Petit Monde Yamanakako: A Compact Lakeside Retreat
This property is a compact studio apartment located directly in front of Lake Yamanakako in Yamanakako Village, Yamanashi Prefecture. The apartment is situated on the 5th floor of a 5-story (plus 2 basement levels) reinforced concrete (RC) building named Petit Monde Yamanakako, built in December 1989. The unit offers a wall-core exclusive area of 27.3 sqm (approximately 8.25 tsubo), laid out as a one-room studio with a separate 10.8-tatami mat Western-style room. The main living space faces northeast.
The building is well-equipped with amenities including storage space, CATV, optical fiber internet, an auto-lock security system, 24-hour security, propane gas, hot water supply, an elevator, and the convenience of being able to take out garbage at any time. There is also a free bicycle parking area. The property is on the top floor of the building. Monthly running costs include a water base rate of 315 yen, a management fee of 9,364 yen, and a repair reserve fund of 2,850 yen. Parking is available at an additional cost. The sale price is 5,500,000 yen, and the handover timing is negotiable. The transaction is handled as a general intermediary.
The location is a major highlight, positioned right on the shores of Lake Yamanakako along a national highway. This provides easy access to daily necessities, with a supermarket (Ogino, 700m) and a convenience store (7-Eleven, 450m) within walking distance. Public transport access is facilitated by the Central Highway Bus stop, approximately a 5-minute walk (410m) away. The property is also conveniently located about 1.9km (a 4-minute drive) from the Yamanakako Interchange on the East Fuji Five Lakes Road.
The area around Lake Yamanakako is part of the iconic Fuji Five Lakes region at the northern base of Mount Fuji. An interesting fact is that Lake Yamanakako is the largest of the five lakes by surface area and, due to its altitude, is a popular spot for winter sports like ice fishing and skating when it freezes. The closest major landmark is, unmistakably, the majestic Mount Fuji itself, which provides a breathtaking backdrop to the lake and the surrounding village.
