Good Friday Appeal: Charity Home Auction Smashes Record!
The Good Friday Appeal’s Charity Home Auction blew the records out of the water with an amazing $1,082,000 raised for the Royal Children’s Hospital at Villawood’s Redstone community in Sunbury.
Rami and Sharlotte Ayoob of Mickleham were ecstatic about securing the beautiful Vogue 34 Henley home, saying it was a new beginning.
Their $1.082M bid eclipsed last year’s record $903K at Rathdowne by a thumping $179K – with every cent going to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
Set on a generous park-front block, the luxurious Hamptons inspired Henley home is superbly finished featuring four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas including a separate study, a grand alfresco and even your own soccer goals! The secluded master suite is complete with a large ensuite, oversized dressing room and private balcony to enjoy the lush views of Redstone’s Northvale park and playground.
Villawood has been involved in this program since 2009, donating prime land and helping raise more than $9 million for the Royal Children’s Hospital, along with their long-term partners Henley Homes.
A developer with a difference
Villawood Properties has grown to become one of Australia’s leading residential land developers.
From modest beginnings in 1989 developing small subdivisions in Bendigo, today Villawood Properties predominately concentrates on large scale master planned communities which incorporate a combination of mixed-use town centres, residents’ clubs, educational facilities, large display villages and the creation of high quality parks and open spaces.
We understand there is much more to creating a living, breathing community than simply constructing a housing allotment, and are committed to going that extra mile to deliver vibrant communities where residents form strong and lasting relationships. With a proven track record in delivering innovative, community-focused developments, Villawood boasts a portfolio of over 50 completed residential projects.

Villawood Storms Into South Australia

Caring for the Carers
Villawood is Caring for the Carers
Melbourne’s surging property prices are making it increasingly difficult for people in the essential services to get into the market. Villawood’s Care Worker Support Program was created in 2018 so that people working in these roles can still afford to buy land in Villawood projects.
Under this initiative, purchasers who are employed as care workers who work within a 10km radius of a Villawood community that they are seeking to buy in, will be eligible for a $20,000 rebate on their block of land. Villawood devised the Care Workers Support Program so care workers may live and work in the communities they serve.

How resident-only clubs have set Melbourne estates apart on city’s fringe
Gyms, pools and space to bring your neighbours together for a catch up or some yoga practice have long set new estates with residents’ clubs apart from the crowd. But a leading development boss is now contrasting them with the churches of days gone by as a hub of community building. With proponents linking them to everything from faster capital growth to stronger communities and better schooling outcomes, buyers are increasingly comfortable with shelling out close to $1000 a year to be part of the club.

All Points of the Compass at Rathdowne
The migrant sojourn that shaped the lives of so many Australians is being celebrated in Melbourne’s northern greenfields with a giant illuminated compass by Villawood’s resident sculptor Folko Kooper. Folko has created the gold-coloured way-finder at the entrance of our Rathdowne community at Wollert. Folko has a lengthy catalogue of giant sculptures he’s designed for Villawood but this one has a special significance for the Dutch-born artist.
