Resort Condominium Unit Near Ski Slopes and Hot Springs in Fukushima
This unique property is a single unit within a resort condominium complex located in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The building, constructed 50 years ago, features a distinctive fortress-like exterior, yet the interior is simple and functional. The unit offers 52.10 square meters of living space arranged in a 3LDK layout, providing ample room for a family, a group of friends, or remote workers.
Key features and agent notes include a large bath with a faulty water heater that requires replacement. However, the condominium complex itself houses a large communal hot spring bath (onsen) with free-flowing natural spring water, offering a convenient alternative. The property is sold for a symbolic 100 yen, but prospective buyers must be aware of mandatory ongoing costs. These include annual maintenance fees of 20,000 yen per month for six summer months and 30,000 yen per month for six winter months, plus approximately 60,000 yen in annual fixed asset tax for Inawashiro Town, totaling around 360,000 yen per year. Additionally, there is an outstanding maintenance fee arrears of approximately 450,000 yen that must be settled.
The location is ideal for nature and winter sports enthusiasts. It is approximately a 25-minute drive from the Inawashiro Bandai-kogen Interchange on the Ban-etsu Expressway. The popular Numajiri International Ski Resort and the Nakanosawa Hot Spring are within close proximity. The area is rich in natural attractions, with Lake Inawashiro, the Goshiki-numa Ponds, and the Shiraito Falls all accessible within a 10 to 35-minute drive by car. The Numajiri trailhead for Mount Adatara is about a 10-minute drive away. While a car is essential for daily life, as the nearest supermarket is about 25 minutes away, the setting is perfect for a resort getaway, a remote work base, or a seasonal retreat.
