Angel Forest Nasu Yusei-kyo: A Wood-Burning Stove Retreat with Natural Views
This single-family vacation home, located within the well-managed Angel Forest Nasu resort community, offers a unique retreat with a spacious living-dining-kitchen area featuring a wood-burning stove and a sloped ceiling that creates an open, airy atmosphere. The property boasts a covered wooden deck that provides expansive views of the lush natural surroundings. The resort itself offers comprehensive 365-day management and amenities including restaurants and cottages, with convenient services like an intra-resort shuttle bus.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity from Tokyo Electric Power Company. Critical special notes detail the costs associated with the onsen (hot spring) access. The hot spring basic fee is 9,680 yen (tax included) every two months. A key condition states that if hot spring usage exceeds 10 cubic meters, an additional charge of 242 yen (tax included) per cubic meter will apply. Furthermore, the monthly common area fee of 11,385 yen (or 78,540 yen annually) is calculated for the building under individual ownership without regular inspections. If the building is corporately owned (also without regular inspections), this common area fee increases to 120,120 yen per year (tax included).
The property is situated on a generous 861 sqm corner lot with road frontage on two sides. The 82.81 sqm wooden structure, built in April 1990, features a 1LDK layout plus a versatile free space with ample storage. Additional features include LP gas for the stove and water heater, a private septic tank, and one dedicated car parking space. A renovation and repair project was completed in February 2024. The purchase includes a hot spring right for 1,400,000 yen, valid for 10 years, and requires a brokerage fee of 478,500 yen.
The area around Nasu is renowned for its beautiful highland scenery and numerous hot spring resorts. An interesting fact is that the Nasu region is part of a massive volcanic complex, with Mount Nasu-dake being an active stratovolcano. The closest major landmark is the stunning Nasu Shiobara area, a popular destination for its therapeutic hot springs and hiking trails within Nikko National Park, offering breathtaking natural beauty throughout the seasons.
