro line, allowing homeowners to easily blend suburban calm and city connectivity into their lifestyles.
A planned Rouse Hill Hospital is also on the horizon in the coming five years, as well as further infrastructure, transport, and public amenities developments.
Retirement living that’s beyond the ordinary
The homes at Halcyon Gables embody elegance, functionality and design elements meticulously planned to cater to homeowners’ evolving needs so they can “right size” for the future.
The architect-designed, free-standing 2 and 3-bedroom properties are defined by their sizeable, proportions and thoughtful, accessible design that prioritises comfort and mobility with features like level entries, larger bathrooms, and wider corridors. They are perfect for entertaining with large alfresco areas and designer kitchens.
Living in harmony with the environment is central to the Halcyon Gables philosophy. The homes are powered exclusively by electricity and accredited with a minimum 7-star NATHERS rating for energy efficiency. The community itself is a secure enclave, safeguarded by CCTV, number plate recognition technology, and gated access, offering peace of mind alongside luxury.
Low-maintenance living is supported by management, caretakers and the neighbourhood network, allowing you to take a road trip around Australia or travel abroad knowing your home will have a friend or neighbour keeping an eye on things while you’re gone.
From beautiful homes to budding friendships
Of course, Halcyon Gables is not just about beautiful homes and environment, it’s about creating a vibrant, engaging community.
Everything is designed to cultivate deep, meaningful connections among homeowners with communal spaces that bring people together and support a bustling calendar of activities.
The homes incorporate driveways, front gardens, lawns, and patios to make the streets more lively and encourage a sense of belonging, and the communal spaces contribute to extending neighbourly connections in healthy and creative ways.
The Lodge and Wellness Centre, designed by award-winning BDA Architects, will offer a diverse range of activities and spaces for relaxation and socialising. From a Gold Class Style Cinema and games room to a fully equipped gym and yoga studio, every aspect of the community is designed to promote well-being and connections among homeowners.
For those keen to take up or hone a creative hobby, the Messy Art Studio and Hobby Shed are the ideal spots. The community also features a 25m heated mineral pool, a spa, community gardens, and sports facilities such as full-size bowling green and pickleball courts, all designed to enhance leisure and cater to the active lifestyles of future residents.
Nigel and Louise’s story
Sydneysiders Nigel and Louise are eagerly awaiting their move to Halcyon Gables as part of its first release of homes.
“The idea of downsizing, which we had previously set aside, came after visiting friends in Halycon’s Bli Bli community near Noosa,” Nigel says.
While staying in the Sydney area to be close to family and grandchildren was a priority for the couple, the type of home they were looking for wasn’t easy to find.
“When it came to thinking about our retirement living options, we had a good look around Sydney but found that the main choice was apartments, which didn’t really appeal to us,” Nigel adds.
“Then earlier this year, we found out about the new development at Halcyon Gables, and we went along to hear more at an information session at Castle Hill Country Club. We were drawn to the idea of resort-style retirement with detached housing in a community. It was a much more attractive option and we knew it was something that Halcyon specialised in.”
A visit to another Stockland Halcyon development, at Buderim, sealed the deal for Nigel and Louise, who opted for a three-bedroom home on one of Halcyon Gable’s leafy corner blocks.
"My wife and I are really happy to have found Halcyon Gables. The individual bungalows, the community centre, and all the amenities are just what we need at this stage of our lives."
"We’re both pretty fit, so we're very likely to take advantage of the facilities that are available. Whether it's sports like tennis and pickleball, or handicrafts – which Louise is particularly interested in – there are a lot of opportunities that we think will open new doors for us.
“Plus, meeting new friends in the community will be great. We're looking forward to getting to know some of our new neighbours over the next few months before moving in next year."
The proximity to the nearby Rouse Hill shopping centre, restaurants and theatres was also a big drawcard for the couple.
