Forest Hills Ishiuchi: A Resort Condominium in the Heart of Niigata's Snow Country
This property is a 1LDK condominium unit within the expansive Forest Hills Ishiuchi resort complex, located in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. The unit is situated on the 11th floor of a 13-story building, offering a southwest-facing orientation and a private floor area of 52.8 square meters. Built in November 1990, the building is a robust steel-reinforced concrete structure developed by renowned contractors Takenaka Corporation and Yoshihara-gumi.
The property comes equipped with essential amenities for comfortable resort living. According to the agent's notes, the unit features an electric water heater for hot water supply, an electric cooking stove for the kitchen, and an FF-type kerosene fan heater for warming the space. While permanent air conditioning is not installed, the window frames are designed to allow for the easy installation of a window-type cooler if desired. A critical note regarding the hot water system specifies that the electric water heater has been replaced with a 20-liter unit, which is of a type that makes taking showers or baths within the unit itself difficult.
Residents benefit from the extensive shared facilities of the Forest Hills Ishiuchi complex. These include a 24-hour hot spring bathhouse with a sauna, coin-operated laundry facilities, a ski locker room, a drying room, table tennis, a barbecue corner, and even a dog run located just steps from the building. The management company provides front desk services, and the building features an auto-lock security system. Parking is available in various indoor and outdoor lots for a fee, with a large free outdoor lot also provided.
Monthly fees are a key consideration, totaling 31,780 Yen. This sum comprises a 26,300 Yen management fee and a 5,480 Yen repair reserve fund. Additionally, there is a monthly hot spring usage fee of 1,019 Yen and a basic water charge of 2,453 Yen. The agent's special remarks provide important local information: combustible garbage must be disposed of using the official garbage bags designated by Minamiuonuma City, which can be purchased individually or at the complex's front desk. For further details, prospective buyers are directed to the official Forest Hills Ishiuchi homepage.
