A Spacious Family Home with Private Onsen Amidst Hokkaido's Nature
This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a detached house complete with a private hot spring (onsen), set within the stunning natural landscapes of Hokkaido. The house, built in July 1999 by Daiwa House Industry Co., Ltd., features a light steel frame construction and spans two stories with a total floor area of 127.84㎡ (approximately 38.67 tsubo). The layout is a generous 4SLDK, comprising two Japanese-style rooms (6.0 and 6.1 tatami mats), two Western-style rooms (6.1 and 7.6 tatami mats), a spacious SLDK area of 17.8 tatami mats, and a service room of 7.0 tatami mats.
The property's equipment is comprehensive. It includes two toilets, one with a warm-water washlet, a separate bath and toilet, a bath with reheating function, a shower, and a bathroom over 1 tsubo in size with a window. The home features a system kitchen with a 3-burner stove, ample storage including a walk-in closet, air conditioning, central heating, BS satellite TV terminal, a dedicated indoor laundry machine space, and double-glazed windows. Utilities are powered by propane gas, with a water supply, septic tank, and side ditches.
Special notes highlight the resort-like atmosphere, being close to both the sea and mountains, ideal for fishing, and surrounded by田园 scenery and lush greenery in a quiet residential area. It is suitable as a vacation home or permanent residence. The lot is a corner plot with no buildings directly in front, a regular shape, good sunlight and ventilation from two sides, and a tile exterior. Critically, the house already has hot spring water piped in. The monthly base charge for the onsen is ¥3,300 (for up to 10 cubic meters), with excess usage charged at ¥200 per cubic meter. There is also a hot spring usage renewal fee of ¥300,000 every 10 years. Recent renovations include interior work (walls/ceilings) in August 2022, exterior work in May 2023, and water system updates in October 2021.
Additional remarks confirm the property is registered with the "Hokkaido Akiya Information Bank" and that a 25-year building inspection diagnostic report from Daiwa House is available. The land is a sizable 661㎡ (approx. 199.95 tsubo) with ownership rights, zoned outside the urban planning area. Parking is available for three or more vehicles at no extra cost. Monthly management fees are a low ¥2,000, with no key money or deposit required.
The area of Kabe District in southern Hokkaido is renowned for its dramatic natural beauty, where the mountains meet the sea. An interesting local fact is that the nearby town of Mori is famous for its squid fishing industry and hosts an annual Squid Festival. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Komagatake, an active stratovolcano within the Onuma Quasi-National Park, offering spectacular hiking and panoramic views of the region.
