“Niseko Riverview Estate is a haven for nature lovers; it has an alluring sense of seclusion and freedom, creating the perfect ambience for a carefree existence. Local fishing, pottering around your very own vegetable patch, strolls along the river. All this and more is the bounty for those fortunate enough to own a piece of this truly unique estate.” – Rod Hoy, local property developer and long-time resident.

Blocks within the Niseko Riverview Estate are large enough for owners to indulge in hobby farming and owners are encouraged to grow and harvest their own fresh produce.

Why Invest in Niseko

Niseko is transforming with the opening of the Higashiyama Hilton Hotel, the Capella Resort development underway and the much anticipated opening of the luxury all seasons resort Above + Beyond in 2010.

The region receives around 4.8 million visitors per year (JET RO, January 2006) and the number of international visitors – particularly from Asia – has been growing quickly. Recent research has shown that Asian tourists rate Japan as their most desired country to travel to and Niseko as their most desired destination within Japan.

The performance of the Niseko property market has been well reported over the past 3 years. In recent years there has been exceptional growth with average values rising by 33% (2006), 38% (2007) and 40% (2008).

Long-term capital growth is expected to continue with investor numbers from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, mainland China and Taiwan increasing rapidly.

For those who do make Niseko Riverview Estate a second home, the potential to make their property available to short-stay tourists adds a productive investment dimension to their decision to purchase. In particular, the foreign ski tourist market represents a potentially lucrative income stream.

The time is right to invest and enjoy a home away from home and growing rental demand. With its natural attributes and proximity to all amenities, Niseko Riverview Estate represents a wise investment.
