Just 200 m from the lifts of Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort, this bespoke alpine chalet is one of the very few private homes in Niseko where the lifts are a true easy walk from your door — no car, no shuttle — putting you straight into some of the best powder in the world.

When the snow is falling in Niseko, those in the know head to Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort. With quiet slopes, treed glades, open bowls and — most importantly — deep powder, it has long been the locals’ mountain.

The Residence

Originally conceived and built by a long-time Niseko builder as a personal residence, the home reflects a level of care and craftsmanship rarely found in speculative builds.

A modern interpretation of a classic alpine chalet, the design features a dramatic gabled roof, wide eaves, and extensive use of natural timber throughout.

Constructed from old-growth Alaskan white spruce using post-and-beam log construction, the home balances durability with character. Inside, fully plastered walls complement the exposed timber structure.

The main living-dining-kitchen space rises to approximately 8 metres, with floor-to-ceiling glazing across three walls, bringing in natural light and forest views.

Custom Canadian red cedar windows and locally crafted timber doors reinforce the cohesive material palette, while a bespoke kitchen anchors the space.

In Niseko, opportunities to secure a private chalet combining this level of lift proximity, craftsmanship, and value are virtually non-existent. With ongoing upgrades at Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort and the upcoming Aman Niseko on the mountain, the area is evolving while remaining one of the few places where this level of access can still be secured.
