Land Lease Living in Queensland
A Simpler Way to Own Your Home
Land lease living offers a different approach to home ownership, designed to help you spend less time managing a property and more time enjoying life.
At Solana, you own your home while leasing the land it sits on through a site agreement. It's a simple, transparent model that combines the security of home ownership with the benefits of a professionally managed community.
For many homeowners, it provides greater freedom, financial certainty and more opportunity to focus on the things that matter most.
Your Questions, Answered.

The concept is simple.
You purchase and own your home just as you would in a traditional neighbourhood. Instead of buying the land beneath it, you pay a site fee that contributes to the maintenance and management of the community and its facilities.
This allows residents to enjoy beautifully maintained surroundings, premium amenities and a professionally managed community without the burden of organising or maintaining everything themselves.
At Solana, it creates a lifestyle that's designed to be easy, connected and enjoyable from day one.

Own Your Home
Your home belongs to you. It's your place to personalise, enjoy and make your own.
No Stamp Duty
Because you're purchasing the home rather than buying a traditional house and land package, no stamp duty applies.
No Exit Fees
Unlike some other downsizing options, there are no deferred management or exit fees when you choose to sell.
Keep Any Capital Gain
If your home increases in value over time, any capital gain remains yours.
Less Maintenance
Community facilities, landscaping and shared spaces are professionally maintained, helping reduce the time and effort often associated with larger properties.
More Lifestyle
From resort-style facilities and wellness spaces to social clubs and community events, everything is designed to support a vibrant and active lifestyle.

Traditional home ownership offers the security of owning both the home and the land, but it can also come with greater responsibility.
Maintaining a larger property, managing gardens and keeping up with ongoing costs can become increasingly time consuming.
Land lease living provides an alternative. You still own your home, but many of the responsibilities associated with traditional property ownership are simplified, giving you more time to focus on the things you enjoy.
For many homeowners, that balance of independence, financial freedom and convenience is exactly what they're looking for.

No.
While both options are popular with downsizers, they operate very differently.
Land lease communities are designed for independent living. You own your home, maintain your independence and enjoy the flexibility that comes with home ownership.
Many people are surprised to learn that land lease living offers a completely different ownership structure to a traditional retirement village model, making it an attractive option for those seeking greater transparency and financial certainty.
The Confidence to Move Ahead
At Solana, homeowners enter into a Site Agreement governed by the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (QLD).
This legislation provides a clear framework for how land lease communities operate and helps protect homeowners through defined rights and responsibilities.
For many residents, it's reassuring to know that land lease living is a well-established housing model backed by legislation designed to provide transparency, security and peace of mind.
