Hand-Cut Log House in Niseko's Popular Stone Circle Soga Area
This unique property is a hand-cut log house situated in the increasingly popular vacation home area known as Stone Circle Soga, located between the Niseko Annupuri and Niseko Village ski resorts. The property boasts an exceptionally generous land area of 818 tsubo (approximately 2,706 square meters), offering vast space and privacy.
The house itself is a three-story wooden and reinforced concrete structure with a zinc-galvanized steel plate roof, built in September 2004. The total floor area is 225.46 square meters (68.20 tsubo), distributed across three floors. The layout includes 4LDK plus a loft, a storage room, and a first floor currently used as a storage area, though all spaces are fully usable. The second-floor living area features a large wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy winters. The property is currently occupied, so viewings require prior arrangement.
Key equipment and utilities include Hokkaido Electric Power, public water supply, LPG, NTT telecommunications, and a combined septic tank. Access is via two unpaved roads on the west and south sides, each with a width of 7 meters; snow removal on the western road is handled by the town. The location is highly convenient for ski enthusiasts, being just 2.5 km from Niseko Annupuri Ski Resort and 3.0 km from Niseko Village Ski Resort. The annual fixed asset tax for the 2025 fiscal year (R7) is 86,500 yen for the land and building combined.
The surrounding Niseko area is world-renowned for its exceptional powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. Beyond winter, the region transforms into a lush green destination for hiking, golf, and enjoying the natural hot springs (onsen). A major landmark nearby is the majestic Mount Yotei, often referred to as 'Ezo Fuji' for its striking resemblance to Mount Fuji, which dominates the skyline and offers spectacular views year-round.
