Koyo-dai Century Villa: A Spacious 4LDK Retreat in the Fuji Five Lakes Region
This property is a detached vacation home located in the scenic Koyo-dai Century Villa resort area near Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture. Built in August 1991, this two-story house with a basement offers a generous 4LDK layout, perfect for family getaways or as a holiday retreat. The south-facing living and dining area, combined with a Japanese-style room, is a highlight, providing excellent sunlight and a pleasant atmosphere. The corner windows on two sides invite refreshing breezes into the living space.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). A critical special note regarding fees is provided: a name change fee (excluding inheritance cases) of 110,000 yen (tax included) is required as a one-time payment.
The villa is conveniently situated approximately a 5-minute walk (about 400 meters) from the management office. The resort complex itself offers shared amenities including two tennis courts (available for 1,000 yen per hour), a dog run, and rental vegetable garden plots. The property comes with two parking spaces. It's important to note that due to existing building regulations on setbacks and floor area ratio, rebuilding on the same footprint and scale would not be possible. Furthermore, the management rules prohibit business activities such as minpaku (private lodging services).
The surrounding area is part of the famed Fuji Five Lakes region at the base of Mount Fuji. An interesting fact is that Lake Kawaguchi, one of the five lakes, is known for its perfect "upside-down Fuji" reflection on calm days. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Fuji itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering year-round scenic beauty and outdoor activities.
