Set within the aptly named region of Scenic Rim, a tranquil new development is drawing downsizers for its blend of natural beauty, connectivity, and easy living.
The over-50s community of Millers Glen, by Ingenia Lifestyle, is located in the small rural town of Beaudesert, Queensland – about an hour’s drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
With a beautiful backdrop of mountains and sprawling hinterlands, Beaudesert is ideally positioned for a peaceful tree change without losing access to the city when needed.
"The Scenic Rim region would most definitely be considered a ‘tree-change’ for many, offering the perfect blend of nature and lifestyle, within the tranquillity of a rural setting," says Adam Forrester, Head of Development Queensland at Ingenia.
"Being in the heart of the Scenic Rim, Beaudesert is an attractive downsizing option for those moving from larger properties and those seeking a relaxed lifestyle while maintaining connectivity to the Gold Coast and Brisbane."
"We are really excited to showcase our new Display Village from mid-October," continued Forrester. "This range of 2 and 3 bedroom homes has been thoughtfully designed to ensure functional, low-maintenance living, allowing residents to focus on relaxing and entertaining with friends and family.
Our homes are designed to support independent living, providing our residents the confidence and ability to ‘age-in-place’."

Homeowners also keep any capital gains when the home is sold.
