Hakone Sengokuhara Retreat: A Spacious Resort Property with Unique Features
This distinctive property in Hakone's Sengokuhara area presents a rare opportunity as a large-scale retreat facility, suitable for use as a vacation home, corporate training center, or a regulated private lodging business (minshuku). The building is a spacious two-story steel-framed structure with a stainless steel plate roof, built in June 1980. It offers a generous 7LDK layout plus a multi-purpose room and a mechanical room, providing ample space for groups.
Critical agent notes provide essential details about the property's facilities and registration. The equipment is serviced by Tokyo Electric Power Company. Importantly, there is an unregistered portion separate from the main structure, which is part of the mechanical room. Additionally, the equipment room for the shared well (which is also unregistered) is located on a detached parcel of land (飛地).
The property is exceptionally well-equipped for recreation, featuring on-site amenities such as a sauna, cold plunge bath, karaoke, and a ping-pong table, ensuring entertainment for all guests. The vast grounds of 11,722.31 sqm include a dedicated bonfire area, perfect for evening gatherings. The building itself has a total floor area of 424.92 sqm, with parking available for up to ten vehicles. Utilities include LP gas, well water, a gas water heater, an individual septic tank system, and seven air conditioning units for climate control.
Nestled in the prestigious resort town of Hakone in Kanagawa Prefecture, the area is famed for its natural hot springs, stunning views of Mount Fuji, and rich artistic heritage. The property is approximately a 15-minute walk from the Sengoku Annai-sho Mae bus stop, which is about a 25-minute bus ride from Hakone-Yumoto Station. A fascinating local fact is that the nearby Sengokuhara Susuki (Pampas Grass) Fields create a breathtaking golden landscape in autumn, attracting photographers and nature lovers. The closest major tourist attraction is the Hakone Open-Air Museum, a world-class sculpture park seamlessly integrating art with Hakone's majestic mountain scenery.
