There’s more than a few ex-pats who went skiing in Japan on a whim and ended up staying for good. The conditions, the culture, the tranquility…its a magical place that every skier should experience and if you have the dough, perhaps lay down some roots. For reference, this ski-in property located between the Annupuri and Niseko Village in the Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan will run you ¥290,000,000 ($2,700,000 USD).

The 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home sits on a 1.38-acre lot and could be expanded if you’re looking to build. With ski in access from Gate 7 of the Annupuri resort, you could end your day kicking off your boots at the back door and baking some bread in the woodfired oven. The craftsmanship looks top notch and of course the toilets plug into the socket. Watch the video, check the info COMPLETE LISTING HERE:
