This massive 12SLDK countryside lodge feels like your own private mountain retreat 🏔️. With about 535㎡ of living space across two floors plus a basement, it offers rare scale in Japan, perfect for a big family, guesthouse project, or a peaceful rural base.
Built in 1994 with a mix of wood and reinforced concrete, the home has warm interiors, spacious common areas, and up to 12 flexible rooms for bedrooms or guest spaces.
A standout feature is the separate open-air bath building connected to a hot spring, giving the property the feel of a small onsen hotel. The south-facing layout brings in plenty of natural light, and the kitchen is fully equipped with multiple burners, a grill, and everything needed for cooking for large groups.
You’ll also find two toilets, a bathroom with window and reheating, several air conditioners, and a basement perfect for storage or hobbies.
Set on a huge 1,940㎡ plot with garden space and good distance from neighbors, the home offers privacy and true countryside calm 🌿. Parking for three or more cars makes hosting easy, and the area is known for skiing, hiking, and stunning seasonal scenery.
Minamiaizu Town is a serene mountain region known for snowy winters, clear skies, and beautiful nature all year round 🌲
