A Western-Style Pension with a Spacious Deck Terrace in the Venus Line Highlands
Nestled within the scenic beauty of Kurumayama Highlands, this unique property is a Western-style pension operating under a land leasehold right. The building was designed to replicate a French home and currently operates as a restaurant serving authentic French family cuisine. With guest rooms located on the second floor, the property is perfectly suited for continuing or starting a pension business. A major highlight is the expansive deck terrace, which offers stunning views and, on clear days, a vista of Mount Fuji, providing a serene backdrop accompanied by the sounds of Japanese bush warblers and pheasants.
The property includes four owner's rooms, adding to its appeal for live-in business operations. The current owner is seeking a successor to take over as they plan to return to France. According to agent notes, the building is a two-story wooden structure with a zinc-coated steel plate roof. Important details include: unregistered sections of the building exist; annual land lease fees are 227,620 yen; annual management fees are 49,500 yen; a name change fee of 220,000 yen is required upon purchase; and the water heater for the first-floor bath needs to be replaced.
The property sits on a 2,757 sqm sloped, wooded lot within a non-designated area of the urban planning zone. The total floor area is 280.44 sqm, divided between a 148.68 sqm first floor and a 131.76 sqm second floor. It was built in the Showa era. Utilities include electricity, a private water supply, and a centralized septic tank. Access is via a paved public road approximately 5 meters wide on the southwest side.
The location is exceptional, situated along the famous Venus Line, a spectacular driving route connecting the highlands of Yatsugatake, Kirigamine, Kurumayama, and Lake Shirakaba. The area is renowned for its panoramic views and rich alpine flora. A notable nearby landmark is the historic Tateshina Highlands, a popular resort area known for its serene lakes, hiking trails, and the Tateshina Kogen Museum of Art.
