Ocean View Izu Kogen Villa with Hot Spring Potential

Discover Potential in Izu Kogen: A Spacious 4LDK Villa with Ocean Views and Hot Spring Rights

Nestled in the serene villa area of Ukiyama Onsen Village in Yawatano, Ito, Shizuoka, this charming 4LDK wooden house presents a unique opportunity for both discerning investors and those seeking a tranquil retreat. Priced at $75,000 (all purchase costs included), this property offers significant value and potential in a highly desirable location.

Boasting a generous land area of 547 m² (5899 ft²) and a spacious building area of 142 m² (1542 ft²), the two-story home provides ample space for comfortable living or potential future development. The layout includes a 15-tatami living/dining/kitchen area on the first floor, along with a 3-tatami Japanese-style room. The second floor features three additional Japanese-style rooms (10, 6, and 4.5 tatami mats), perfect for guest rooms, hobbies, or relaxation spaces.

One of the most captivating aspects of this property is its breathtaking views of the ocean and the iconic Mt. Omuro, providing a constant connection to the stunning natural surroundings of the Izu Peninsula. Located 300 meters from Onada Coast and close to a local fishing spot, it’s an ideal base for enjoying marine activities and coastal walks. The property also benefits from hot spring rights, offering the luxury of enjoying soothing thermal baths within your own home – a quintessential Izu experience.

While the building, constructed in December 1967 (58 years old), requires comprehensive renovation work due to aging, this presents a fantastic opportunity for a buyer to customize and modernize the space to their exact specifications. Imagine transforming this classic structure into a contemporary haven while preserving its unique character and connection to nature. The property is equipped with private water supply, Tokyo Electric Power, individual propane gas, and an individual septic tank, ensuring essential utilities are in place. Parking is available with one free space. The villa area is managed by an association, with a monthly management fee of 4,000 JPY, ensuring the upkeep of common areas. There is a one-time hot spring name change fee of 220,000 JPY (tax included).

The location in Ito City’s Izu Kogen area is a major draw. The property is accessible from Izu-Kogen Station on the Izu Kyuko Line. While a 30-minute walk, it’s conveniently located just a short 6-minute drive (2.4 km) from the station, or a 3-minute walk from the nearest villa area bus stop. This makes it easily reachable by car, which is common for navigating the scenic, often hilly, Izu Kogen area. Reviews from residents in the area highlight the abundance of nature, fresh air and water, and a quiet atmosphere. While shopping might require a car, essential facilities like supermarkets, home centers, and drug stores are within reasonable distance, even if a 20-minute walk (as mentioned in one review) is preferred by some.

For investors, the potential for creating a high-value property in a popular tourist destination is significant. The demand for renovated properties or private villas in Izu Kogen for personal use or long-term rentals remains strong.

The proximity to numerous major tourist attractions within a 45-minute drive makes this location incredibly appealing to visitors and residents alike. These include:

• Mt. Omuro (10-15 mins by car): An iconic dormant volcano offering panoramic views accessible via a lift.
• Izu Shaboten Zoo (10-15 mins by car): A unique zoo featuring capybaras and cacti, located near Mt. Omuro.
