Solitude Hanazono: A Secluded Luxury Chalet in Niseko
Solitude is one of the most secluded and tranquil luxury properties in Niseko, while also being one of the closest chalets to the lifts on the entire mountain. It is a five-minute (500m) walk to the Park Hyatt Hotel and its five-star restaurants, as well as the new Hanazono lifts. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas are filled with light and offer views of Mt. Yotei. The home's three levels and two balconies provide ample space for everyone.
This 286 sqm house features four bedrooms. The ensuite master bedroom includes a spacious walk-in closet, a soaking tub, and a step-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a generous, cork-floored bathroom with a separate toilet occupy the top floor. A fourth bedroom on the living floor doubles as a library-office, with custom-crafted bookshelves filling an entire wall and double doors providing direct access to the garden and a river-stone fire pit.
The ground floor entrance is generously sized and backed by a six-hundred-bottle wine cellar. Additional features include a laundry room with owner’s storage, a dry room, and a garage that includes another owner’s closet. The house sits on a 1,003 sqm parcel of land that backs onto a birch forest. Landscaping incorporates large, oversized boulders, perennial flowers, and railroad ties, with stairs rising from the parking area to a kitchen door at the side of the house. The front of the house is level to the street and paved, providing parking for an additional three vehicles.
Solitude represents quiet seclusion while simultaneously providing immediate access to the lifts at Hanazono each morning. An award-winning golf course is a five-minute walk from the chalet. Together with other summer amenities at Hanazono, it is ideally situated for someone seeking a four-season resort home.
The property is located in the prestigious Hanazono area of Kutchan, Hokkaido. This region is world-renowned for its exceptional powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. Beyond winter, the area transforms into a lush green paradise perfect for hiking, golf, and mountain biking. A notable landmark nearby is the majestic Mount Yotei, often referred to as "Hokkaido's Fuji" due to its symmetrical cone shape, which provides a stunning backdrop visible from many parts of the property.
