St. Moritz, Kabayama

Price down on this stunning 5-bedroom architecturally designed home nestled within the highly sought-after St. Moritz area of Kabayama.

Situated on an unusually large plot for the area, spanning over 1,000 sqm (303 tsubo), the property boasts a wide heated driveway, enough room for 4 cars or more, with the bonus of an integrated garage allowing for easy and seamless access when returning in heavy snow.

Gardens wrap around the property with immaculate stone walls and lawns on one side, with mature trees the other.

At the back of the property, a wooded wonderland awaits the adventurous and is ideal for additional outbuildings, such as accommodation cabins, a ‘tea-house’ / meditation pagoda, or (if it were my choice) an elaborate treehouse.

This majestic natural playground is also accessible to and from the palatial outdoor entertainment area, which sits above the living space underneath, on the ground floor, and is connected via large glass door-windows from the living room on the first floor.

This space is simply perfect for year-round BBQs, dinner & drinks parties, and all manner of all-season soirees!

Upon entering the house through the large front door, the coat & boot room has a long bench spanning the entire side wall, providing enough space for 6 or more guests to comfortably sit while taking off and putting on their footwear. With coat hooks, too numerous to mention, perfect for a multitude of guests and party times.

Along with access to the sizeable garage, this space also connects to the laundry room and a 5th bedroom currently used as a maid’s room with a shower and a separate toilet.

A lavish and fully self-contained living area is located off this entrance space, which accommodates a small gym, living room with tv, kitchenette with dinning space, a large screened-off bedroom, and an oversized en-suite bathroom boasting full bath, his & her’s wash basins and a unique and luxurious his & her’s shower cubicle which doubles up as a ‘Steam-Sauna’.

The full length of this self-contained living area is connected to the lawned gardens outside via floor-to-ceiling sliding windows.

This space is absolutely perfect for accommodating visiting friends and family or other special guests!

Moving upstairs and into the belly of this beautiful beast is a mixed-use living space ideal for any occasion.

A south-facing balcony stretches across the living room at the top of the staircase, with double-height windows, providing for the beauty and majesty of Mount Yotei to be enjoyed, as well as for an abundance of light to flood the room and natural warmth to be harnessed during the winter months.

Free-flowing, yet practically and efficiently sectioned, the living space consists of a sitting area with a couch and 4 independent armchairs gathered around a modern fireplace. A full and professional bar and drinks station. Kitchen with counter-island. And a large circular dining table which seats 6-8 people.

As mentioned before outside terrace flows from the dining room area, enabling seamless indoor-outdoor enjoyment and entertaining.

Situated off the free-flowing living-dining room are 2 separate and independent double-bedrooms, one of which is in traditional Japanese ‘Tatami’ style, with the other being of modern / Western style. Both with a full ensuite bathroom and facilities.

Tucked away from the frolicking good times and festivities below and perched on the 3rd floor, is a further and final sizeable double-bedroom again with full ensuite bathroom and, likewise with the ground floor bedroom, boasts his & her’s wash basins and luxurious his & her’s shower cubicle which doubles up as a ‘Steam-Sauna’.

This Property is as beautiful as it is unique!

FAQ

1. Sales Process

Answer: The process begins with a formal offer (Offer Acceptance). Once accepted, NISADE drafts the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Statement of Important Matters. After signing, the buyer pays a deposit to a solicitor’s trust account. Legal documents like the Power of Attorney (POA) and Affidavit are then executed and notarized to finalize the title transfer at settlement.
Answer: The standard timeline for title transfer and closing in the Niseko area is approximately 4 to 6 weeks, though this can be adjusted based on the agreement between the buyer and seller.
Answer: No. Japan offers 100% freehold ownership rights. There are no legal restrictions on foreigners (individuals or entities) purchasing or owning real estate or land in Japan.

2. Investment & Returns

Answer: Niseko is Japan’s fastest-growing real estate market. It has evolved from Asia’s top winter destination into a year-round resort featuring world-class gastronomy and wellness. Significant institutional investment from global firms continues to drive the region’s development.
Answer: Properties typically see between 90 to 120 days of occupancy per year. Net yields generally range from 1% to 3%, depending on owner usage. Returns can be optimized by ensuring availability during peak periods like Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year.

3. Costs & Taxes

Answer: Buyers should budget approximately 5% of the purchase price for closing costs. This includes solicitor fees, acquisition taxes, stamp duty, and agency commissions (typically 3% + ¥60,000 for secondary market sales).
Answer: Owners are subject to an annual Fixed Asset Tax, calculated at 1.4% of the government-assessed value (usually lower than the market price). Additionally, if the property generates rental income, net profits are subject to Japanese Income Tax.

4. Property Management

Answer: Management typically covers reservation handling, general maintenance, utility bill payments, cleaning, laundry, snow clearing, and comprehensive fiscal/accounting services for the owner.
Answer: Management fees generally total around 35% of the nightly rate (split into a 10% administrative fee and a 25% rental management fee), plus annual fixed maintenance costs.
