Mrs Fox and I moved here when we were 51 and 53 respectively.

The vast majority of our neighbors had been here since the village was built (1997/8) and we were welcomed unreservedly. I suspect, after ten years of the same people, they were glad of some new blood :-)

Since then, there have been many changes of ownership - do remember that an established village is a living entity. At 68, you won't be the youngest for very long.
