This property is a 2DK condominium unit within the Seibu Villa Naeba Building 6, a large-scale resort complex located in the famous winter sports destination of Yuzawa, Niigata. The unit offers a total floor area of 49.74 square meters with a 5.20 square meter balcony, situated on the 3rd floor of a 12-story building. Built in November 1981, the structure is a robust steel-reinforced concrete construction. The layout includes two rooms plus a dining-kitchen area, with a southeast-facing orientation.
The property's equipment and facilities are detailed as follows: hot water is supplied by a storage-type electric water heater, cooking utilizes an electric stove, and heating is provided by a forced-air gas heater (FF system). There is currently no air conditioning installed, but installation is possible subject to application and approval.
Monthly fees include a management fee of 13,600 yen and a repair reserve fund of 3,200 yen, totaling 16,800 yen. Additional monthly utilities include a basic water charge of 1,386 yen. Upon purchase, a one-time special reserve fund of 120,000 yen is required. The property is offered for sale through an agent with an intermediary commission of 330,000 yen. The current condition is that of a resort property, with the handover timing and inclusion of furniture/fittings open for discussion.
The building offers extensive shared amenities for residents, including a 24-hour front desk at the Building 6 management center, a free shared parking lot with 250 spaces, a coin laundry with eight washers and six dryers, and a dedicated ski locker for each unit. Free Wi-Fi is available in the salon area adjacent to the management center. The location is exceptionally convenient for ski enthusiasts, as the renowned Naeba Ski Resort is just a 15-minute walk away. The area is also rich in hot spring culture, with facilities like the "Shukuba no Yu" onsen approximately a 15-minute drive from the property.
The Yuzawa region, part of Niigata Prefecture, is famously known as a 'snow country' with some of the heaviest and highest-quality powder snow in Japan. An interesting historical fact is that the area's development as a major ski destination was significantly boosted by the opening of the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train line in 1982, which placed world-class slopes within easy reach of Tokyo. The closest major landmark is the expansive Naeba Ski Resort, part of the larger Prince Snow Resorts Naeba, which offers extensive terrain, night skiing, and summer activities.
