Profile

This 2-bedroom homestay for sale in Tetebatu represents one of the most affordable entry points into Lombok’s operational hospitality market — a turnkey asset on a generous 16,000m² land holding in East Lombok’s premier eco-tourism village.

Tetebatu’s appeal is structural and enduring. Positioned on the southern slopes of Mount Rinjani at roughly 700 metres altitude, it offers a cool climate, dramatic rice terrace landscapes, and proximity to the island’s most visited natural attractions: Jeruk Manis Waterfall, Sarang Walet Waterfall, the Black Monkey Forest, and the Tetebatu Rinjani trekking circuit. This is not a speculative location — it has been welcoming international visitors since the 1990s and has a deep base of returning guests and travel blog coverage that drives consistent organic demand.

The property itself is a functional, well-reviewed homestay with 2 guest bedrooms, private bathrooms, and surrounded by rice fields and lush gardens. It currently operates on major booking platforms with an established online presence and verified guest reviews — meaning you acquire not just a physical asset but an operational business with a trackable revenue history.

The 16,000m² land holding is the standout feature. It offers room to add further bungalow units, a small pool, an on-site café, or develop a second accommodation cluster — all without compromising the property’s green, rural character. Comparable expanded properties in Tetebatu with 4–6 units achieve occupancy rates of 55–65% year-round.

Foreign buyers can acquire this asset via Hak Sewa (leasehold) or a PT PMA structure. The homestay category is one of the most straightforward property types for foreign investors to operate legally in Indonesia under a PT PMA business licence.

Key Findings

Large turnkey asset: 2-bedroom homestay on 16,000 m² in Tetebatu — strong eco-tourism setting (Rinjani slopes, rice terraces) but inland, not beachfront.
Short-term rental potential is moderate: likely blended ADR US$50–80 and blended occupancy 40–60% (higher during trekking/seasonal peaks); achieving Lombok top-tier yields (7–10% net) requires a low purchase price or significant yield enhancement.
Key deal frictions: listing price and tenure not specified (legal clarity low), weaker infrastructure & liquidity vs South Lombok, and local competition among homestays—these materially raise execution risk.
