The final independent living villas at The Grove in Ngunnawal, Gungahlin, are nearing completion, marking a significant milestone for one of Canberra’s most sought-after retirement communities. Developed and managed by Keyton, The Grove offers a vibrant lifestyle for over-55s, combining thoughtfully designed homes with a deep sense of connection and wellbeing.

This final stage of development includes 29 independent living villas, with only a limited number remaining for purchase. Among them is Keyton’s Passive House villa — a first for retirement living in Australia. Designed to meet rigorous energy efficiency standards, this innovative home offers year-round comfort, reduced energy costs and a healthier indoor environment. It’s a rare opportunity to experience cutting-edge sustainability in a village setting.

The first residents from Stage One have already moved in and are enjoying the lifestyle, connection and convenience that The Grove offers. From morning walks and social catchups to quiet moments in the gardens, life in the village is already thriving. Stage Two construction is progressing smoothly, with all homes on track for residents to move in early 2026.

The Grove offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquillity. Just minutes from Ngunnawal shops and Casey Market Town, residents enjoy easy access to supermarkets, cafés and retail stores — all within a short walk or drive. The village also features walking paths, a nearby golf course, and when complete, co-located aged care facilities for added peace of mind.

One of the standout features of this development is the transformation of the historic Gold Creek Homestead. This building is being reimagined as a multi-purpose event and activity space, designed to bring residents together through arts and crafts classes, activities such as Pilates, and community-hosted events. Landscaping around the Homestead has now begun, with tiered grass areas and preserved historical elements, such as stone bench seating, creating a peaceful retreat and a central hub for village life.

The completion of the Homestead marks a new era of social connection and shared experiences at The Grove. From concerts on the lawn to quiet moments in the gardens, it’s a space that reflects Keyton’s commitment to creating places where people feel at home and improve residents’ wellbeing.

With amenities like a heated pool, lawn bowls green, gym, library and village bus already in place, The Grove is more than just a place to live, it’s a place to thrive. As Keyton CEO Nathan Cockerill shares, “The Grove is a great example of what makes Keyton communities so special, a lifestyle built around safety, wellbeing and genuine connection. It’s about creating places where people feel confident, supported and truly at home.”
