MARSDEN COVE’S SUMMER SECTION SALE
With winter approaching, there are probably many people out there contemplating a pile of firewood with weary trepidation. The demands of keeping a big, old house in the summer — what with lawns, repairs, gutters and gardens — are tough enough, but when the cold winds descend a large and empty home can feel like a burden . . . especially Cosy cottages create a rustic atmosphere for older people. For many, though, a lifetime of independence and self-reliance has formed a steadfast opinion about ‘moving into a home’. Indeed, many people now reach octogenarian status while still driving, playing sports and even working on the family farms they’ve built up over the years. That’s why there is a middle ground — one which can afford those of advancing years their own place, without the millstone of constant maintenance weighing them down. Not an ‘old folks home’ by any stretch of the imagination, but more akin to an exclusive gated community of independent homes . . . smaller, warmer, more secure but still private and self-contained. Riverdale is such a place — the first of its kind in Dargaville, though the concept is enjoying huge popularity in Auckland. At first glance Riverdale appears to be a modern subdivision of colonial-style houses, but the reality is that this small community is designed for those 55 and over, with security and ease of maintenance paramount. Living here means having your own home, but without the hassles — a modest weekly fee pays for water, broadband internet, groundskeeping, insurance and the like, making this an affordable option for those receiving a pension. There’s also a well appointed community hall shared by all the neighbours — a communal lounge with a kitchen, big-screen TV and a small library, such as you’d find in a resort hotel. Riverdale isn’t about pre-packaged meals, nurses or routines. It’s a cluster of practical town houses built to suit people who have worked hard and enjoyed life for many years, but now acknowledge that they’d much prefer to kick back, relax and not worry about things like cleaning gutters and chopping firewood. Come and take a look, and you may find this picturesque spot by the riverside just too good to pass up.
