Elevated Kabayama House in Niseko
This well-maintained family residence is located on an elevated plot in the Kabayama area of Kutchan, near The Orchards development. The property offers stunning, panoramic views of Mt. Annupuri and Mt. Yotei, as well as the adjoining rolling farmland. The interior features warm wood paneling throughout, creating a cozy and inviting cabin atmosphere perfect for a mountain retreat.
The house is generously sized with ample bedrooms and wash areas, catering comfortably to larger groups or families. A significant feature is the large loft and additional storage area, providing flexible space. The property sits on a generous land parcel, which presents excellent renovation opportunities such as adding a gym or workshop, which could significantly boost its value. For investors, the property holds a minpaku license, allowing for income generation through Airbnb-style short-term stays, and it is also suitable for longer-term seasonal rentals.
The area is part of the world-renowned Niseko ski region, famous for its incredibly light, powdery snow that attracts skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. Beyond winter, the region transforms into a lush green paradise ideal for hiking, golf, and enjoying the natural hot springs. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mt. Yotei, an almost perfectly symmetrical volcano often referred to as "Ezo Fuji" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji, which dominates the skyline and provides a breathtaking backdrop to the property.
