BDI Villas: A Unique Alpine Investment in Hakuba
BDI Villas offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Olympic history in the heart of the Japanese Alps. This property comprises four self-contained, cozy villas, originally built to host guests during the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. The complex includes three villas and a separate cottage, all fitted with natural wood décor and stylish furnishings, creating a warm and inviting mountain retreat.
The main villa features 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, while the two additional villas each offer 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The cottage, situated on a separate title, consists of a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout with an additional loft space. Each unit contains a spacious living room with a sofa and flat-screen TV, and a kitchen and dining area equipped with a stove, microwave, and refrigerator. A unique and valuable feature is that each villa rental currently comes with a complimentary car for guest use during their stay. All four of these vehicles could be included in the sale for an additional cost.
Strategically located just a 2-minute drive from Hakuba 47 Ski Resort, the property offers unparalleled access to world-class winter sports. Happo-one Ski Resort, Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort, Iimori Ski Resort, and JR Hakuba Station are all within a 5-minute drive, making it an ideal base for skiing, travel, and exploration. The villas can be rented separately or together, accommodating up to 18 guests, presenting a flexible and potentially lucrative investment in Hakuba's thriving tourism market.
The surrounding Hakuba Valley is famed not only for its Olympic-grade ski slopes but also for its stunning natural beauty. The area is part of the Northern Japan Alps and is a gateway to Chubu-Sangaku National Park, a vast protected area known for its dramatic peaks, alpine flora, and hiking trails. This location combines the thrill of a premier ski destination with the serene majesty of one of Japan's most celebrated national parks.
