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

Tetebatu is an emerging eco‑tourism zone with very strong recent visitor growth but a small, price‑sensitive STR market; ADRs cluster around USD 18–19 and average annual host revenue ≈ USD 2.3k.
The asking price (~USD 18.4k) is very low for a turnkey 2‑bed bungalow on 16,000 m², creating attractive entry pricing but major unknowns on tenure/permits and resale liquidity.
STR performance is highly dispersed: top listings can achieve 55–71%+ occupancy, but median listings sit near 30% occupancy and competition from >33 local accommodations risks downward pressure on rates.
