BOUTIQUE RETREAT & LIFESTYLE PROPERTY | 6,812m² | APPROVED EXPANSION
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.

No. Each one is something a listing or an agent said the home has, written down and passed on. Nobody from Byrz has been inside to confirm any of it, so treat the list as claims to check at an inspection rather than as findings.
How buying a home actually works
Buying a home is the same few steps every time.
What each step involves
Here they are in the order they actually happen, so you can see where reading this page fits in.
- Find out what you can borrow. Do this before you fall in love with a home. A lender or a mortgage broker works out how big a loan you could get, and that ceiling decides which homes are worth your Saturdays. It is called pre-approval, it is not a loan and it is not a promise, and asking for one costs you nothing.
- Go and stand in a few. Photographs flatter every home ever listed. An open home is free, nobody books you in, and you can leave after two minutes. Walking through five homes in one suburb teaches you what your money buys there, which is the thing no website can tell you.
- Pay somebody to check the home, and somebody to read the contract. A building and pest inspector finds what the photographs left out. A conveyancer or a solicitor reads the contract, which is the part that decides what happens if something goes wrong, and it is written before you ever see it. Both cost money, both are cheaper than what they find, and both happen before you sign rather than after.
- Then you make an offer, or you bid. An offer can usually be made subject to your finance and to the inspection, so you have a way out if either falls over. An auction sale usually has no cooling off period, so at an auction everything above has to be done before you raise your hand. After that comes settlement, which is a month or two of paperwork your conveyancer runs, and then the keys are yours.
You do not need an account for any of that. It does take months, though, and the homes you are weighing up will move while you are working through it.
Save this home and Byrz keeps watching it for you: price changes, and when the listing sells, goes under contract, is pulled or comes back.
Start watching this homeAuction
If this home goes to auction, you can register to bid and follow your own registration here.
The money
What buying this one would actually cost
The price is not the number you need: transfer duty, registry fees, a conveyancer and a building and pest inspection all come out of the same savings as your deposit, and Byrz works them out only from a price this listing states or one you put in, never one it invented.
Queensland only, for now
Byrz has transcribed the transfer duty schedule and the registry fees for Queensland, and so far only for Queensland. This home is in TAS, so Byrz will not put Queensland rates on it and will not guess at another state's.
Everything else on this page is unaffected, and what each of these costs pays for is the same wherever you buy, so the notes below still hold. A conveyancer in that state will give you the duty and the fees before you sign anything.
What each of these costs pays for
Transfer duty is a tax on the transaction itself, paid to the state, and on most purchases it is far larger than everything else combined. The registration fees pay the state titles office to record who owns the lot and who holds the mortgage over it. Conveyancing pays a person to read the contract, run the searches that tell you whether the property is affected by anything, and move the money on settlement day. Building and pest pays an inspector to walk the home before you are committed.
Why two of these are ranges, not rates
A published rate is set by a government, either applies to you or does not, and you can check it against the schedule yourself in a minute. A typical range is an observation Byrz has made about what people are charged, and nobody is bound by it. A page that mixes the two into one total without saying which is which has misled you by its shape, whatever its words said. Ring two conveyancers and find out what yours will be.
Why none of this can go on the loan
A lender lends against the property, not against the cost of buying it, so none of these charges can be added to the loan. They come out of the same savings you were going to put down, and they come out first. That means the price you can reach is not your savings divided by a deposit percentage: it is your savings, minus all of this, divided by a deposit percentage. People find this out at the wrong end, usually a week before settlement.
What Byrz cannot know about this home
Byrz does not put a price on any home. Every figure here is worked out from one price: the one this listing states, or the one you put in yourself, and the card says which. Byrz does not know your savings, so it shows reference deposits rather than your position. It does not decide whether a concession applies to you: the state revenue office does that, on the transfer, and a conveyancer will tell you where you stand before you sign.
How this area scores with the ABS
These scores describe the area around this home, not this home itself and not the people who live in it.
Scores for the Derwent Valley area, from the 2021 Census.
- Disadvantage
- 2 out of 10 across Australia
- Advantage and disadvantage
- 2 out of 10 across Australia
- Economic resources
- 5 out of 10 across Australia
- Education and occupation
- 1 out of 10 across Australia
This one is about disadvantage only. A decile of 1 means the area is among the most disadvantaged tenth of areas, counting things like low income, unemployment and homes without a car. A decile of 10 means it has few of those things. A high score does not mean an area is wealthy, only that it has little measured disadvantage.
This one counts advantage and disadvantage together, so it sits on one scale. A decile of 1 means the area has a lot of measured disadvantage and little advantage, and a decile of 10 means the opposite.
This one is about income and housing costs, and it leaves out education and job type on purpose. A decile of 1 means households in the area have relatively fewer economic resources, and a decile of 10 means they have relatively more.
This one is only about how much education people have and what kinds of jobs they do. A decile of 10 means the area has a lot of people with higher qualifications and skilled jobs. It says nothing about income.
SEIFA describes the area, not the people or households in it. These indexes are computed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for Derwent Valley, the statistical area this suburb sits in. A statistical area is a Bureau region of a few thousand people, so it can take in more than one suburb. A decile places the area against every other area in Australia: 1 means the lowest tenth on that index and 10 means the highest tenth.
What do these scores actually measure?
SEIFA is how the Australian Bureau of Statistics compares areas. Every area in Australia gets a score from 1 to 10, and the score describes the area as a whole, not any one household in it.

Where these records come from
Byrz reads these from government flood studies, planning schemes, school catchment maps and public transport datasets, at the mapped coordinate for this home. Boundaries and datasets change, and a mapped risk describes the mapped area, not the state of any building on it. Before relying on one of these records, check it against the council's or the custodian's own tools for this address.
What is a planning overlay?
An overlay is an extra rule a council puts on an area of land, on top of the normal zoning. If a home sits inside one, it means the council looks at certain plans more closely, like building near a waterway or changing an older character home. An overlay does not stop you buying the home.
What is a school catchment?
A state school catchment is the area a school takes its enrolments from, so a home inside one is generally entitled to a place at that school. Catchments are redrawn from time to time and there are exceptions, so confirm with the school or the education department before relying on one. Non-government schools set their own enrolment rules, which is why only state catchments appear here.
What is a lot and plan number?
It is how the state land registry names the piece of land an address is recorded against, and it is what a title search, a council enquiry or a conveyancer will ask you for. It describes the land, not the building on it: every unit in a block shares one plan, and a single parcel can hold more than one home. Where a land size is shown beside it, Byrz measured that from the boundary the registry publishes, because no state publishes the area itself.
