Eco 260, completed in December 2010, is undoubtedly Niseko Hirafu's landmark building par excellence.
Experience the ultimate luxury and modern design of this 6 bedroom, 4 storey, 932 square meter masterpiece which includes a swimming pool with jacuse, gymnasium with ping pong table, cinema room, an elevator for ease of access and a huge, open plan living and dining area on the top floor.

The pool is lit by multi-coloured LED lights that can be changed to suit the mood, and is housed in a vast room with a two-storey ceiling, boasting uninterrupted views of Mt Yotei through gigantic floor-to-ceiling panes of glass – the largest in a residential home in Hokkaido. The gymnasium on a mezzanine level above shares the same outlook.

The grandiose design of all the living spaces in the building, including the 6 ensuite bedrooms, will accommodate 10 people easily while also allowing for complete privacy if desired.

And as for the views, the outlooks from basically every room in the residence are stunning – from Kutchan to Mt Yotei, Mt Konbu and over to Hanazono and Mount Annupuri; these views have to be seen to be believed. In the words of the French owner and designer:

“It’s an amazing view of Yotei to wake up to every day, but I find myself eating dinner facing the opposite direction to look at the mountain that is alive with skiers at night.”
The whole mansion is powered by solar panels and geothermal heating, that provide all the heat required for the pool, jacuzzi, driveway and floor heating, while from the top floor living room there are 260 degree views from way up high- hence the name Eco 260: a perfect synthesis of environmentally friendly living and opulence.
