Modern Villa with Onsen Potential in the Heart of Hakone
This contemporary detached villa, constructed in August 2023, offers a serene retreat in the prestigious Hakone Myojindaira (Sunny Park) resort area. The property features a bright and spacious 3LDK layout, with the approximately 17.8-tatami mat living-dining-kitchen area benefiting from three-sided windows that fill the space with natural light and gentle sunbeams. The second-floor LDK opens to a balcony surrounded by trees, offering views towards Mount Myojogatake. The villa includes a counter-style kitchen, two Western-style rooms, and a bathroom. A double-height ceiling above the staircase adds a sense of openness.
According to the agent's notes, the property's equipment includes electricity from Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). A critical feature is the availability of onsen (hot spring) access. The notes specify that bringing onsen water onto the property requires separate construction costs. Furthermore, there is a villa management deposit of 200,000 yen (tax-exempt) as a one-time fee. It is important to note that the onsen rights fee is referred to as the 'Onsen Hot Water Supply Security Deposit'. The agent also clarifies that the amounts for management fees and other payments differ depending on the ownership structure (individual, corporate, etc.).
The villa is situated within a well-managed resort community, with a management office located approximately 400 meters away, providing peace of mind for owners. Parking is available for two compact cars on the flat, directly accessible lot.
The property is located in the iconic Hakone region of Kanagawa Prefecture, part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Hakone is famous for its volcanic hot springs, stunning views of Mount Fuji on clear days, and the serene beauty of Lake Ashi. A fascinating fact about the area is that the Hakone Open-Air Museum, one of Japan's first open-air art museums, seamlessly blends world-class sculpture with the natural mountain landscape, creating a unique cultural experience. The closest major tourist attraction is the Hakone Open-Air Museum, a world-renowned sculpture park that is a must-visit destination in the region.
