Kutchan Family Home with Mt. Yotei Views
This modern, western-style home with Japanese influences is located in a quiet Kutchan neighborhood. Built in 2021 and in excellent condition, the property is well-suited for family life and also offers potential as an investment property for rental or staff use.
The layout features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The ground floor consists of a large, open-plan kitchen and living area. This space includes a raised traditional tatami platform that can serve as a relaxation corner, a play area for children, or an overnight guest sleeping space. The second floor contains the home's three bedrooms and a veranda. Outside, the home's 101-tsubo lot includes a covered carport and yard space with room for a vegetable garden. A key feature is the stunning Mt. Yotei views, which are visible from throughout the house and from the second-floor veranda.
Regarding short-term rental permissibility, the property is zoned within Kutchan's 'Type 1 medium-to-high rise residential area' which does not allow for hotel/innkeeping operations. For minpaku (Airbnb) operation, this is permitted in a limited capacity, being restricted to weekends, public holidays, and the December 31 to January 3 period. There is no restriction on fixed-term or seasonal rental.
Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the property is within walking or cycling distance of schools and shops in Kutchan. The Niseko area ski resorts are approximately a 15-minute drive away. Future infrastructure developments for the region include the Hokkaido Shinkansen and an expanded expressway. This is a move-in-ready home in a convenient Kutchan location. The area is renowned for its world-class powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe to the nearby Niseko United ski resorts.
