This property, ULIVILLA ONSEN, is a contemporary single-story wooden house built in December 2018 (Heisei 30) in the prestigious Niseko area of Hokkaido. The home offers a spacious 171.62 sqm (51.92 tsubo) of living space on a generous 653 sqm (197.53 tsubo) plot, providing ample room and privacy. The structure features a galvanized steel plate roof and is situated within a subdivision facing an 8-meter wide paved road.
Key equipment and facilities, as detailed in the agent notes, include a management association providing well water and onsen (hot spring) access. The home features a mix of Japanese-Western and Western-style rooms, specifically: one Japanese-Western room, two Western rooms, two toilets, one bath, and one shower. It is also equipped with central heating for year-round comfort.
The property is part of the Royal Town management association, with an annual fee of 172,240 yen covering services including seasonal snow removal—a crucial consideration in this renowned winter sports region. The interior is described as a wonderful, healing space, configured as a 3LDK+S layout. The building coverage ratio is 50% with a floor area ratio of 200%, situated within the Niseko Landscape Ordinance Special Use Restriction Zone.
The Niseko area is world-famous for its exceptional powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. Beyond winter, the region offers stunning natural beauty with lush green summers and vibrant autumn colors. An interesting fact is that Niseko's consistent, high-quality snow is due to cold Siberian winds picking up moisture over the Sea of Japan. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yotei, often referred to as 'Ezo Fuji' for its striking resemblance to Mount Fuji, which dominates the skyline and offers spectacular hiking in the warmer months.
