Occupying a substantial 6,812m² Village-zoned landholding in the Derwent Valley township of Maydena, this exceptional property presents a rare home-and-income opportunity, combining Maydena Alpine Retreat - an established boutique accommodation retreat - with approved development potential.
Stage One of the development has been completed with a luxury guest retreat already constructed and operating successfully, providing immediate income.
Planning approval is in place for two additional dwellings, allowing the new owner to expand the accommodation offering while also constructing a private residence - creating the opportunity for a home-based lifestyle business, tourism investment, or nature retreat with room to grow.
Designed to immerse guests in the surrounding forest and mountain landscape, Maydena Alpine Retreat offers a refined nature-based accommodation experience unique in the region.
Properties offering an established retreat together with approved expansion and private residence potential rarely become available in this region.
Located just over one hour's scenic drive from Hobart, the property enjoys a peaceful natural setting in one of Tasmania's most desirable nature-based tourism destinations.
APPROVED DEVELOPMENT
Planning approval has been granted for three dwellings in total:
• Two visitor accommodation dwellings (one completed and operating; one approved but not yet built)
• One private residence (approved but not yet built)
The remaining approvals provide flexibility to construct one or both dwellings in the future.
With Village zoning there may also be potential (STCA) to amend the approved configuration - for example converting the planned private residence to visitor accommodation.
PRIME LOCATION FOR YEAR-ROUND VISITATION
Positioned near the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the property is located close to:
• Mount Field National Park
• Southwest National Park
• Maydena Bike Park
The region attracts year-round visitors from Tasmania, mainland Australia and internationally, including walkers, nature enthusiasts and mountain bikers.
For anyone seeking a lifestyle change, Maydena offers the rare balance of income potential, peaceful natural surroundings and convenient access to Hobart just over an hour away.
For mainland buyers considering a tree-change, the property provides the opportunity to combine income with a nature-based lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Tasmania's capital.
ESTABLISHED BOUTIQUE ACCOMMODATION
Maydena Alpine Retreat has been created to deliver a premium guest experience unique in the area.
Since opening four months ago, the retreat has established strong early momentum, consistent bookings and excellent guest reviews across multiple travel platforms.
Occupancy over the past three months has exceeded 90%, demonstrating strong early demand.
The business is offered as a going concern, providing a fully operational accommodation retreat with established systems and immediate income.
Operations have been intentionally designed to be easily manageable for owner-operators, while offering flexibility to expand over time.
The strong early response highlights the appeal of the location and the potential for further growth as the remaining approved dwellings are developed.
INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES
Significant groundwork has already been completed including:
• Development approval secured
• Mains water, sewer and 3-phase electricity connected
• Formalised driveway access completed
• Starlink high-speed internet connected (NBN services available in Maydena)
• CCTV installed
• New fencing and landscaped grounds
Future construction of the remaining dwellings may be undertaken through traditional onsite construction or modular delivery.
The current owners have already held discussions with a reputable local modular home builder who has previously costed the project and expressed interest in delivering the additional dwellings, with modular construction offering significant efficiencies including potential construction timeframes of around 12 weeks.
Importantly, the owners can introduce incoming purchasers to this builder and other professionals associated with the project, helping to streamline the process should the next owner wish to proceed with development.
Traditional onsite construction through other local builders remains a viable alternative option if preferred.
FLEXIBLE LIFESTYLE & MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
Income and lifestyle can be structured in a number of ways, including:
• Continue operating the existing retreat
• Construct the second accommodation dwelling
• Build the approved private residence
• Live onsite and manage the property, or manage remotely with local support
• Create a multigenerational lifestyle property
For anyone seeking a lifestyle change, the property offers the opportunity to live close to nature while operating a boutique accommodation retreat.
TRANSITION SUPPORT AVAILABLE
Having envisioned and developed the retreat from inception, the current owners are available to assist with a smooth transition if required, providing operational insights, trusted trade contacts and practical knowledge to support continued success.
Opportunities to secure an established lifestyle property with an operating accommodation retreat and approved expansion in this region are extremely limited.
