Spacious 6LDK Villa in the Tranquil Minami-Yugawara Hot Spring Resort Area
Nestled within the quiet Minami-Yugawara villa district, this expansive property offers a generous 6LDK layout plus a multi-purpose room across approximately 510.88 square meters of total floor area. The living-dining-kitchen area is a vast space of approximately 56.2 tatami mats, ideal for large gatherings, while the separate multi-purpose room (approx. 24.8 tatami mats) provides flexibility for meetings, a studio, or other uses. The property's scale makes it suitable for various purposes, including a corporate retreat facility or an art gallery. The structure is a two-story reinforced concrete building with an asbestos cement board roof, built in January 1979. A separate outbuilding, also constructed in January 1979, features a concrete block structure with a galvanized steel sheet roof and a floor area of 5.44 square meters.
Critical agent notes have been translated: The equipment includes electricity from Tokyo Electric Power Company. Special remarks detail the outbuilding's floor area. Importantly, the property has the potential for hot spring connection. The hot spring rights fee (hot spring supply membership fee) varies depending on the intended use, presence of a hot water storage tank, and bath capacity, ranging from 473,000 to 1,793,000 yen (one-time payment, tax included). After the hot spring is piped in, a monthly hot spring usage fee (12,390 to 66,384 yen, tax included) and a meter management fee (324 yen, tax included) will be separately required.
The property sits on a sizable 1,280.41 square meter lot, which has been cleared of trees, presenting a neat and tidy impression. The approach is concrete-paved, and there is parking space for four vehicles. Utilities include LP gas with individual units and a public water supply. The building is currently occupied. Important notes for buyers include that the existing building does not comply with the current setback regulation (2 meters from the neighboring land), meaning a new construction cannot be built in the same location. Also, part of the land falls within a sediment disaster warning area (yellow zone).
The surrounding Atami and Yugawara area is a renowned hot spring destination on the Izu Peninsula, famous for its therapeutic waters and scenic coastal views. An interesting local fact is that Yugawara has been a popular retreat for literary figures, including the Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata, who found inspiration in its serene environment. The closest major tourist attraction is the iconic Atami Castle, a modern reconstruction offering panoramic views of Sagami Bay and housing a museum and ninja experience, located just a short drive away.
