Spacious Hakone Villa with Japanese Garden and Open-Air Hot Spring
This distinctive detached villa, located in the prestigious Sengokuhara area of Hakone, offers a rare combination of traditional Japanese aesthetics and resort living. Built in July 1994, the wooden two-story structure sits on a generous 1,551.44 m² (approximately 469 tsubo) plot, featuring a meticulously maintained Japanese garden that provides serene, seasonally changing views. The property's total floor area is 247.47 m², arranged in a 2LDK layout complemented by a dedicated tea ceremony room.
Critical details from the agent's notes have been fully translated: The property's equipment includes electricity from Tokyo Electric Power Company. Important remarks regarding the hot spring specify that the villa holds one share of the hot spring rights. If connecting to the hot spring supply, in addition to the hot spring right fee, a special contribution of 1.65 million yen (taxable) per share is required. The basic hot spring fee (for usage up to 8 cubic meters per day, on 10 days or fewer per month) is 18,480 yen (tax included) monthly per share; exceeding this usage incurs additional charges. Please note that the amounts for the neighborhood association fee and disaster preparedness fund vary depending on the ownership format.
The property includes parking for four vehicles and utilizes LP gas and public water/sewage systems. It's important to note that a portion of the land is designated as a sediment disaster alert area (Yellow Zone).
The Sengokuhara district of Hakone is renowned for its vast susuki (pampas grass) fields, which create a stunning golden landscape in autumn, attracting photographers and nature lovers. This villa offers convenient access to Hakone's world-famous attractions, including the Hakone Open-Air Museum, a major landmark showcasing sculptures in a picturesque hillside setting.
