Yuki Ita Residence: A Newly Built Mountain Retreat in Niseko
Presenting the Yuki Ita Residence, a newly constructed mountain retreat named 'Moiwa Sanctuary' that harmoniously blends Scandinavian and Japanese modern design. This fully custom-built home, scheduled for completion in 2025, offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It is situated in one of Niseko's premier locations, balancing tranquility with convenience, being just a 2-minute drive from Moiwa Ski Resort and 5 minutes from Annupuri. The expansive approximately 840 sqm property is surrounded by beautiful forest and the gentle sounds of a stream, designed as a private adult hideaway emphasizing privacy and serenity.
The spacious 215 sqm interior fuses Nordic sophistication with Japanese tranquility. The property comes fully furnished with meticulously selected items, including furniture, lighting, and tableware. The premium kitchen space is equipped with Miele appliances, Dekton countertops, and Hansgrohe faucets, and features a 3-seat bar counter, making cooking a special experience. The designer-finished living area centers around a Norwegian wood-burning stove, complemented by imported designer lighting to create a warm, high-quality atmosphere.
A key feature is the ultimate relaxation offered by a private deck with a roofed open-air bath (onsen-style bath), accessible directly from the bathroom, allowing you to unwind while immersed in the natural scenery of all four seasons. The residence includes a double master suite configuration: a spacious master bedroom with a private balcony on the first floor and another luxurious master room with a dedicated bathroom on the second floor. For year-round comfort, the entire house features underfloor heating, with air conditioning installed in the bedrooms and living room, and high-function TOTO smart toilets.
This property supports both lifestyle and investment, as it comes with a ready-to-operate hotel license for nightly (per-night) rental use, enabling immediate revenue generation. The construction and materials are of high quality, featuring charcoal-colored cedar board exterior walls and Japanese-made engineered wood flooring, ensuring robust and beautiful architecture that supports long-term value. Practicality is also well-considered, with a spacious ski & laundry room, a roofed carport, and a large owner's storage area.
Located in the serene and beautiful natural surroundings of Niseko, the area is famous for its world-class powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders globally. A fascinating fact is that Niseko's snow quality is often compared to that of Hokkaido's indigenous Ainu culture's term 'Niseko,' which some suggest means 'a cliff jutting over a riverbank deep in the mountains,' reflecting its dramatic landscape. The closest major landmark is the iconic Mount Yotei, often called 'Ezo Fuji' for its resemblance to Mount Fuji, which dominates the skyline and offers spectacular views year-round.
