A Queensland over 50s community is raising the bar for luxury residential living with the opening of a $22.9m club that rivals a five-star hotel.
The three-level country club, on the northern Gold Coast, is part of the $200m GemLife Gold Coast in Pimpama and includes a rooftop sky lounge, bar and resort-style infinity-edge pool, with panoramic views to the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Designed by renowned Gold Coast architect Jared Poole and spanning more than 7,200 sqm, the country club also features a gymnasium, indoor lap pool, bowling alley, golf simulator, cinema, wine lounge, salon, lawn bowls, library, workshop, function hall, and games room.
The 365-home GemLife Gold Coast community is under construction, with the first 80 homes already completed and occupied, and more than $128m of homes sold.

The pool area impresses day or night.
GemLife managing director and group CEO Adrian Puljich said the opening of the country club was a major milestone, with the exclusive resident amenities a significant drawcard for buyers.
“This new facility is unlike anything on offer in a residential community anywhere in Australia — it doesn’t just set a new benchmark for over-50s living, but luxury residential living more generally,” he said.
“We’ve spared no expense to ensure it delivers a lifestyle for our residents that’s second to none and can say with full confidence there is something in it for everyone. It is a place for the community to stay physically and socially active, and to connect with like-minded neighbours.”

Mr Poole, director of Jared Poole Design, said the country club capitalised on the elevated location of the site and its outlook to the city skyline and mountains.
“The vision was to create a village atmosphere and striking form, connecting residents to the outdoors so they can enjoy the coveted Gold Coast lifestyle year-round,” he said.
“The level of detail in the brickwork arches, which vault in multiple directions to create shadow, filtered protection and delineate walkways, is a highlight and example of the labour of love that has gone into the facility.
“It is an engaging space and destination for residents to spend time with friends and family.”

The country club is the first of a series of facilities to be delivered at GemLife Gold Coast, with future stages including a hilltop pavilion with an outdoor pool and a wellness club featuring an outdoor recreation precinct with tennis and pickleball court.
Homes in stage three are now selling, including architect-designed standard, premium split level and custom designs.
“The low-maintenance homes are designed for those right sizing in their over-50s and beyond to free up more time to enjoy the things they want to do,” Mr Puljich said.

“Demand has been extremely strong and, now the Country Club is complete, we’re anticipating a new wave of interest as buyers look to take advantage of access to this fantastic facility.”
Homes at GemLife Gold Coast are priced from $880,000.
GemLife Gold Coast is a land lease community, meaning buyers own their home and rent the land via a weekly site fee that covers amenities, maintenance and management.
