Piste Yuzawa Resort Condominium
This property is a 1DK condominium located on the 6th floor of a 10-story building within the Piste Yuzawa complex in Niigata's famous ski region. With a private floor area of 40.15 square meters and a southwest-facing orientation, the unit offers a comfortable base for mountain getaways. The building, constructed in October 1987 by Kajima Corporation, features a robust steel-reinforced concrete structure and comprises 133 units in total.
Key equipment and facilities within the unit include an electric water heater for hot water supply, an electric stove for cooking, and baseboard heaters for warmth. Notably, there is no installed air conditioning system, but the window frames are designed to allow for the potential installation of a window-type cooler if desired.
A significant feature of the complex is its excellent access to winter sports. The Iwappara Ski Field is just a 4-minute walk away, making it ideal for ski enthusiasts. The property also benefits from a shuttle bus service, with a timetable available for resident convenience. Building amenities are extensive and cater to a resort lifestyle. Residents have access to a large communal bath (with heated water and a sauna, though the sauna is currently suspended), a multi-purpose room, a tune-up room, and a coin-operated laundry with four washing and four drying machines. Each unit is allocated one free ski locker. Security is provided via a 24-hour auto-lock system, and there is a front desk with managed hours. Parking is available with a total of 40 spaces (32 indoor and 8 outdoor), allocated at one space per unit at no extra charge.
Monthly fees include a management fee of 15,100 yen and a repair reserve fund of 4,200 yen, totaling 19,300 yen. Additional monthly utilities include a basic water charge of 1,100 yen. The property is offered for sale at 3,000,000 yen, with an intermediary fee of 330,000 yen. The sale includes existing furniture and fixtures, and the handover timing is negotiable.
The surrounding Yuzawa area is deeply connected to Japanese literature. It is famously the setting for Yasunari Kawabata's Nobel Prize-winning novel, 'Snow Country,' which opens with the iconic line, 'The train came out of the long tunnel into the snow country.' The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Naeba, part of the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, offering spectacular hiking in the warmer months and forming part of a vast, world-class ski region in winter.
