This beautiful property has now been sold - congratulations to the lucky new owners!

Nestled within the prestigious Izumikyo estate in Niseko Hirafu, Villa Kita no Kuni stands as a testament to time and tradition. Built in 1991 and named after a beloved Furano TV show, this property encapsulates the essence of local cultural heritage.

Set on an expansive 775 sqm of prime land, Villa Kita no Kuni offers more than just a residence; it provides an unrivaled experience. The property presents an awe-inspiring panorama of Mount Yotei, a constant reminder of the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds it.

Originally crafted as a central house with two studio apartments, the residence underwent a thoughtful transformation eleven years ago. The renovation introduced a master bedroom with an ensuite, seamlessly blending modern comfort with the property's historic charm. Notably, a fully self-contained studio remains an integral part of the building, offering additional flexibility and potential.

Modern amenities abound, including a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter evenings, a new heating system for added warmth, an upgraded kitchen for culinary enthusiasts, and a spacious basement storage area for practical convenience. An external all-weather screen room beckons residents to enjoy the stunning surroundings year-round.

Currently, the property stands as a sound investment, generating consistent income through long-term rentals at 350,000 JPY per month. With the lease set to conclude in October next year, the potential for increased rental income, reaching 550,000 JPY per month, adds a lucrative dimension for prospective buyers.

Villa Kita no Kuni invites discerning individuals to be a part of its unique narrative, offering a lifestyle that seamlessly merges tradition with modernity. Whether as a cherished family home, an income-generating property, or a strategic investment for future development, this residence is a testament to architectural excellence and the promise of a remarkable living experience in the heart of Niseko Hirafu
