Seibu Villa Naeba Building 3: A Resort Condominium in a Premier Ski Destination
This property is a 1K apartment located within the Seibu Villa Naeba Building 3, a large-scale resort condominium complex in the heart of Niigata's famous ski country. The unit offers a compact 26.9m² of private space with a 2.83m² balcony facing southwest, situated on the 5th floor of a 6-story reinforced concrete building constructed in November 1978. The property is for sale at a price of 1,000,000 JPY.
The apartment's equipment includes a storage-type electric water heater for hot water, an electric cooktop for the kitchen, and a forced-air gas fan heater (FF system) for warming. Notably, there is currently no air conditioning unit installed, but one can be added subject to prior application and approval. A key point for buyers to note is that the electric water heater is currently out of order and requires attention.
Monthly fees include a management fee of 9,200 JPY and a repair reserve fund of 2,300 JPY, totaling 11,500 JPY. Additional regular costs are a basic water charge of 1,386 JPY per month. The complex itself offers significant shared amenities, including a 24-hour front desk at the Building 6 management center, a communal coin laundry with 7 washers and 4 dryers, and free use of a large shared parking lot with space for 250 vehicles. The building underwent major renovation work in October 2016, which included roof waterproofing and exterior wall painting.
The location is ideal for ski enthusiasts and those seeking a mountain retreat. The property is just a 13-minute walk from the renowned Naeba Ski Resort slopes. A short 15-minute drive will take you to the 'Shukuba no Yu' hot spring facility for post-ski relaxation. The area is part of the Yuzawa region, a world-class snow destination with a fascinating history; the town's development was profoundly shaped by the arrival of the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train in 1982, which turned it into a highly accessible winter sports hub for Tokyo residents. The closest major landmark is the vast Naeba Ski Resort itself, part of the larger Prince Snow Resorts Naeba area, known for its extensive terrain and seasonal festivals.
