Momijidai Century Villa: A Spacious 3LDK Vacation Home in Kawaguchiko
Presenting the Momijidai Century Villa, a charming detached vacation home located in the scenic Kawaguchiko area of Yamanashi Prefecture. This 3LDK property, built in March 1989, offers a comfortable 86.11 sqm of living space across two floors, situated on a generous 286 sqm plot of land. The highlight of the home is its bright and airy LDK (Living-Dining-Kitchen) area, which benefits from a southwest orientation and openings on three sides, ensuring excellent ventilation and a pleasant atmosphere.
According to the agent's notes, the property is equipped with electricity supplied by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). A critical special note for prospective buyers is the name change fee (excluding inheritance). This one-time fee is 110,000 yen (including tax).
The villa is well-appointed for year-round comfort, featuring a wood-burning stove in the LDK for cozy winters and LP gas heaters in the Japanese-style room and two Western-style rooms. Utilities include individual LP gas, public water supply, a gas water heater, and an individual purification tank for drainage. The property includes one dedicated car parking space. It is important to note that any future rebuilding must comply with setback regulations, meaning a new structure cannot be built in the exact same location as the current one. Furthermore, the management regulations prohibit business activities such as minpaku (private lodging services).
The villa is part of the Momijidai Century Villa complex, which offers shared resort facilities including two tennis courts (1,000 yen per hour), a dog run, and rental vegetable gardens (one 10-tsubo plot for 5,000 yen from April to December). A management office is conveniently located approximately 250 meters away (about a 4-minute walk), providing easy access for assistance during operating hours.
Nestled in the foothills near Lake Kawaguchi, the property offers a perfect retreat with stunning views of the iconic Mount Fuji. The area is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its five lakes, hot springs, and abundant outdoor activities. A fascinating local fact is that Lake Kawaguchi is the second largest of the Fuji Five Lakes and is known for its perfect, mirror-like reflection of Mount Fuji on calm days, a sight sought after by photographers worldwide. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Fuji itself, Japan's highest and most sacred peak, providing a breathtaking backdrop for this tranquil vacation home.
