Makkari Hide-Away Home – ¥80,000,000

Makkari Living at its Finest

A truly lovely house tucked away, with picture-perfect views of Mt. Yotei across idilic farm land, and south-facing to maximise sun light and reduce heating costs.

Located approximately 150m along a magical tree-lined country lane, set back from the main Route 66 road, this property boasts a sizeable 1,500+sqm of land and a spacious 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom home which was tastefully renovated in 2015 in a modern barn-style manner.
The property also has 3 toilets, making it a fanatically functioning year-round home or holiday retreat for families and friend groups.

This immaculate home is in great condition and offers a straightforward plug-and-play option for families or investors looking to capitalise on the rebirth of the region.

The internal setup of the home enjoys:
– An open-plan kitchen, living, dinning family area
– A large basement area with ‘ski-room’
– Ample storage space for a host of winter and summer equipment
– A second ‘commercial’ kitchen
– Space for a home gym / office
– Garage for multiple cars (circa 128sqm) with upstairs area

Following the end to Covid restrictions and international borders reopening, this past winter saw a huge influx of tourists desperate to revisit or experience Hokkaido for the first time.

Bookings for next winter are already looking stronger than pre-Covid times and with the weak Yen (JPY) many more nationalities have entered the fray.

Makkari is fast becoming the area of choice for many buyers due to its laid-back rural, farmer community, stunning Yotei views, and its phenomenal location situated between Niseko and Rusutsu, both 15-20mins drive, and close proximity to Lake Toya which is also a mere 25mins drive.

The local area has a number of cafes, famous pork restaurants, hairdressers, convenient stores, local supermarket and hardware store, and a beautiful river promenade for walks during the ‘green’ season.
Makkari even boasts a Michelin Starred restaurant Maccarina and one of the world’s best bakeries Boulangerie Jin.

For families looking to make this their home, there are also schools for all ages, a medical clinic and pharmacy, petrol stations and mechanics.
