A generous 200-tsubo freehold block in one of Kondo’s best neighbourhoods gives you room for a large house, garage, winter snow storage and a proper summer garden. The setting is central, practical and spacious enough to live well without feeling cramped.

Development is straightforward: the plot sits on a town road with municipal water already available at the site. Excellent Mt. Yotei views are likely to last, as the land across the street toward the mountain is both recessed and wet, making future building there difficult.

From here it is about 20 minutes to Annupuri, Hirafu, Niseko Village, Moiwa and Rusutsu, with bakeries, onsens, cheeseries and cafés close by in the surrounding Kondo area. It works equally well as a year-round home or an Airbnb, where the central location supports strong nightly rates.
