Iwaobetsu Ski Lodge

Description

Large, conveniently located property just outside of Kutchan, at the crossroads to Hirafu and Hanazono. Ideal for a person who wants all options open for skiing and town/village access, and to run as a lodge, personal use, or a combination.

Completed in 2013, this is currently run as a lodge, with an efficient floorplan that maximizes the number of bedrooms. The building is owner occupied and has been well maintained.

The ground floor houses a shop space, generous dry room area, and owner storage. One can imagine converting this into more bedrooms or possibly a self-contained 1LDK. The second floor is the owner’s residence and is a self-contained 1LDK. The walls of the area marked as an office can be moved, possibly to create a second bedroom. The third floor and loft are connected, and the 6 sleeping areas are used for lodge guests. These include a small self-service kitchen, double bathroom sinks, 2 toilets, and a shower.

There are beautiful views of Mt. Yotei, and forests to the back. From this location, it is just 2 minutes drive to Kutchan town center, or an easy 10 minutes walk to Max Value. Plenty of options to consider!
