Hotori House is a newly constructed, fully furnished residence situated in the forested Doctors Village enclave of Yunosato, Rankoshi. Set on a spacious 1,079 m² lot with a year-round creek and a dedicated fire pit area, the property blends natural serenity with modern design. Located just 20 minutes from Hirafu and 8 minutes to Annupuri, it’s ideal for those seeking both tranquillity and proximity to Niseko’s renowned winter sports offerings. It is also surrounded by some of Niseko's best backcountry terrain. The house is licensed for short-term rental (Innkeeper’s license), making it suitable for immediate use as a private retreat, rental property, or both.

Thoughtfully crafted by a local builder experienced with Hokkaido’s snowy winters, the two-story home (157.34 m²) emphasises comfort and energy efficiency. Triple-glazed windows, double insulation, and a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace ensure cosy living. The interior features hinoki (Japanese cypress) flooring, a custom kitchen, foreign appliances, and well-appointed bathrooms, including a bespoke soaking tub. The flexible layout includes three bedrooms, one of which doubles as a bunk/media/tatami room, as well as a spacious dry room, a large garage, and air conditioning on the upper floor.

Built to rigorous local standards, the exterior showcases natural Hokkaido cedar siding on the first floor and metal cladding above. With new developments sprouting in the area and large plots ensuring privacy, this offering stands out as a turnkey, investment-ready home in one of the region’s up-and-coming communities. Starlink internet, a beer/wine fridge, and all furnishings complete the package for seamless occupancy or rental operation.
