SILENT HOUSE Kondo: A Spacious Retreat in Niseko's Tranquil Villa Area
This property, known as SILENT HOUSE Kondo, is a unique wooden three-story house located in a quiet villa district within Niseko Town, Hokkaido. It sits on a generous corner plot with a land area of 990 sqm (approximately 299.48 tsubo). The building itself offers a total floor area of 110.53 sqm (33.44 tsubo) and features a zinc-galvanized steel plate roof.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with public water supply, propane, and kerosene systems, and utilizes a septic tank. A key feature is the presence of an unregistered separate outbuilding that is connected to the main house by a deck. This auxiliary structure offers flexibility; it can be used as a detached cabin or could be removed to create additional parking space. The property is part of a management association (Niseko Kondo Cooperation Association), with an annual fee of 35,000 yen that includes seasonal snow removal for the front road. From the location, you can enjoy views of Mount Yotei.
The area is part of the renowned Niseko region, famous for its world-class powder snow and outdoor activities. An interesting fact is that Niseko's name is derived from the Ainu word "nisei-ko," meaning a cliff by a riverbank. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yotei, often called "Ezo Fuji" for its resemblance to Mount Fuji, which dominates the skyline and provides a stunning backdrop for the property.
