Ashburton Rivers Lifestyle - Freedom Ashburton Rivers

Welcome to the Ashburton Rivers lifestyle.

Discover a vibrant, welcoming community designed for connection, activity and care-free living.

About the Village

Life here is about doing more of what you love, and less of what you don’t. Our village is designed to give you the ultimate freedom to thrive.

Homes that suit

At Ashburton Rivers, you can choose from six architecturally designed homes to suit your lifestyle, needs and budget. Whether you’re rightsizing or want space for guests or hobbies, every home is thoughtfully planned for comfort and easy day-to-day living.

Connected living

Life at Ashburton Rivers offers connection on your terms. Enjoy a friendly over-50s community within the village, with Ashburton’s town centre, cafés and essential services just minutes away, with Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region within easy reach.

Lock up and leave

Freedom homes are designed for secure, low-maintenance living. Whether you’re travelling or visiting family, you can lock up and leave with confidence, knowing your home and grounds are well cared for by a supportive village community.

Financial security

Freedom’s unique financial model is fairer and more equitable. When you decide to sell, you’re in charge of the process and can sell your home for its true market value. Any capital gains are yours to enjoy.*

Budgeting is made simple with clear weekly fees, which are capped to protect you from any jumps in rates.

*Subject to a capped exit fee structure and market conditions at the time.

Pets welcome

Pets are welcome at Ashburton Rivers, because they’re part of everyday life. With nearby walking trails, green spaces and easy outdoor living, it’s simple to enjoy time together without compromise.

Resort-style amenities

Once complete, the village centre will act as an extension of your home, with shared spaces for socialising and relaxation. Enjoy access to a gym, media room, bar, kitchen and more, all set within landscaped grounds that support an active, connected lifestyle.

The best thing you can do is enhance your living by surrounding yourself with fun… doing things you always wanted to do.
