Cedar House: A Modern Ski Chalet in Niseko's Royal Town
Cedar House is a thoroughly reimagined modern ski chalet located in the highly sought-after Royal Town development in Niseko. This property offers unparalleled access and proximity to diverse ski options, being a mere 2-3 minute drive from the Moiwa and Annupuri ski areas, as well as the Niseko backcountry.
The home has been designed to provide all the comforts and joys of a thoughtfully designed retreat. The entrance features dedicated wall space for hanging ski equipment and gear, along with a bench and heater. A new kitchen is equipped with a touchless faucet and dishwasher, and connects seamlessly to wrap-around seating and a dining table for intimate meals. A standout feature is the wall-sized 120" ALR movie screen in the downstairs theater room. For music enthusiasts, a flagship digital upright piano is also at your disposal. The property includes an enclosed garage and two outdoor parking spaces, with two additional spaces cleared during winter.
The design is an interplay of light and nature. Generous windows offer numerous views of the beautiful surroundings, including glimpses of Moiwa, the home's namesake Japanese cedar in the backyard, and the seasonal kaleidoscope of turning leaves. Skylights on the second floor provide an architectural quality of illumination, creating an almost ethereal passage of time in each room. After a day on the slopes, you can enjoy two onsens practically around the corner, including the only mixed-gender public bath in Niseko. Furthermore, private onsen water is piped directly to the home. An extra bonus is your very own personal sakura (cherry) tree greeting visitors at the front corner of the property.
The area surrounding Niseko is renowned for its world-class powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders globally. An interesting fact is that the Niseko United area receives an average of over 15 meters of snowfall annually. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Yotei, often referred to as "Hokkaido's Mount Fuji" due to its near-perfect conical shape, which provides a stunning backdrop to the region.
