About Elements

Elements, nestled amidst the eucalypt trees of the Daisy Hill forest, is a staged retirement community development in Springwood, a southern suburb of Brisbane Queensland Australia. It is located approximately 21km from the Brisbane CBD and 53km to the Gold Coast.

The Elements retirement village and community will include 117 single story villas hidden amongst our spacious 48,100m2 of land. The community includes a community / wellness centre, zen garden and close proximity to a range and diversity of shops, cafes, hospitals, golf courses, major shopping centres, local pubs and clubs, schools, places of worship, public transport and personal services and amentities. The site where Elements is today was formerly the John Paul College playing fields and backs on to the Daisy Hill State Forest.

Chiou See Anderson, Elements’ Managing Director, is the creative mind and the driving force behind Elements Retirement Living @ Springwood.  The community is owned and operated by Elements Third Age Living @ Springwood Pty Ltd as trustee for The Chiou See Investment Trust and as trustee for The Barclay Elements Trust.

The concept behind Elements Retirement Living @ Springwood

Everything about Elements has been thoughtfully created and crafted to make every aspect of your life more enjoyable and rewarding. You may have heard of the term, Third Age Living. Elements is retirement living for this stage of your life. “In the first age you are nourished. In the second age you’re a breadwinner. In the third age life is a feast.”

To help achieve that fuller enjoyment of life during this time, the design and development of retirement living at Elements has looked at all the “elements”.

Physical Elements

At Elements, we have designed a dedicated wellness retreat that comes with a 10 person indoor spa enclosed in a private room that has views into the bush land and stackable doors that allow you to take in the natural beauty of our unique setting.

In addition, we have a combined gym and yoga room which leads to an outdoor exercise retreat which could be used for Tai Chi classes or outdoor yoga. A large consulting room which can be separated into 2 individual rooms if necessary is also housed with the Wellness Retreat to accommodate visiting GPs, Podiatrist, beauticians, masseurs, financial planners and even lawyers.

Our proximity to the Daisy Hill State Forest provides you and your family and friends the opportunity to venture into the forest for a walk along the designated walking tracks or to jump onto one of the community bicycles and cycle through its 450 hectare forest grounds.

A resident operated organic garden with its one meter high planter boxes, chook pen and worm farm will provide you with plenty fresh and healthy vegetables and eggs and an opportunity to put those gardening skills to a yummy use.

Spiritual Elements

Elements is conveniently located  in close proximity to a variety of places of worship of any religious denomination. We have compiled a list of churches, temples and mosques in our vicinity. Additionally, for those times when you want to simply walk out your door and retreat for a moment of relaxation and a place to think quietly and possibly ponder upon life, we have created a Japanese-inspired Zen garden. It is a haven to escape to and perhaps find some peace and harmony.

The garden is complete with water features, a bridge and is filled with colorful planting which on the one hand is beautiful and relaxing and on the other hand, stimulates the mind’s creative side. Its your’s to enjoy. 

Social Elements

At Elements, our community has been designed to help widen your social circles and help you create new friendships if desired.

Entertaining at home is a pleasure with our generous courtyard/decks and ample street parking for your visitors. Your grandchildren will be suitably fascinated by the community chicken pen and worm farm and sufficiently exhausted after swimming in the outdoor or cycling through the adjoining 450 hectare Daisy Hill State Forest on one of our communal bicycles.

Elements has a community facility that you would be proud to call your own. The 950 sqm building provides for the following:

• Musical and theatrical enjoyment. With a stage, dance-floor, piano, organ and change rooms for performances, you can enjoy acting, singing and dancing activities with your friends at Elements.

• Games like billiards, mahjong, bridge, cards, chess or any board games can be enjoyed on specially designed game tables.

• A lounge area where you can meet your friends for a drink either from the tea and coffee station or from the bar.

• A library and computer room.

• A multi-purpose room to host a special birthday party or to share your travel photo album on the LCD TV with your friends or to entertain the grand kids with the latest movies.

• A large communal kitchen with servery access to the multi-purpose room and the pool area.

• A residents’ bar for that happy hour drink with your neighbours and friends.

• An outdoor pool with half the pool under shade so that you can cool off in summer. The pool will also be heated during spring and autumn to extend your swimming season.

• A craft room for all your creative activities such as pottery, sewing, leatherwork and painting.

• A workshop to tinker away at the special project.

• Wellness retreat – refer to Well being Element

Psychological Elements

At Elements Retirement Living@Springwood, we’ve designed a community that will help each resident maintain psychological health, regardless of their individual needs.

For those who are academically inclined, our library and computer room is stocked with the latest books, as well as classic literature.  For those who get their mental stimulation in other ways, we have a large social club which includes a dedicated room for bridge, chess, mah-jong or board games.

Elements will help you maintain your psychological well being and open up a range of new opportunities for you to explore in your third age.

Financial Elements

At Elements we recognise the importance of maintaining financial well being and independence.

We have kept our starting base price below the median house price with our two bedroom homes starting at $388,000. In most cases, this will allow you to sell your existing house and have enough equity to move into your brand new home which has been specifically designed and built for you at Elements.

We have adopted water wise and power wise measures to ensure that your monthly fees are minimised.
