DOCTORSVILLAGE Yurari ⑤: A Spacious Land Plot in Niseko's Serene Countryside
This land listing, DOCTORSVILLAGE Yurari ⑤, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 1,000 sqm (approximately 302.5 tsubo) plot in the tranquil Yurari area of Rankoshi Town, Hokkaido. The property is situated in a natural park area, offering a peaceful retreat with established infrastructure. The land is accessible via a paved public road on the southeast side and a private paved road on the northwest side.
Critical property details from the agent notes include the following facilities: There is a simple water supply system managed by the local association, which is suitable for domestic use. The water pipes are already laid from the front road into the property. A shared purification tank (concentrated septic system) is currently available for use, with the cost of connection piping to be borne by the owner. However, it is recommended that a private, individual purification tank be installed in the future for long-term use.
Important points for consideration are that construction requires joining the Yurari Village Management Association, with monthly fees of 23,000 yen covering water charges, road grass cutting, and road snow removal. While the road is public, the town does not perform snow clearance; this service is provided by a contractor paid for by the management fees. The annual fixed asset tax is 13,900 yen, and the property is subject to the Forest Law. The land is located outside of city planning zones, with a building coverage ratio of 20% and a floor area ratio of 60%.
The area around Rankoshi is known for its stunning natural beauty, part of the greater Niseko region famous for its powder snow. An interesting local fact is that the nearby hot spring source, "Yunosato," meaning "hot spring village," gives the area its name and has been enjoyed for generations. The closest major tourist attraction is the world-renowned Niseko United ski resort, approximately a 30-minute drive away, offering year-round outdoor activities from skiing to hiking and golf.
