IRT understands that senior women on their own sometimes have difficulty accessing appropriate retirement living options. Jasmine Grove at IRT Kanahooka offers a new type of retirement living, which enables a small group of single women over the age of 55 to live together in a supportive environment within our retirement village.
Jasmine Grove will feature 8 private, self contained one-bedroom villas, as well as a community living, cooking and gardening space.
Jasmine Grove also offers a more affordable price range, with the upfront payment starting from $199,000 plus instalments.*

Collaborative housing is a new concept, designed to encourage participation, sharing and community building, while enabling each person to also have their own private and secure home.
Jasmine Grove has been designed specifically to encourage sharing of resources, spaces and everyday activities, allowing a more affordable, sustainable and enjoyable way of living for a group of women over 55 living on their own. The Jasmine Grove community rooms and gardens will include a communal lounge space, a kitchen for cooking and meals, and a garden for self-sustaining vegetables for the whole community to enjoy.
IRT has been part of the UTS collaborative housing guide which provides a number of different stories about how people are developing collaborative ways of living.
Gardening, growing produce and communal cooking are central themes in the shared spaces at Jasmine Grove. We hope residents will cook meals together with produce grown in their own garden, building strong social connections at the same time.
Within the community there are defined spaces for growing vegetables, storage for tools and supplies, and a commercial kitchen in the common area. There are also decorative gardens to tend around the villas.
Residents are encouraged to use these spaces as opportunities to build community, connect with other residents and promote sustainable lifestyles.
Get the most out of retirement living and take advantage of our home care services, included with your villa purchase.
As a resident of Jasmine Grove, you’ll receive 50 hours of home care services to use within 12 months of living in the community.*
