Mansion Minami Atami: A Resort Condominium with Onsen and Panoramic Views
This property is a unit within the Mansion Minami Atami, a large-scale resort condominium complex located in Atami City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The unit itself is a 2K layout with a private area of 25.57 square meters, situated on the 2nd floor of a 10-story reinforced concrete building constructed in February 1977, making it 49 years old. The property is for sale at a price of 1.9 million yen.
The unit's basic equipment includes an electric water heater for hot water supply, an electric cooking stove, and individually installed heating and cooling systems. A key remark from the agent notes that permanent residence is permitted. The property is served by the "Minami Atamidai" bus stop, with a timetable for buses heading to Atami Station.
The true value of this property lies in its extensive shared resort facilities. Residents have access to a natural hot spring bath with flowing source water (kakenagashi), a family bath, an open-air swimming pool, a rooftop garden offering views, a recreation room with a ping-pong table and massage chairs, and coin-operated laundry facilities. The building features an auto-lock system and has a full-time, day-shift superintendent. Parking is available indoors for 45 vehicles on an annual contract basis, with a monthly fee of 6,000 yen (subject to a lottery for 10 spaces). Monthly management fees total 15,350 yen, which includes a maintenance reserve fund for long-term renovations.
The surrounding Minami Atami area offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Atami is famous for its hot springs and spectacular seasonal fireworks displays over the ocean. An interesting local fact is that Atami's onsen culture dates back over a thousand years, with legends saying it was discovered by a wounded white heron that healed its leg in the hot springs. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Atami Castle, a reconstruction perched on a hill offering stunning panoramic views of Sagami Bay.
